1952 Chevrolet Truck 3100 Standard Cab Pickup 2-door on 2040-cars
Daleville, Alabama, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1952 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup. I purchased the truck locally just over a year ago with the intentions of restoring it. When I purchased it the original 216 ran good. It also drove and stopped well. The previous owner replaced many brake and fuel components and upgraded it to 12v. I replace the plugs, wires, fuel pump, rebuilt the carb and put in a new battery. It ran just as it should before I started to disassemble it. This is a project I started but unfortunately due to military relocation I am unable to finish it. The truck really is not as bad as the pictures make it out to be. This is a southern truck so rust is minimal for its age. I started to replace the floor pans (see pics). The cab corners and rockers are original metal and in great shape. There are various dings, dents and minor rust spots throughout the vehicle. Again, understand this is a project! This truck is complete except for windshield and rear glass, tailgate and some bed ribs. I have extra parts including a set of doors, a rebuildable 235 short block and various other parts. I recently had the seat reupholstered (top and bottom). It's sitting on brand new white wall tires ordered from diamondback tires ($849.00 I have the receipt). The steering wheel has also been redone. I have approximately $1000.00 of odds and ends from LMC truck that will also go with in the sale including but not limited to floor pans (the passenger side is almost done). I really hate to sell this project but I know I won't get it done anytime soon. Due to its current state, the truck does not run. It does roll and stop just fine. It may be running in the next couple days if I find time to mess with it. The truck does not come with a title because Alabama does not issues titles for vehicles this old. It is currently registered and insured in my name. All you need is a copy of the current registration, a bill of sale and if your state requires a title, they will be able to issue one. This is a project that could quickly be put back together and on the road within a of couple days. If you have any questions, feel free to email me and I will do my best to answer them. Also, if you would like to look at the truck in person, please contact me and we can arrange a showing. Truck is for sale locally so I have the right to end auction early. Truck must be picked up ASAP after auction. Like I said, I'm moving and it has to go. The truck is located in Daleville AL, approximately 25 minutes west of Dothan, AL Happy bidding. $100.00 NON-REFUNDABLE PayPal deposit due within 48 hrs. I prefer the remaining balance to be paid in cash at pickup. |

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]
Mon, 18 Aug 2014For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
