     Up for auction is a 1953 Chevrolet Pickup. I purchased the truck from the man who done the frame modifications, lowered the body and installed the modern drive train. I will tell you every thing I was told when I bought the truck. The front sub frame is from a early 70s Camaro the rear frame was notched and the 10 bolt rear end out of the same Camaro was installed. Drop spindles were used to lower the truck. The engine is a 350 out of a early 70s pickup it has a four bolt main with late model heads, aluminum intake four barrel carb, 12 volt, electronic ignition and power steering. Engine starts and runs great, does not smoke or burn oil. It does have a small leak around rear main. Transmission is a 400 turbo that shifts smooth and stout no problems here at all. No problems leaks or noises from the rear end. Stopping power is provided by front power disk brakes and rear drums, they work great and do not pull when applied. Now for the body and interior. The previous owner wanted a patina look and sprayed black, grey and white paint randomly all over the truck. The front and rear fenders have the seams filled and are molded to the body. There is some rust on the bottom inside of both doors, there has been some repairs where bondo is present that need finished, cab corners have been repaired and look decent. You can tell the body work was done by amateurs. Looks good for a Rat Rod driver. Interior is decent it has power bucket seats installed ( I also have a 60 40 split power bench seat that comes with it out of a Buick Lesabre. Pictured ) Dash, door panels, and headliner ok. Has had some floor repair but feels solid. Instruments are original 6 volt and do not work, spedo works but is not accurate, has heat blower works , late model tilt steering wheel, all glass is good windows roll up and down good. All lights and signals work, wipers work. When it comes to driving it goes straight down the highway, you can be going 70 mph let go of the steering wheel and it will stay there, you do not have to fight the wheel when driving you can steer with a couple fingers. Apply the brake at 70 mph and it will not jerk you off the road it will make a clean straight stop. Chrome wheels look good and tires are much better than half tread. Rides like a hot rod not a Cadillac. Come take a drive it will surprise you. I have tried to describe the truck as well as possible with out making it look better than it is or worse than what it is. Myself I am a total skeptic and would not buy any USED vehicle with out first taking a look and a test drive, or at least have some one I trust come and inspect the vehicle for me. If you are looking for a driver or want a good start on a show truck this is it. May consider a trade up or down for a GM muscle car 1950 to 1970  ( no trucks ) Cadillac convertible or late model SUV. No motorcycles, 3 wheelers, 4 wheelers, skateboards, or any type of water craft no lawn mowers, snow blowers or bicycles. Send me a message with what you have. Thanks for looking and good luck finding the truck for you.

2020 Chevy and GMC HD truck spy shots reveal LED lighting

Mon, Aug 20 2018

With Chevy and GMC's 1500 series pickups just starting to roll into dealerships, our attention naturally turns to the Heavy Duty 2500 and 3500 series trucks. We've seen these HD trucks testing already, but thes latest spy photos give us our first good glimpse of the two HD trucks' headlights through some translucent camouflage, and their designs appear very interesting and quite different from each other. The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD looks to be getting a striking set of LED lights that flank the grille. A previously released teaser image of the truck shows that the front lighting elements are split by a bulky wing that branches out from a big, upright chrome face, and both top and bottom units seem to incorporate LED slashes. If you look closely at the images, you can easily make out the Chevrolet script cut into the grille's top edge. Amidst a bevy of Chevy test trucks was one lone GMC model in a dually configuration, and the Sierra HD also appears to have some LED accent lighting up front. Unlike the boomerang-shaped Chevy LEDs, GMC's version sports a shoulder-like right angle of light bars. Assuming these are production-level lighting units, it seems the Sierra HD will stick pretty close to the face of GMC's latest light-duty pickup truck. We're still waiting for confirmation on what range of powertrains will be available in GM's next-gen HD trucks, but we're sure there will be both gasoline- and diesel-burning engines on the ordering sheet. We expect to hear official details on the trucks sometime soon.

Thanks for keeping us on our toes, Detroit Auto Show [w/poll]

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Here at Autoblog, we love unexpected debuts at auto shows – and judging by our Detroit Auto Show comments and traffic, you do, too. Surprise reveals have been fewer and farther between in recent years with so many ways for vehicles to be teased or leak out, but this week's show has been a revelation. More to the point, it's been a series of revelations, with automakers from around the globe successfully delivering a brace of concept and production surprises. It's made our jobs a lot more exciting and challenging this week, and even though it's actually more work to react and run-and-gun when the sheet is pulled on a surprise reveal than it is to publish an already-written embargoed story, we've had more fun covering this show for you than any domestic show in memory. We hope you've enjoyed the surprises along with us. To that end, borrowing the words of an unnamed automaker PR flack, we'd like to thank the following automakers for enduring "mountain of antacids" and that "creeping sense of paranoia" necessary to keeping ones' wares totally under wraps until the sheets are pulled off the sheetmetal: Buick Avenir concept Chevrolet Bolt concept Ford GT concept Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz concept And while we're at it, we'd like to throw in an shout-out to Detroit's substantially revised and revitalized Cobo Center, and in particular, the redone Michelin media center, which is arguably the single best accommodations for writing show stories that we've encountered on the entire international circuit. Well done, everyone. Thank you, and keep the surprises coming. Auto News Detroit Auto Show Buick Chevrolet Ford Hyundai Volvo 2015 Detroit Auto Show

Buick takes top spot in 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study

Tue, Jun 28 2022

People, economies, and supply chains weren't the only things continuing to get sick over the past year. The 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) is out, showing the average rate of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100) during the first 90 days of ownership increased overall. The average figure for the 32 ranked manufacturers in 2020 was about 166 problems per 100 vehicles. In the 2021 IQS, that dropped to an average of 162. This year, the average jumps to 180 problems. J.D. Power says that figure is a record high over the 36-year history of the study. Buick leapt to the top of the rankings this year with the fewest issues, at 139 problems per 100 vehicles in the first 100 days of ownership. After Dodge became the first American automaker to lead the IQS in 2020, followed by Ram in 2021, this year marks a three-peat for U.S. carmakers. Dodge took second this year at 143 PP100, Chevrolet third with 147 PP100, Genesis the first luxury maker on the chart in fourth with 156 PP100. Between February and May, this year's study gathered responses to 223 questions from more than 84,000 new 2022-model-year car owners and lessees. The questions are designed to zero in on real-world problems new owners encounter with nine categories of vehicle features: Infotainment; features, controls and displays; exterior; driving assistance; interior; powertrain; seats; driving experience; and climate. As has been the case in the past few year, infotainment has proved to be the most problematic bugbear making scores worse. Considering features individually, six of 10 of the worst problem areas dealt with infotainment, causing infotainment's score of 45 PP100 to be 19.5 PP100 worse than the second-placed feature. Consumers ranked getting Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to connect reliably as the most troublesome.  GM didn't just score with Buick, which was one of only nine of the 33 ranked brands to show improvement this year. The conglomerate earned first place with the fewest PP100 among all the automaker groups, and scored the most model-level awards with nine, ahead of BMW with eight and Hyundai Group with three.  This year's study again showed a gap between luxury and mass-market makers, thought to be down to the amount of tech in luxury vehicles that consumers aren't properly informed about or that doesn't act as expected — that latter issue exacerbated by the chip shortage.
