 Thank you for looking at my auction! Up for sale is a well built 1953 Chevrolet 5 Window Pickup. The truck was built by our shop in Marion, Oh called Poor Boys Resto. You can check us out on facebook. We are a local shop who builds hot rods and customs, does full restorations, and Custom race car work. We have an owned an operated Top Sportsman drag racing team, and bring to the table 40 years of combined experience between my father and I. This truck was a project that we built to keep as our own shop truck. Looking to put more money into our car as the season draws mid-way. So the truck is up for Sale As-is. The best components and the utmost attention to detail were mandatory on this vehicle. The details on the build are below. Any questions please do not hesitate to call me at 740-262-3732

Engine- 5.3l Ls, New wires, plugs, wire heat boots, starter, and alternator. Engine and alternator was mounted using Dirty Dingo slider mounts and the Alt only set up. 60,000 MILES!!!

Trans- 4l60E, 30" Lokar Trans mounted shifter. 

Drive TrainNew balanced custom driveshaft with new yoke and U-Joints built by Driveline 1 out of Columbus, OH. 75' Camaro GM 10 bolt 8.5 Rear end, Non-Posi, Drum Brakes.

Chassis- Factory chassis retained. Mustang II front suspension out of a mid 70's mustang. Front big disc brake kit. 11.5" drilled and slotted rotors with GM metric calipers.  Chassis was POR-15 painted. Boxed in the front where the IFS was installed. Brake lines are all stainless steel other than the tough bends and those are the NiCopp line. New chassis mounted power brake booster and master cylinder. Has a MANUAL mustang II rack. New Borgeson joints and stainless steel shaft were used as connections. Jegs 20 circuit wiring harness powers the chassis and inner cab. All lights are functional and new.
Truck Sits where it does because I like to drive things and not avoid railroad tracks or high bumps.  It lays running boards out in the grass and sits about 2" off the ground otherwise. Truck was built for functionality not to be a trailer queen. If that's the route you want to go you can adjust the front bag cups, and i will include a rear step notch kit, made for this frame from Gambino customs bought here on ebay.

Exhaust
- Hooker Block Hugger Headers, 2.25 single Custom built exhaust with a Flowmaster 40 Series muffler.

Air-Ride- The Air-Ride System is 100% RideTech other than the rear bags and mounts. Installed the RideTech front mustang II bag brackets, bags, and shock kit. Has the upgraded kit that comes with a larger rear tank, 2 compressors, and the red billet valve assembly which is mounted behind the seat. The rear set up is Slam Specialties 7" bags for a much nicer ride, paired up with Thor Brothers brackets.

Fuel System- Tanks Inc fuel injection tank. Bought the pump that is capable of handling 600hp. (We were going to run turbos on it.) The fuel System is 100% 6an braided line. Has the Corvette regulator system which is the return/filter/regulator all in one little tube.

InteriorThe dash was painted black with the polished glove box and radio cover. Factory re-covered and Fully re-built seat. All factory trim is in place and functional. It still needs carpeted, gauges, and the door glass put in. *You must purchase glass* Used the truck on nice days so never worried about it. Has a new chrome tilt column, a a new grant steering wheel. The turn signal and hazards are built into the column. Has factory door panels that i have not installed. Truck comes with another set of door that have all door and inner workings in it. You will need DOOR GLASS. All other glass in the truck was replaced with new seals.

Exterior- The truck was painted about 20 years and shows it with the beautiful patina it has. Has some bondo in the lower rear fenders, and front lower front fenders. That tail gate has quite a bit of bondo too. Not because of rust but i think because they were trying to smooth the lines out. The cab was purchased from kansas and has a few dents but ABSOLUTELY ZERO RUST. Bought a fulton visor to go along with it. Bed is not finished in the pictures but will be by auction end. Its getting red-oak to enclose the tank and Air-ride. There is absolutely zero room to work with using the factory chassis so instead of raising the bed floor 6-8 inches like an s-10 build i placed the tank near the cab for easy fill-ups and you will still have 4 1/2 foot of whole depth bed to use for parts, chairs, coolers, and etc.. You will have 8 bolts to take out for any air-ride service or fuel system problems. *Keeping it functional* especially for those without a lift.

Wheels- Wheels are Boss 338 18x8 front and 18x9.5 rear. These are wrapped in new Nitto Neo Gen tires. Rears have a nice dish to them and give it that hot rod look.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
