1954 5 Window 3100 truck. This truck is in great shape. I have had it for 2 years and did everything I thought it should have to restore it to its original character. This has the original engine and most importantly the original 2 tone deluxe blue interior cab. The 2 tone deluxe interior was an upgrade in 1954 and this interior is very rare -- see the original Chevy brochure in the photos. I only know of a few other trucks with the original interior 2 tone deluxe paint.

The engine runs great. I have had two mechanics review the truck for all mechanical issues and none were found. This still has the original 6V system, which hold a full charge and never had any issues. 

The bed is sealed IPE, a Brazilian hardwood, which is dense and has the luster of mahogany. All chrome on the truck is in great shape. 

The truck comes with an original period correct fire extinguisher, to be located and installed by the next Owner. It also includes a cab visor which I removed because I liked the look of the truck without the visor better.

Here is a list of the items I tackled. Everything is documented with photos and receipts.

• New kingpins
• New fuel pump 
• New heater and radiator hoses. All nuts and bolts used in my part of the restoration are stainless steel.
• New brake lines -- current drum brakes work extremely well.
• Restored original AM radio (rare) now gets AM, FM and can plug into a device like an IPhone
• New door windlace (be happy I did that -- it is not a fun task)
• Reconditioned the vacuum wiper control
• New speedometer
• New speedometer cable
• New cross sills and rear cross sill
• New stainless steel bed strips
• New neoprene tailgate trunion. Neoprene makes the tailgate operation almost silent as opposed to the metal trunions.
• Re-wired the rear lights and blinkers (all electric items on the truck work)
• New rear tail light chrome wire loom.
• Complete cleaning of the frame under the bed with primer and three coats of black satin paint.
• Restored Harrison heater / defroster
• New radial tires -- makes an incredible difference in driving
• New cowl vent gasket
• New passenger side window weather-stripping, cat whiskers and vent window gaskets
• New driver's side and passenger side seat belts
• Removed, cleaned, primed and under-coated each rear fender.
• Installed fender welt on the rear fenders
• Sourced and installed the proper under-bed tire carrier (rare)
• Currently priming and painting both bed side splash fenders. All parts sandblasted first.

Here's what I might do if I keep the truck:
• Install the driver's side door window weather-stripping (I have the kit and will include it with the truck)
• Remove, clean and paint the underside of the running boards
• Remove, clean, prime and under-coat each front fender.
• Install fender welt on the front fenders
• Adjust the parking brake
• Wash, wax and drive the truck as much as possible. There is really not much left except take care of this easy to drive and reliable truck.

This truck needs to go to someone who understands the legacy of these trucks and the value of preserving the history of this specific vehicle. This is a one-of-a-kind daily driver.

Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum

Tue, Aug 27 2019

Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles.  The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.

Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
