1956 CHEVROLET PICKUP / 3100 SERIES


BEAUTIFUL TRUCK ...JUST TO DRIVE, OR CONTINUE VERY MINOR, REMAINING RESTORATION!!

THE INTERIOR , EXTERIOR and WOOD BED, WERE ALL RESTORED ABOUT 6-7 YEARS AGO!

THE TIRES AND RIMS ARE LIKE NEW!

This is a STOCK vehicle except the 6cyl was replaced with a350 V-8, 4 barrel carb., dual exhaust and wheels and rims. Whoever did the change over did an excellent job.


I Purchased this truck just two years ago, on "e-bay", and have had  the following repairs done by local "Certified" Mechanics:  "REBUILT TRANSMISSION", Rebuild and Re-Wire Starter, Replace Valve Seals, check over clutch assembly, check and re-pack front wheel bearings, and check all brake pads.

When I purchased this truck, I was told that everything worked except the horn! When it was delivered, I found that it would not shift from gear to gear without major "GRINDING"....I took it to a mechanic, who specializes in older transmission, and had it rebuilt. He indicated whoever had worked on it, forgot to put the "snap rings" back in place when they assembled the Transmission! I REPLACED ALL BEARINGS and checked all gears and of course had the snap rings installed! The clutch assembly was also checked at this time and was in "very good" condition. The truck, also had a major problem with valve seals, which I had both banks replaced. The starter had problems as well, and needed to be re-wired due to "black electrical tape" type of connections. "Front Wheel Bearings" were checked and re-packed, all brake shoes were checked , and are in good condition. OVER ALL CONDITION OF THIS VEHICLE IS EXCELLENT, IN MY OPINION.

The only two things that do not work are the horn and the radio. The radio is not original, but I do have the "original Radio Blank" insert included. There are a few additional minor repairs that I would do if I was to keep this. The doors need to be re-keyed (the keys that I received with the truck fit the ignition and glove box, but not the doors. The heater (which I have never used) should really have the cable assembly , and fan switch replaced or repaired, someone just put an external toggle switch on the fan.

UNLIKE THE PERSON THAT I PURCHASED THIS FROM, I HAVE DISCLOSED ALL PROBLEMS, AND OR REPAIRS THAT YOU MAY CHOOSE TO DO!! This truck runs great and is fun to drive, now that I have fixed these items! 

 THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE WITH IT, IS I FEEL AS THOUGH  I AM IN A PARADE WHENEVER I TAKE IT OUT FOR A DRIVE!   IT IS REALLY, A VERY, VERY BEAUTIFUL TRUCK, AND ATTRACTS A  LOT OF ATTENTION!  The only reason I am selling it is, I just don't have room to store it at my home, and that makes it seldom used. I have 4 other vehicles and have to sell at least one!! This truck wants to be driven!!!

THERE ARE NO "DENTS  OR SCRATCHES" OF ANY KIND ON THIS TRUCK!!!

The ODOMETER READS 35,168 .......I HAVE NO IDEA WHETHER THIS IS ACCURATE.


This truck has only been driven about 60-70 miles by me. I have stored this inside a warehouse / covered the past two winters.

2016 Chevy Camaro to drop 200 pounds

Mon, Mar 30 2015

The sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro makes its grand debut on May 16 at a big celebration on Detroit's Belle Isle. Until then, Chevy's strategy seems to be showing off the pony car's new components piece by piece. With the exhaust headers and front end already on display, the Bowtie is now giving a glimpse at some of the upcoming model's aluminum components. The Camaro is going on a diet for its latest generation, and Chevy claims that the switch to the Alpha platform and other new components shed over 200 pounds compared to the current model. That will put the pony car at around 3,500 pounds. The lower weight will contributes to better fuel economy, quicker acceleration and more direct handling, according to the automaker. Among the changes are aluminum front and rear suspension assemblies (pictured above) that weigh 21 percent less than the current units. Also, Chevy promises in its announcement "links on some models feature an intricate, structurally optimized design made with a rigid composite material that's even lighter than aluminum." In addition to these improved parts, the Camaro uses the lightweight metal for the beam that supports the instrument panel to save 9.7 pounds more. The only two pieces reportedly carrying over to the latest design are Chevy's bowtie and SS badges, and at least one engine in the range is known to be a version of the 6.2-liter LT1 V8. With over a month until the next Camaro's debut, we might get a glimpse of even more of the car's new parts in the coming weeks.

