Thanks for taking a look at our listing.
For auction is this 1959 chevrolet Viking 40 truck. This is a 1 owner truck that has been kept in dry storage its entire life ! The truck has been out of service and stored in a closed machinery shed for many years so minor attention due to long term storage will be needed.
Vin number matches the title and and we have the original title issued in 1959 for this truck.
Vin number is 4B59K-128512
Truck has 2 speed rear end but cable on shifter lever is a little sticky and may need to be replaced due to age.
Mileage shows 89,959 but not sure if that is exact mileage.
This truck is in really great condition for its age and many people have commented on how solid and clean this truck is. Windshield is in great condition and 1 side door glass is cracked but all other glass looks good. Dash looks excellent and original ignition works great and so does starter button.
The engine was upgraded to a 292 chevy engine with low hours and it runs. Currently we have the engine running on a small tank with fresh gas and a new fuel filter and it fires right up and runs smooth.
The factory gas tank will need to be flushed out and The rochester carburetor needs to be cleaned but motor runs great.
Transmission shifts into gears and truck rolls good. Most of the Tires are in great condition and a few have minor wear. All of them hold air and are ready to use.
Cab floors are very solid even under the floor mat because this truck was not exposed to the elements or snow or moisture so the cab is super solid.
Front fenders do have some small rust holes on the lower corners because of some gravel/dirt that got trapped in that area.
Cab has a few small dings and hood has a few small dings but nothing major. 1 LH hood hinge has a few worn teeth on hinge.
Doors open and close nice and snug just like they were new. Bottoms of doors have a few tiny rust holes on the lower inside corners.
Hoist moves up and down and grain box is in really great condition for the age. Truck does not have working brakes at this time and will need some light brake servicing prior to using. Pedal is not stuck but seals in master cylinder are probably in need of replacement due to sitting.
Mirror brackets need to be taken off and replaced with fresh mirrors.
Really nice original 1 owner 1959 Chevy !

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
