1952 Chevrolet 3/4t Long Bed "3 Window" Pick Up Truck --beautiful! on 2040-cars
United States
For Sale: 1952 Chevrolet 3-window 3/4T Long Bed Pick Up truck, (8) lug hubs, 16" steel wheels, heavy duty springs. Description: Our truck is a CLEAN, Excellent running, driving, road worthy truck that was purchased as a "display" truck for my welding business. The truck is virtually rust free, and when I say rust free, I don't mean the surface rust. She has plenty of that, but the floor boards, kick panels, rocker panels, cab bottoms, floor, fender wells and the bed itself are beautiful. She does have some rust-through surface(s) where the upper rear part of the front fenders meet the interior kick panels on the cab, but this is minor and not bad at all. The pictures in this listing of our truck ARE the pictures of the truck that you will be purchasing. This truck has a 12-volt battery but the truck itself has not been formally converted to a 12 volt system. All physical dash indications in the truck work perfectly. The truck shifts great, starts right up and runs like it's purring. It could be put to work immediately as is, or restored. This is really a nice, solid truck. She was purchased for a promotional vehicle for my welding business, but I get enough referrals via word of mouth, and we really need to purchase a tractor, so the truck is being sold. Condition: The truck has obviously had some bumps and scrapes along it's life. The driver's front fender was hit and poorly repaired at one time. The passenger side rear fender had a chain come loose in the snow and damaged the right rear fender at the rear lip as shown. None of this minor damage described is unrepairable. The rear bed is complete as it was original, but it is all under a sheet of 3/32" steel that was placed in the bed at some point during the truck's life down here in Texas, (see pics.). The glass is all there, but it's not all good. Most of it will have to be replaced. It's chipped, it's cracked, and it's pitted. The rubber gaskets around all the glass are virtually crusted completely hard and are unserviceable. The doors open and close without any sag whatsoever. I have removed all the old cracked-up upolstry to preserve the seat springs, which are in excellent condition. The windshield wipers work intermittantly. The wiring is all original; but she uses a push-button starter switch taped to the steering column to facilitate the starter action on the newer 235 engine. She has just had a coolant flush, and a fresh oil & oil filter change. New Parts: New keys, ignition, locks, Battery, battery cables, positive and negative, fuel pump, fuel tank, fuel cap, fuel line, fuel filter, & oil filter. Extras: The was ordered with the radio blank, turn signals, windshield wipers, and a heater. All of these items are installed and/or functioning in the truck. The truck will have a complete spare '52 grill assembly that goes with it, a full size mounted and balanced 16" rim and tire, as shown in the bed. I also have a 4-cross lug wrench and jack that will go with the truck. The truck has had a professionally welded/extended 12-Volt Battery tray fabricated to use the existing holes for the original, (smaller), battery box in the frame under the passenger side floor board. The 12V battery itself sits below the original floor board access panel, clearly visitable in the pictures, just like the stock 6 volt battery did. You can easilly pull the 12V battery up through the floor for removal. I do have the stock OEM radio blank plate that goes into the dash, which does go with the truck. I also have a spare door glass that is packaged for shipment. I will provide DETAILED pictures of any part of the car you wish, before you purchase and/or make an offer, if you're not seeing what you need to see in the pics I have posted. I will answer any questions completely, before you make your offer and/or purchase. Please do not hesitate to email me through the E-bay matrix, or simply speed it up by calling: (254) 368-7399. If you do not want your question posted to the listing, please let me know that in your contact and your contact will be kept private. Thank you for your interest and best of luck to all interested parties. The truck IS for sale locally here in Central Texas, Killeen 76548.

How long will the 'golden age' of performance last?
Sat, Mar 26 2016High-powered sports and luxury cars were everywhere at the New York Auto Show, prompting the obvious question for enthusiasts: How long will this golden age of performance last? Industry leaders have some time before regulations elevate the Corporate Average Fuel Economy level in 2025. Even then, they expect cars rippling with power to survive in some form. "Is it the end of an era," I don't think so," said Ola Kallenius, Daimler AG board member for Mercedes-Benz cars marketing and sales. "That performance element of individual mobility I don't think will ever go away." Kallenius, who oversaw the company's AMG division from 2010-2013, expects it to continue to grow. Last year, AMG sold a record 68,875 units around the world, an increase of 44.6 percent over 2014, with strong growth in the US, China, and Germany. Still, there's always the potential for gas to spike, and pending fuel economy regulations are looming. That could lead AMG to add electrification to its products, Kallenius said, pointing to the electric SLS as a test case. Chevy is also thinking ahead, said Al Oppenheiser, chief engineer of the Camaro. He wouldn't bite when asked about electrification for the Camaro (he did say "never say never"), but admitted in 2025 "it's going to be pretty tough to sell V8s." For now, things are rosy for muscle cars, and Chevy confidently showcased the 640-hp Camaro ZL1 in coupe and convertible form in New York. "I think that this is truly the golden age of performance," Oppenheiser said. It's hard to disagree. News & Analysis News: The 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF was a show-stopper in New York. Analysis: There was a palpable energy when this RF — for Retractable Fastback — was revealed the night before the show at a trendy off-site venue near the Hudson River. Even as a parade of SUVs and flashy luxury cars rolled out the rest of the week, the Miata remained a hot topic. The Retractable Fastback is really a clever targa top, with part of the roof stowing behind the seats, adding about 100 pounds compared to the standard convertible. It makes the car more practical and arguably more attractive. The RF continues Mazda's tradition of selling the Miata with a hardtop variant. The first and second generations offered a detachable one, and a power retractable hardtop (a $1,700 option) was available on third-gen models. Judging by its reception in New York, the RF could prove to be even more popular than its predecessors.
Reuss says GM diesel plans are still on pace
Fri, Oct 16 2015General Motors is not going to let Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal ruin its plans for a new line of efficient, torquey oil-burners, the company's Executive Vice President Mark Reuss said at a recent press event. "No way," Reuss responded when asked about cancelling the upcoming diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze and other vehicles. "The Cruze Diesel is too good not to do it." Slated for 2017, the compact is just the latest member of a diesel offensive that initially kicked off with the first Cruze Diesel and most recently saw the introduction of the oil-burning Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. Reuss also reassured those in attendance that there was "no delay" in development of Cadillac's diesel lineup. Cadillac is working on a line of four- and six-cylinder turbodiesels for Europe. They'd make their way into the US market, too, eventually. "It's a question of timing," Reuss said, according to Car and Driver. Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has caused automakers across the globe to at least reanalyze their diesel strategy. Jaguar Land Rover, which is preparing several diesel-powered models for the US market, went on record late last month to reaffirm its commitment to diesel.

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
