I found this truck when I was giving an estimate for a garage addition, the owner of it owned a car parts store. He opened the door and I about fell out! I have another 49 truck that I was working on for years and bought parts from him and he never said a word about it to me. Anyway, they decided to retire and his wife died the next day after retiring. He had built this truck for her as he took her out on dates with it before they were married. Since her passing, he did not want the truck anymore.
He took the truck completly apart 23 years ago, complety stripped it and built it from the ground up. Every nut and bolt came off of it. All parts were brand new. He took a camaro engine, the 2.8 v-6 and beefed it up, headers too, 4 barrel carb, better heads and so on. I don't quite know all the details. He put the overdrive tranny in it too, with a controller in the cab. Put new gauges in it, new seats, new column, radio, speakers and new handles. Brand new tires on rally rims. Has upgraded suspension under, not sure what but I think it was off the camaro. Had a good paint job on it. And then he drove it for only 18 miles!! Since then it was parked in his garage for the last 23 years! I bought the truck from him, probably paid too much, but since his wife just died I didn't attempt to talk him down. I drained all the fluids from it, put new fluids in, changed the battery and plugs, checked the brakes and all the other good stuff. It cranked within seconds!! So off down the road I went! It ran perfect but flooded when I returned, he had failed to put a fuel pressure regulator on it. Put that on, and now it was good to go. The steering pulled like hell to the right, he said he never took it to get an alignment done, I took it and now it drives straight. Has good power for the V-6 in it. Trucks down the road like a new one. Cranks right up every time. The only issue with the truck is the air conditioning, it sucks! Probably because it doesn't have one! The heater works great especially in the South Carolina summers! But is does have the nice cowl vents that push a lot of air in the cab. The other issue is that when it sits for a while the battery seems to go dead. I tried to see what was drawing the power but couldn't find anything, so I just unhook the battery when I park it. It also does not have the tailgate. This truck is just how I purchased it other than the wheels and a good cleaning. Has a few scuffs on the paint but not bad for 23 years old, I did have it buffed out too. I did put different wheels on it since I bought it. The tires are wide, but will need replacing soon. I will give you choice on the rally wheels with new tires that are not dry rotted or the ones on the picture. I like the ones on the picture myself. I really don't want to sell but I have my other 49, plus a 67 camaro that I need to finish and just don't have the room to store them like I want to. Plus my wife is on me about getting rid of some of them. Hate to see it go but someone would enjoy it more than I can. The truck is currently stored inside. Can store up to 30 days with no storage fees, but must be paid for first. It now has 265 miles on it and I feel confident it will make a long trip with no problems. No leaks either. Very good restoration 23 years ago. On Jun-16-14 at 06:16:14 PDT, seller added the following information: There is NO RUST on this truck, very good condition. |

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
Mary Barra reportedly confirms GM's electric pickup truck plans
Tue, Apr 30 2019According to Motor Authority, CEO Mary Barra confirmed General Motors' intentions to build an electric pickup truck this week. Whether or not it would be an all-new vehicle is unknown. The news comes not even a week after Ford announced a $500 million investment in electric-vehicle startup Rivian. First, electric powertrains were integrated into cars. Then came the crossovers and the SUVs. Naturally, then, the next wave will be pickup trucks. Ford is set to produce an electric F-150, Rivian has the R1T, and now General Motors has reportedly confirmed its plans to introduce a competitor into the field. The article says the topic was brought up in a recent investor call as part of a brief overview of the automaker's electrification strategy. That's where the details end, however, as there is no indication of a timeline, what GM brand would carry the truck, or whether it would be an entirely new product or an adaptation of a current model. The latter seems most likely, which points to the Chevrolet Silverado or the GMC Sierra as possibilities. Chevrolet has been GM's electrification leader this decade with the Bolt and Volt, so an electric Silverado would align well with that messaging and branding. However, an electric pickup would likely be a pricier premium product, which could align it better with GMC. Autoblog has reached out to GM for comment and will update this space when we get a response.

Sunday Drive: Trucks and SUVs of all shapes and sizes
Sun, Nov 5 2017The American automotive marketplace is dominated by trucks and SUVs, and so was the last week of coverage on Autoblog. By far, the most popular story of the week was our First Drive of the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. It may look like an old-school lumberer, but in reality Lincoln's flagship is a thoroughly modern, turbocharged-V6-powered, three-row, luxury people mover. The Jeep Wrangler is the world's most recognizable vehicle. So it's no surprise that the next version looks a whole heck of a lot like the last one, and the one before. It's all in the details, which is why we were so excited when Jeep decided to unleash a trio of images showing both two- and four-door Wranglers for us to dissect ahead of the SUV's official debut at the L.A. Auto Show later this year. Past that, spy photos of the next Chevy Silverado and Ram 1500 were predictably popular. See both of those below, and the cap it all off, check out the entire week's worth of SEMA coverage – including the bonkers Hennessey VelociRaptor 6x6 – in our mega image gallery at the bottom of this post. Enjoy! As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Lincoln Navigator First Drive | From black sheep to flagship 2018 Jeep Wrangler revealed: First photos released before L.A.
