1948 Chevy **bare Metal Patina - Ratrod - Rustomod - Hotrod** Truck on 2040-cars
Morrison, Tennessee, United States
|
Up for auction is a *MUST SEE* 1948 CHEVY TRUCK! This running/driving, unique bare metal truck is sure to turn heads! The exterior has been stripped and cleared, and the brand new all chrome grille helps give it that "IN YOUR FACE" attitude! Body does show its 66 years of being an American workhorse, but it only adds to the style and character of the truck, so I chose to leave it as is. I am wanting to be as honest and upfront as I can, so pictures of what some might consider exterior "flaws", are included in the listing. The body has been lowered and is setting on an S-10 frame, with disc brakes and power steering. The bed has been narrowed to fit the chassis, and the wooden plank floor has been raised and notched to clear the custom 1969 beer keg fuel tank. The front floor pans have been replaced, and the transmission tunnel was fabbed up. The side vents were welded up, and the door handles shaved with new Bear Claw latches installed. The engine is a stock 350 with aluminum intake and a new 600 CFM Edelbrock carb. It is cooled with an aluminum radiator and electric fan. The exhaust is handled by Hedman Husler fender well headers, dumping through 2.5" straight pipes. The transmission is a newly rebuilt 350 with Lokar shifter. Brand new (uninstalled) hood hinges are included as well (see pic). The interior of the truck is red with new Shark gauges, new wiring harness, new electric wipers, and new windshields and back glass with new rubber. All lights and gauges work great. Wheels are Weld Drag Star - 15x3.5 front - 15x8 rear, with 28x11.50/15 Mickey Thompson ET Street rear tires. The tires have about 50% tread left on the rear and 80% on front. The truck has that "old school" ratrod look and feel and runs and drives great! If you like getting attention and the "thumbs up" sign when driving down the road, then this is the truck for you!!!! IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU ARE UNSURE OF OR HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT, PLEASE ASK PRIOR TO BIDDING! MORE PICTURES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. TRUCK IS FOR SALE LOCALLY, SO SELLER RESERVES THE RIGHT TO END AUCTION EARLY. On Jul-12-14 at 20:05:58 PDT, seller added the following information: As requested, I have uploaded a few more pictures. |

Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own
Tue, 22 Jan 2013It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.
Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
