1949 Chevy Truck Shortbed. V8 Ps Pb Automatic 5 Window Cab on 2040-cars

Year:1949 Mileage:99999
Location:

Umatilla, Florida, United States

Umatilla, Florida, United States

1949 Chevy truck.  Shortbed 3100 on a 1994 Silverado Frame.  Truck has power steering, tilt column, power brakes, front disc brakes.  New shocks, 350 chevy engine with Holley 600 four barrell carb.  Steel headers and dual exhaust ran to the rear of the cab with two thrush mufflers.  This truck runs and drives great. The frame and drivetrain came out of a silverado with less than 80k miles on it.  Runs like a bear! Has new aluminum radiator with electric fan.  AC compressor is still on the engine for anyone who wants to add air. The frame swap was done right.  As you can see in the pics, the truck has a ton of new parts.  Im not going to go through and make a list.  Has all new glass and rubbers, upgraded to electric windshield wiper motor.  Has bi-xenon headlights.  All the lights work including turn signals. Seat is newly recovered with genuine leather  The dash has been customized to fit a kenwood dvd/ navigation stereo.  It is not currently installed or included.  Rear speakers are wired and installed.  I can include and install the stereo/gps for an additional $550 if the buyer choses to do so.  Paint is only a few months old. Color is House of Kolor Tangelo Pearl. Its a great looking paint job, but it is not show quality or flawless.  Bed rails and bed floor are stained and varnished oak.  Wheels are 15 inch with new tires. Has new gauges that are all operational including electronic speedometer.  I have only put a few miles on the truck as of today, but I will be driving it all week to work out any possible small problems like squeaks or rattles.  Right now the truck needs a few minor details to be taken care of including front end alignment, carb adjustment (new), and some detailing.  Any questions, call me at 570-299-1755.  Truck has a clear 1949 FL title in my name ready for transfer.  I would consider a partial trade on a 1930-1954 chevy truck project with cash.  Nothing else.  This is a big boy toy, so check with your wife, your mother, your dog, or whoever you need to before you bid.  Call me with any reasonable offers, but dont call me to ask how much I want.  

I can help arrange transport if needed.  

My pics were taken while the truck was still a little dusty and dirty.  I will get more on during the auction


On Apr-22-14 at 13:00:00 PDT, seller added the following information:

I added a few more pics now that the truck is clean.  Had a front end alignment done today and drove it around to get a few more miles on it.  Ive had a ton of questions about the truck.  The frame is a complete frame swap.  Not a partial clip.  Its a full size shortbed 94 silverado under the 49 body.  It drives just like a 94 silverado.  It drives great.  It needs a few small things to be complete.  Nothing major.  It needs carpet.  Right now the floor is sprayed with truck bedliner and mostly covered with sound deadening material as you can see in the pics.  The drivers window rolls up and down but it needs adjustment, or a new regulator.  It works but its a little grumpy.  I have a few people coming by for test drives tomorrow and Thurs.  I will likely have the truck at the Good Guys show in Kissimmee FL on friday or saturday.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction

Sun, 17 Feb 2013

It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.

Chevy Cruze CNG available from Crazy Diamond Performance

Thu, Aug 7 2014

Anyone out there who can somehow find a second way to link Pink Floyd to natural gas vehicles gets a prize. Because so far, we have one Michigan-based company called Crazy Diamond Performance (Shine On You Crazy Diamond being a longtime Floyd fave) that's setting out to convert Chevrolet Cruze vehicles to run on compressed natural gas (CNG). All in the name of cheaper fuel and domestic security, of course. Crazy Diamond says it can offer a converted CNG-powered Chevy Cruze for a price as low as $26,000. That four-cylinder version has 130 horsepower and an 8.5-gasoline-gallon-equivalent capacity that provides a full-tank range of as many as 250 miles. Pony up another $2,000 or so and the peppier, turbocharged CNG Cruze can be yours. The company says it will provide a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty and is trying to get EPA certification for its conversions. The selling points are cheaper fuel (CNG is about half the cost of regular gasoline in some parts of the country) and homeland security (CNG reduces dependence on foreign oil). The only production passenger vehicle CNG in the US is the Honda Civic CNG, which sells in very limited numbers. Check out Crazy Diamond's flyer here.
