1949 Chevrolet Pick-Up Street Rod
I traded for this truck about a month ago, and truthfully, it’s way too nice for me... I’ll tell you everything I can and know about it.
I have way too many projects and not enough room.... so I’m going to sell it, SORRY BUT... NO TRADES.
THIS TRUCK IS A NEW BUILD AND HAS 990 MILES ON IT SINCE COMPLETED!
1949 Chevy truck, 350 throttle body injected, automatic (turbo 400) all from a 1988 GMC Engine and transmission both fresh rebuilds. I drove the truck last weekend about 300 miles at 70-75mph with the air on and got 21mpg.
Everything is NEW....
The truck has a Camaro sub that has been completely rebuilt, disc brakes on the front, fresh Camaro rear axle, power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, power windows, electric door poppers, leather interior, one piece fiberglass headliner covered in leather, oak floor, New Bed, Corvette style tail lights, Newport brand 2 speed self parking wipers, new gauges, Ididit column, billet half wrap steering wheel, Painless wiring, Lokar shifter and brake handle, Hidden Audio stereo, Sirius compatible with mp3 and smart phone conections, billet remote reservoir for brake master cylinder, factory GM serpentine belt drive system, billet valve covers & air cleaner, all new factory cut safety glass, one piece custom seamless windshield, Lizard skin inside and outside of the cab and much more!
EVERYTHING IS BRAND NEW ON THIS TRUCK!!!
PLEASE CALL ME WITH ANY OR ALL QUESTIONS 573-406-7573
Everything is name brand and of professional quality. A friend of mine built the truck, so I can’t take any credit for the build or the truck. I happen to be in the right place at the right time... I traded a car that I had to him, because his family grew, and the truck wasn’t big enough for the whole family...
The truck was a four year build and he used the BEST of everything and it shows.
I never asked my friend what he had in it, or what it cost to build this truck, but with my knowledge and experience in building, and buying street rods, I’m gonna estimate 25 to 30k just in parts alone.... like I said he used the best of everything.
He is an excellent fabricator, machinist and welder. This truck was built with great care for him and his family to enjoy, so safety along with quality was the goal, and it shows!
I drove the truck to St. Louis the other week at 70 & 75 mph all the way, and it drove like a dream. The air blew ice cold and it was 100 degrees outside. It is a quiet and solid ride... it was like driving a new truck.
I tried to be as honest as possible and tell you as much as I can, PLEASE call me 573-406-7573 with any questions you may have before bidding, I want you to have complete confidence in what you are bidding on.
With that being said, if you bid and win be prepared to buy! No Trades!
No tire kickers or gotta/shoulda asked my wife or husband... you bid, you buy, you own!!!
It truly is a great truck. It attracts more attention than you can imagine where ever you
take it. When you park it someplace you just stand back and watch the crowd gather.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL ME 573-406-7573 or email me through ebay or my personal email: rmdesign@adams.net
The truck is For Sale, So Bid what YOU are comfortable with!
The truck has a very reasonable reserve on it! I'd like to sell it, but I don't need to sell it!
I will NOT tell you the reserve price so don't ask! Please, Do Not Call Just To Ask Me What The Reserve Is!

A conversation with GM's Mark Reuss on MPG, aluminum and Corvettes
Wed, Feb 19 2014There was plenty to talk about when General Motors hosted its annual mid-December holiday media reception a few months ago. GM had just decided to pull its global Chevrolet brand out of major European markets, where Chevys have competed directly with GM Europe Opel and Vauxhall vehicles, and the US government had sold its last remaining shares of GM stock. But most important was the company's just-reshuffled leadership. Post-bankruptcy CEO Dan Akerson had announced that he would step aside and that 52-year-old Mary Barra would replace him on January 15. Not only would she be the first woman to lead a major automaker, she would also be GM's first engineer CEO since Bob Stempel in the early 1990s. "I look at 2013 and 2014, as the retooling of General Motors" - Mark Reuss Replacing her as executive VP for global product development (and purchasing and supply chain) would be 49-year-old Mark Reuss, who had served a stellar four years as North American president, and elevated to corporate president (from executive VP and CFO) would be 42-year-old Dan Amman. All three are relatively young auto enthusiasts who are liked and respected inside and outside the company, and their collective talents and experience are highly complementary. I've interviewed Barra and found her smart, personable and knowledgeable, though she carefully walks the corporate line in speaking and answering questions. I met and chatted with Ammann for the first time at that holiday reception, and he made a good first impression. But I've known Reuss for some time as a genuinely good guy and a highly capable and inspiring leader, and I believe he is exactly the right person for the global product responsibility once famously held by the outspoken, oft-controversial Bob Lutz. So I jumped at an opportunity to join a group interview of Reuss (with mostly business reporters) at the Detroit Auto Show in January. It was an interesting session of mostly good questions, which he answered with refreshing candor and humor. "I look at 2013 and 2014, as the retooling of General Motors," Reuss said. "We've taken down almost every plant in North America, converted and turned it this last year, and to do that with award-winning vehicles and pretty flawless launches is key. We have to keep the train rolling on great product, because the rest won't happen without the best product, period." A reporter asked whether GM was pushing big trucks, SUVs and Corvettes again because gas is cheap. "No," Reuss said.
GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
Best and Worst GM Cars
Thu, Apr 7 2022Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded. While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.
