1951 Chevy 5 window pickup truck. Perfect desert sheet metal ready for paint. I own six desert trucks 47 through 53 and this is one of two with the nicest sheet metal but I am narrowing my collection down and will sell this for the right price. The other truck has an Oldsmobile subframe and 400 motor so I decided to build it instead of this one. I only buy clean southwestern trucks for projects and this is one of the best. I will keep the truck and complete the build in my shop if the reserve is not met. Super straight and clean sheet metal with good glass all around. Doors close well and window regulators all work. Good running 350 SBC with new Edelbrock carb, runs strong. 350 Automatic transmission. Camaro rear end, original straight axle front end. Good brakes and drives well, needs tires. Tires are dried from the desert heat and need replaced to drive. I drove the truck home and it cruises at 65 nicely. Clean fuel tank. All gauges work, Ammeter, Oil pressure, Temp and Fuel. Someone put a GMC grill and hood on, I don't know when or why but it is titled a '51 Chevy and the numbers match. I have the regular Chevy Hood and grill for a few extra dollars if that is a preference.
Seat frame and springs all there, needs recovered. These are very simple interiors which is one of the reasons I buy them to restore.
Hard to find trucks this clean already set up with engine and drivetrain, only needing paint, interior and tires.
This site is increasingly being abused by would be buyers who do not follow through. If you are not sure about buying, please do not bid. I would appreciate it if you didn't waste either of our time. Thanks and good luck bidding on a nice truck.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land
Thu, Oct 15 2015Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.

2016 Chevy Volt will not need premium gas
Wed, Oct 29 2014Buried in the new technical details of the 2016 Chevy Volt released yesterday was a throwaway line about a small but important change that's due to the new 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. The first-gen Volt has always required premium gas but the new powerplant will be happy burning plain old regular. The Volt's chief engineer, Andrew Farah, told AutoblogGreen that the change was due to today's Volt owners explaining they were not happy paying for top-shelf petroleum. "The ability to use regular unleaded was based directly on customer feedback," he said. "Since the range extender is an all-new engine, it was optimized to use regular unleaded at the outset. Using regular fuel will not have effect on vehicle acceleration or other performance factors." As Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification, told AutoblogGreen yesterday, the new engine is more powerful and quieter than the outgoing 1.4-liter engine that's used in the current Volt. Fuel economy and EV range specs for the next-gen Volt are not expected until the full car is revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
