1950 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup. Truck is a one-owner Texas truck with original title in-hand. Fresh motor and automatic
transmission. Motor and transmission are out of a 1987 C-10 Pickup. 305 motor was professionally rebuilt, bored 30
over, mild cam, and rebuilt heads. Also a freshly rebuilt Turbo 350 transmission with shift kit. On top of the
motor is a 650cfm Holley Carb and nicely polished Chevrolet Bowtie Valve Covers. Top has been chopped 5 inches.
Tilt steering. Brand new glass (which also had to be custom cut) the whole way around. 12v electric harness
conversion, new radiator and electric fan. The front clip of the truck is from a 1978 Mustang II and rear-end from
a 1986 Iroc-Z which gives the truck the lowered stance and advantages of front disc brakes and power steering. New
front grill, bumper, dash gauges, etc. H2 Hummer front bucket seats. Truck is 90% complete and while it's been
driven on the road several times over short distances, it needs fine tuning before it could be a daily driver. In
addition to the small stuff such as mirrors, interior door panels, headliner, etc. it's literally a newly built
truck and will need the steering aligned, transmission kick down cable installed, transmission cooling lines
installed (I have new ones that come with it), dash components installed (ash tray, glove box, etc. - I have the
originals, but you may want to get new ones), the bed of the truck could use some attention. While the wood is
nearly new, it wasn't properly installed and is bowing. I took some specific pictures of the wood bed so please
have a look. I washed the truck right before the pictures, so please note that while the wood appears finished,
it's only been stained (as it's wet in the pictures).
It's literally taken us seven years to finally get the truck to the point it is today and while we'd like to finish
it off, we simply have too many other priorities. The truck really needs someone to spend the time to properly
finely tune it to their liking. The hard part is done. As things sit now, the truck paint is new, but does have
some runs in it. I'd say it's at a 7 out of 10. I was told by the gentlemen that was painting it that it needed a
wet sand to knock off the runs (though not many). There's also some places on the body (around the cab and on the
hood - again, pictured) where there's some cracks in the paint. Though rough in spots, our plan was to patina the
truck which would build off its current character and really pull the entire truck together (not to mention add
value). The truck has been in three photo shoots, the first of which is in a published pinup girl magazine (a copy
comes with the sale). While the truck runs and drives, I think the starter is currently out as it won't turnover
(and battery is nearly new). I've been on international travel so haven't been able to look at it. With the sale of
the truck comes original title and original owner title sign-off, bill of sale from myself, a load of pictures from
the frame up restomod (I'll put them on a USB for you), electronic and printed copy of magazine publication, all
receipts I can locate, and nearly everything needed to complete the project (new windshield wipers, door handles,
etc.). Rare opportunity for a one owner truck. The truck is priced more than fairly. With a good patina and finish
off, the truck will make a great daily driver. Having it sit in the driveway has almost become a pain in that we're
often approached by individuals wanting to use it for a wedding, maternity, art, etc. photo shoots. Lots of
opportunity, just don't have the time and other priorities are pressing.

Man spent $75 on a truck that lasted 38 years
Mon, Jan 5 2015Absurd as it is, some buyers today are worried about getting their car to last throughout the term of their seven-year car loan. Minnesota resident Bob Sportel has the opposite issue: his Chevrolet truck seemingly won't die. Sportel needed a cheap ride to get to work when he took a job at a farmer's co-op 38 years ago, so he bought a rusty 1957 Chevy pickup for $75 from a farmer; at the time, the 20-year-old truck was almost as old as Bob was. After nearly four decades of daily driving and an estimated 300,000 miles, Sportel is still driving the truck today. Bolts secure a fender, Bondo secures the lights, what looks like a whole roll of duct tape keeps him sitting on the bench seat instead of in it. For a 58-year-old pickup that's never seen a garage or a new coat of paint – but did get its oil changed four times a year – that's not bad; Sportel thinks his repair bill hasn't got above $1,000 for the entire time he's owned the truck. He still has no plans to get rid of it, saying, "It just becomes a part of you." You can watch his story in the video above. News Source: KARE11.com Chevrolet Truck Classics Videos
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.
Did the Chevy Corvette Z06 break 7 minutes at the Ring? Not likely
Wed, Jan 28 2015"Just because it's on the internet doesn't make it true." That's rule number one, two and arguably, three, of surfing the world wide web. In today's example of this rule, we have the following. The website HorsepowerKings is claiming that a 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, with the eight-speed automatic and Z07 package, managed to lap the Nurburgring Nordschleife in under seven minutes. To put that in perspective, that super-quick time would put the 650-horsepower, $97,000 (the price of a 2LZ with the Z07/8AT combo) Z06 a mere two seconds slower around the world's most challenging race track than the $929,000, 887-horsepower Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach. It's about eight seconds quicker than Nissan's own test of the GT-R Nismo Track Pack and 13 seconds faster than a Dodge Viper ACR. Unfortunately, Chevy says there isn't anything to it. We reached out to the Bowtie's Monte Doran, who confirmed that HK's claims are "not accurate." "Any one – a manufacturer, a journalist, a guy standing on the fence of the Ring – can claim a lap time. As such, we think the in-car video is essential to proving a time is real and credible, and Chevrolet will not release a lap until we have a video to substantiate the claim," Doran told Autoblog. "Chevrolet accumulated nearly 1,000 miles of testing on the Nurburgring with the Z06. During that time, we only had two opportunities to run a lap on video – and both were rained out. If we get a lap on video, we will post an official time." Doran finished by referencing the "only official lap time" for the Z06 – a 2:41 around the Virginia International Raceway. Frankly, we aren't terribly surprised by Chevy's position. One would imagine if the Z06 were matching million-dollar hypercars around the 'Ring, the company would literally be screaming about it from Renaissance Center's rooftop. As this is quite the opposite of that, though, we're betting that the real Z06 lap time - while still likely very, very fast – won't be quite quick enough to frighten the brightest and best of today's hypercars.
