1955 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup Truck First Series Short Stepside Original on 2040-cars
Kalama, Washington, United States
|
Up for sale is the very last of the First Series Chevrolet 3100 half ton short step side pickup trucks. 1955 was a split year for the Chevrolet truck. The first half of the 3100 model line of 1955 production was called the 'First Series'. At the mid point of Chevrolet's 1955 truck production they switched to an entirely different 'Second Series' truck, called the 'Task Force' series. This 1955 half ton 3100 model is a very nice find in that this truck is very rust free for a non restored vehicle. In the state we live in the roads are not salted in the winters. Therefore this truck does not have enormous amounts of rust usually found in other vehicles from states that do salt the roads in the winters. BOTH doors open and shut as flawlessly as the day this truck was built with ZERO slop at the hinges. The cab corners are absolutely rust free, as are the floorboards and the bottoms of the doors. There are dings and small dents in several places throughout, but as you can see from the supplied pictures these are minimal. Comes with stock seat, the original tin wraparound panel at the bottom of the seat, stock steering wheel and column. The stock gauges are all in place and the dash is uncut and undamaged in any way. All the wheels are stock 16 inch and it comes with three original hubcaps and even the spare tire and spare fender mounting rack. I have loaded as many pictures as eBay allows me to (24 in all) to assist you in deciding if this truck is right for your plans. Missing engine and transmission. Someone removed the steering box but we have loaded, unloaded and moved this truck around the shop by adjusting the wheels by hand while we move the vehicle wherever we need it to be. The vin plate is in place, is clearly marked with its serial number and has never been damaged in any way. Truck comes with a clear Washington state title. It is NOT a salvage or reconstructed title. If you have any questions please email us and we will find the answers for you as fast as possible. $500 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit required within 48 hours of close of auction. Full payment required within 7 days of auction's close. Winning bidder must arrange shipping but we will assist with loading the vehicle at time of pick up of this truck. Vehicle is sold as is, where is with no warranty either expressed or implied. Good luck on the bidding!!

GM files to trademark name Badlands
Mon, Feb 23 2015If you've been hoping for General Motors to come out swinging at the Ford F-150 Raptor, we've had some tantalizing news for you of late. Last month we brought you a report that indicated GM has trademarked the name "Z71 Trail Boss," suggesting a potential hardcore off-roader. Now it seems the General has filed for a potentially even better name. That name, as our friends over at GM Authority have discovered, is "Badlands." The application, filed on February 16, indicates that it's for a truck, but of course it doesn't specify just what form it would take... or for that matter, under which division it would fall. So we could, in theory, be looking at the nameplate for a Raptor rival from Chevy or GMC (like the 2011 Sierra All Terrain HD concept pictured here), or for some other trim level, a concept truck, a special edition... just about anything. Heck, it could be for a Vauxhall, Opel or Holden for all we know at this point. Or GM could choose not to use it on anything at all, but here's hoping it'll emerge as something awesome in US showrooms sometime soon.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.
Here's why automakers roll out those Texas-themed pickup trucks
Thu, Sep 29 2016Every year, automakers with a full-size truck link make a big show of the Texas State Fair, usually involving a reveal of a new model. Sometimes they show a whole new truck, and other times a special edition centered on the Lone Star state. While some people might write this off as a quirk of the industry, others might be wondering, "What's the big deal with Texas?" As it turns out, part of the big deal with Texas is big truck sales. According to Dave Sullivan, product analysis manager at AutoPacific, Texas buys more trucks than any other state in the country. It's not a small margin either. Edmunds.com, one in five trucks sold in the US are sold in Texas. The state also accounts for 15 percent of the country's large truck sales, which is more than twice that of California, the second largest truck market in America. Even when you break down sales only in Texas, trucks are a huge piece of the pie - Sullivan says that a quarter of new vehicle sales in Texas are trucks. One in five trucks sold in the US are sold in Texas. But it's not just sales that make truck builders give attention to Texas. As Sullivan explained, "Pickups are life in Texas." Both he and Hugh Milne, marketing and advertising manager for the Chevy Silverado line, said that trucks are key fixtures in Texas society, as both work trucks and luxury vehicles (or Texas Cadillacs as Milne called them). Milne said Texas is so important in the truck market that if you want to be successful in the rest of the country, "you've got to be successful in Texas." As for the State Fair, it has become a prime location for reveals in part because of the importance of the Texas market and because of how big the fair is. Milne also revealed that the State Fair also hosts its own auto show, so it's an ideal venue for a vehicle introduction. So there you have it. Why do truck builders obsess over Texas? It's because Texas obsesses over trucks. When you have one market that loves your product that much, you give it the attention it deserves.
