You are looking at a 1951 Chevy pickup It has great patina and the truck is very solid with no bondo at all, The truck has some minor dings but there are no rust holes just even patina and none of the patina was created it has taken 60 yrs to look like this. This truck has a complete subframe up front with disc brakes, it has all new brake lines including the distribution block by the master cylinder. this truck will stop on a dime. For drivetrain it has a perfect running 350 Chevy engine attached to a turbo 350 which has the shifter on the column so I did not interrupt leg room with floor shifter. There is also a transmission cooler in the front of the truck near the electric fan. The rear end is a chevy 10 bolt 342 gear his truck runs beautiful down the highway, his truck has new Dual exuast with flow masters running back and then dump out in front of the rear tires, Me and my buddy drove this truck from Charlotte Mi. to North of Chicago to the Iron Invasion Car show this fall 6hrs one way I never had one issue ad we fit right in with traffic. The wheels and tires were brand new in June of this year and I probally drove the truck 1000 miles, the wheels are 15x6 and 15x7 in the back and the tires are BF Goodrich Silvertowns direct from Coker.The inside of the truck has been completely dynamatted and I had tan carpet installed The seat is out of a 90's Chevy pickup it fits perfect and it gives you a lot more leg room, The gas tank has been removed from the cab and a gas tank has been installed under the bed with a flip down License plate bracket over the filler neck. All the gauges work other than the amp meter gauge (I cant stand dolphin gauges in an old pickup). The dome light works, The wipers work and the blower fan works with new duct work for the windshield defoggers All the windows roll up and down, the drivers side window has a crack in it.the side vent and the vent up by the hood both open and shut as well. this truck has a complete new wiring harness including headlights parking lights taillights dome light cd player blower fan engine bay, all the wires were ran very neatly.The one thing I really like about the interior is the doors and dash are not all cut apart and it is super clean with beautiful even patina that is not home made. This truck has also had a brand new oak wood bed kit from Bed Woods that has been stained to an original oak patina with a satin finish. This Truck truly runs and rides like a dream if you have any Questions feel free to email me or call me at 1 517 231 1377 any time and enjoy the pics.The Marathon station was on the way to the Iron Invasion Some where near Chicago.The truck currently has my logo on the door but it would come off pretty easy or could be left on
On Dec-13-13 at 21:37:13 PST, seller added the following information: I forgot to mention a few things It does have a brand new pioneer CD player and 2 pioneer 3 way speakers in custom carpeted boxes behind the seat, It has has had a new headliner installed as well. I do notice the engine looks kind of grubby and I could easily clean up the engine bay and throw on some aluminum finned valve covers and finned air cleaner but I wanted the engine to fit in with the era. This truck also has Power Steering and Power Brakes. Thanks again Guys..... |

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
