1953 Chevrolet 3100..

1953 CHEVY 3100 Deluxe Half-Ton Pickup with Five Window Option.  The truck is Deep Burgundy with a Gray interior. This rare Classic Pickup underwent an Off-Frame Restoration, six years ago by the experienced car restorer I bought the truck from, including the exterior, interior, chrome, bed & mechanics. He installed a newly rebuilt 6-cylinder 235 cubic inch displacement engine which has only 1100 miles on it (new speedometer shows 610 miles driven).  It has a 3 speed "3 on the tree" transmission, chrome valve and air filter covers, manual choke, amber fog lamps, parking lights, working vent windows, floor mats, full instrumentation, owners manual, floor mounted step button starter, new dual side view chrome exterior mirrors, turn signals, polished aluminum heavy duty “Bow Tie” step plates on the running boards which match the sculpted “Bow Tie” polished aluminum heavy duty bed, 4 whitewall All-Season Steel Belted Radial Tires with lots of tread left and filled with nitrogen.  In addition the truck has a fully carpeted cab, silver-grey front & rear bumpers and grill, dual rear tail lights and a “Chevrolet” scripted rear tailgate.  The electric system is upgraded to 12-Volts for improved power and reliability.  In the past year I rebuilt the carburetor, installed a new fuel pump and sending unit, flushed and cleaned the fuel lines, rebuilt the brakes and master cylinder including the parking brake, tightened and replaced the steering king pins and tie rod ends, replaced the outer tie rod ends and repacked and adjusted the front wheel bearings, replaced all shocks, rebuilt the cab heating system and installed new door Hardware and window risers.  In September 2012 the distributor cap, rotor, spark plugs, wires, points and condenser were replaced.

The truck has been garaged and protected from the elements.  The truck also has optional fender skirts that can be added to give the rear wheels an“extra touch of class.”

The three-owner truck is of Collector Quality Restored Classic Condition.  It starts readily, runs strong and shifts well.  

Note: The manual throttle has been disconnected and the horn is activated by a lever under the steering wheel.  Please review the photos carefully to view the condition of the body finish.

You may contact me at: rudolph912@gmail.com and I will provide you will my phone number at that time for any additional information. Note that the buyer is responsible for shipping and handling of this vehicle.

Junkyard Gem: 1980 Chevrolet LUV Mikado

Sat, Oct 9 2021

During the 1970s and into the 1980s, each member of the Detroit Big Three imported Japanese small pickups and sold them with Ford (Mazda Proceed), Dodge/Plymouth (Mitsubishi Forte), or Chevrolet (Isuzu Faster) badges here. Ford developed the Ranger and killed the Courier for 1983 (though Americans could still buy the Mazda-badged version all the way through 1993), while The General axed the LUV after the S-10 debuted in the 1982 model year. Isuzu sold the same truck as the P'up through 1987, though, and we might as well follow up our recent P'up Junkyard Gem with its LUV predecessor. LUV stood for Light Utility Vehicle, and I've managed to spot a handful in the boneyards over the years. This one now resides in a yard in northeastern Colorado. The Mikado trim package included striped seat upholstery and a sporty steering wheel, plus these cool dash badges. As far as I can tell, no LUV Mikado advertising featured any Gilbert and Sullivan tunes. This one is fairly rusty for Front Range Colorado, and it has endured a bed swap from some other small truck. The engine is the 75-horse Isuzu 1.8-liter. Members of this engine family went into everything from Chevy Chevettes to Isuzu Troopers in the United States. Very unusually for a small pickup during the Malaise Era, this one has a luxurious automatic transmission. Acceleration must have been a leisurely affair in this truck. Air conditioning? Unheard of! Someone stuck every one of their lunchtime apple stickers on the driver's door. After 41 years of work, this truck is done. Come on strong in a LUV of your own!

GM recalling 70k Chevy Malibus, Pontiac G6s over steering issue

Sun, Feb 15 2015

A problem with the power steering system in the Chevy Malibu and Pontiac G6 has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for an estimated 69,633 vehicles. The issue revolves around the electric power steering assist, which could suddenly fail and increase the risk of a crash, especially at low speeds where the power steering is most helpful. The recall affects 2006-2007 Chevy Malibu sedans and Malibu Maxx wagons (specifically those manufactured between April 1, 2006, and June 30, 2006), as well as the Pontiac G6 (which was offered as a sedan, coupe or convertible) from the same model years and manufactured from April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. Owners of the affected units can expect to hear from the manufacturer with instructions to bring in their vehicles to their local dealers to have the torque sensors in the power steering system replaced. RECALL Subject : Sudden Loss of Electric Power Steering , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: FEB 04, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V064000 Component(s): STEERING Potential Number of Units Affected: 69,633 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured April 1, 2006, to June 30, 2006, and 2006-2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. In the affected vehicles, there may be a sudden loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist that could occur at any time while driving. CONSEQUENCE: If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14772. Note: This is an expansion of recall 14V-153 to cover additional vehicles built between April 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