To meet all three objectives, the team focused on a singular mission: reduce mass. By obsessively searching for opportunities to save ounces, the team pared more than 200 pounds off the Camaro compared with the fifth-generation model. As a result, the Camaro does more with less, according to Al Oppenheiser, Camaro chief engineer: "We kept the cornering confidence and control that make the Gen 5 Camaro 1LE so fun to drive, and added a greater sense of agility," he said. "The new Camaro brakes harder, flicks into corners more quickly, and drives out of the corner faster.

Cars with the most reckless drivers are full of surprises

Wed, Oct 13 2021

Insurify is a site for comparing auto insurance quotes. Because insurance shoppers need to submit information like the vehicles they're driving and the infractions they've compiled while driving those vehicles, Insurify has quite the database of correlations tying certain models to a habit of breaking certain laws. When the site's data analysts decided to compile a list of the top ten models for reckless driving citations in the decade from 2010 to 2019, the ranking contained a few wild entries. The Dodge Challenger making the countdown will surprise precisely zero people. But the Saturn L200? First, a definition: USLegal.com defines reckless driving as "driving with a willful or wanton disregard for safety. It is the operation of an automobile under such circumstances and in such a manner as to show a willful or reckless disregard of consequences." So this list is a caution about particular drivers more than the cars. For a baseline, according to Insurify data, for any random model, 15 out of 10,000 people who drive that model have picked up one citation for reckless driving. Back to that Challenger, then. No shocker for being here, but it's actually number 10, with 44 out of 10,000 Challenger drivers nabbed for a willful disregard of consequences on the road. That's better than the first surprise entry, the Saturn L200, a sedan only on sale for six years, with the least horsepower on the list, and out of production since 2005. The data set put drivers of GM's extraterrestrial sedan at 45 reckless pilots per 10,000 drivers. There are two pickups on the list, the only modern one being the Ram 1500 at eighth, with a rate of 46 in 10,000. Somehow, drivers of the third-best-selling pickup in the U.S. outrun the overwhelming numerical superiority of the best-selling vehicle in the States, the Ford F-150. The other pickup is the Chevrolet K1500 at number five, with a rate of 56 in 10,000. This is not only the oldest vehicle on the list, it went out of production in 2002, before any other vehicle on the list. Between the trucks, the Volkswagen CC slotted in at seven with 47 in 10,000 reckless driving chits, the Cadillac ATS slipped into sixth with 48 in 10,000.  The top four is a bag of unexpected. The Nissan 370Z is the first hardcore sports car on the list at number four, with 61 in 10,000 Z drivers flaunting their Fairladys in the face of Johnny Law.

GM, UAW poaching Nissan workers in Tennessee

Tue, Sep 8 2015

General Motors and the United Auto Workers are going on a recruitment drive at the Spring Hill factory in Tennessee, and they're hoping to poach some skilled workers from Nissan's nearby plant in Smyrna, TN. The General and the union even bought a billboard advertising for industrial electricians near the Japanese automaker's facility, according to the Daily News Journal. The reason for the billboard was simple. "GM was short of electricians," said Tim Stannard, the president of the UAW local at Spring Hill, to the Daily News Journal. The factory currently builds the Chevrolet Equinox but has a contract to assemble the next generation of Ecotec engines and the Cadillac XT5, which replaces the SRX. Thanks to the $185-million deal, employment there is expected to double by May 2016, according to Stannard, with roughly 1,800 additional union jobs. Beyond just several billboards, GM has job postings online for the Spring Hill plant looking for workers with specific skills. There has already been some interest in the positions among Nissan employees, Stannard indicated. According to a recent study by the Center for Automotive Research, the average GM worker currently makes $58 an hour, including benefits. Comparatively, Nissan pays an average of $42 an hour with benefits. The General's number could change in the coming weeks because its contract with the UAW is about to expire, and higher wages are among the major negotiating points.
