1951 Chevrolet Pickup 1/2 ton deluxe cab. Fun pickup to drive and enjoy.

This little pickup is a jack rabbit down the road with the five speed tranny and Camaro rear end ('89 which is the proper ratio for the trans). Starts every time with choke. New mags and radial tires (15"), new clutch and pressure plate and flywheel resurfaced, new brakes, hoses, lines, master cylinder is newly rebuilt, drums have been turned, new drive shaft with balance and u-joints, gas tank removed and sealed with new sender, door glasses and windshield glass and rubber replaced, new battery, alternator/cables, new gas lines from tank to carb. Carb has been rebuilt but still not to my satisfaction, blows a little smoke from rich gas, I would replace it.  All new fluids in system, brakes, anti-freeze, oil, trans oil. New tranny mount, new gaskets on oil pan and valve covers. Fresh tune-up with new wires, etc. New spring bushings, pins, and tie-bolts on all four springs. Added turn signals/four way flashers. One key works doors, ignition and glove box.
New headliner, new faces on gauges and some new chrome parts.

Problems:  Front seat has a minor torn seat viewable in photo.  Slight leak in rear main seal.  I would buy a new carb if I was keeping the pickup.
                     Kingpins would  need to be replaced at some point in time.
                     Rust issues:  Minor rust in right rear cab corner and driver's floorboard as shown in pics. Lower front of pickup bed has rust as
                                               most of these old pickups didn't drain well out on the farm.
                     Speedometer needs to be lubed as it makes a bit of noise.

The pickup drives very well but I am very critical and strive for perfection.

We will be glad to store a bit longer if paid within the seven days.  Lower forty-eight states only. Thank you very much for viewing and or bidding on our little pickup.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?
