Selling My pride and joy. This truck was my friends truck and he passed away. Wouldn't be selling, but life gets in the way. This is a 1949 Chevrolet 3100 1/2 ton 5 window cab truck. It has a few personal touches, but mostly original. To start, it has a Chevrolet 350 sbc engine that starts and runs unbelievably well. It is still carbureted. Not sure on the specifics of the engine, but does seem like a small cam installed. He had the engine built by a shop, but have no info on it. The truck was a garage queen. It sat in his garage and was usually only driven on the weekends since the rebuild. It still has the original factory 4 speed manual transmission. The rear tires are 275-60-15 and are like new. The fronts are 195-75-14, and are around 40%. It sits nice with this set up, I was hoping to drop it down just a little. I believe the rear axle was out of a camero, but not positive. It does have the 5 bolt wheel pattern. Never had the chance to look into it yet. They are buick rims on this truck and I will include a spare buick rim also with the sale. It will need brake work. I only drove it a short distance twice, and around the yard. Seems like the master cylinder will need to be replaced and brakes bleed. Yesterday when I drove it out of the barn, the pedal stuck at the floor. A friend told me that's typical of these cause the spring goes bad. I did find the rebuild kit on here for $17.95 plus shipping. The headlights and brake lights work, but not the tail lights. Unfortunately I don't have the time and resources to fix this at the moment. It has a new interior headliner. The door panels were redone in wood, and he made a speaker box between the seats out of wood also. Not the fanciest, but nice touch. This is a stereo delete truck, and is no stereo in it, but I will include one to the winning bidder if you meet my reserve. The seats are very nice bucket seats, maybe out of a camero, and look great and very confortable. The exhaust is dual exhaust with glass packs and in good condition. It will need shocks. The body is a ratrod style. It has its usual Wisconsin rust issues. Someone had done some repairs, but not professionally. I took some pics, so you can see for yourself. From what I can tell, the floors seem fine. It does have outdoor green nylon plastic carpet glued on the floor. Battery is brand new and still located in factory original place below the passenger floor pan. There is wood bolted to the running boards, after looking at them, they are rusted. They also put wood on each side of the bedsides, not sure why but at one point, they put some real time in the staining it all. Unfortunately, time has taken its toll and the clear is pealing off the wood. This truck has always been my dream truck, but fell into my hands in a unfortunate situation. However, it will make someone a awesome fun project to tinker with and make it there own. The truck has a clear title. With a few hours of brake work, this truck can be your driver. Hate to see it go, but hard times have caught up to us. I reserve the right to end the auction early, the truck is for sale locally. The truck is being sold as is where is, and is available to inspect if you contact me. I will not ship, but will try to assist your shipper as much as possible but not guarantied. The buyer takes full responsibility for any and all shipping costs. There are no warranties or guaranties implied. Any questions, please feel free to contact me before bidding. Thanks and good luck.

GM slashes prices in China as sales falter
Thu, May 14 2015Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.

Hot air balloons caught in high winds drag fullsize SUV
Mon, Jul 20 2015A sudden storm front whipped up enough wind to send some hot air balloons flying into the air in Wisconsin over the weekend. One ballon proved so energetic that it was able to drag a fullsize SUV across a field and into a stand of tents. The freak accident occurred at Balloonfest in Waterford, Wisconsin. Spectators were horrified as balloons dragged handlers to the ground and launched with terrified pilots clinging to their baskets. Organizers had started packing up the colorful balloons due to ominous storm clouds when the wind kicked up. "Happened just like that; it was crazy," Nathan Fricke, crew member, told Fox 6. Winds were clocked at 40 to 50 miles per hour. A balloon caught in the wind dragged a large SUV (we think a Suburban or Yukon XL) hundreds of feet and into a cluster of tents on the edge of the staging area where balloons were on display for festival goers. Considering that the SUV surely weighs well over 5,000 pounds, it's lucky that no one was injured in the incident. News Source: Fox6Now Weird Car News Chevrolet GM GMC SUV
Chevy up to old EVs-equal-range-anxiety tricks in new Volt Olympics ad
Fri, Feb 14 2014General Motors is at it again with a new Chevrolet Volt TV commercial. Viewers of the Winter Olymics (at least in some markets) recently saw a TV ad in between the skating and the skiing that made no mention of the environmental benefits or freedom from the power of Big Oil that electric vehicles provide. No, this one was based on pure survival instinct. In the video, a father is driving down a highway, perhaps through the Mojave Desert. His young son is sitting in the Volt's backseat and asks what happens when the EV's battery runs out. "We'll have to cross that burning desert with snakes and cactus until we make it back to civilization," the dad tells his son as they pass the skeleton of a fallen bull. The fine print makes it clear that the actual maximum range is 342 miles. But there is hope. The father tells his son, with a beaming smile on his face, that the gas generator has kicked in and they're going to make it through the desert. As they wend their way to the horizon, a voice over says that Volt drivers who charge up regularly are making it 900 miles between fill ups. The fine print makes it clear that the actual official maximum range before you need to either plug in or fill up is 342 miles. This theme that emphasized range anxiety has been utilized by GM since the extended range Volt was launched in late 2010, despite the fact that Chevrolet now offers an all-electric vehicle in the Spark EV. Volt fans are praising the commercial, called The New Freedom, on the GM-Volt forum and you can see for yourself below. This content is hosted by a third party.
