1949 Chevrolet Pickup - Loadmaster - Dump Truck - Barn Find- Stovebolt on 2040-cars
Townsend, Massachusetts, United States
|
Fresh from the barn! Not to much is known about this truck. It was part of an estate sale. The truck does not come with any paperwork and I'm not sure where the vin tag is. It was said at the sale that the truck was stored inside since the 70's and has not been registered since 1959 (see attached Mass plate obviously not just bolted on). It appears that all of the parts are correct tor the year. Guessing on the year as a matter of fact.Take a look at the engine compartment. Looks bone stock to me. Foot operated starter linkage still intact. The dump body parts are all still intact and appear to be in working order. Looks like it has a PTO of the transfer case and a two speed rear end. Most of the interior parts are there. Heater box, gauges, seat, keys etc. Needs a seat cover, head liner etc. Typical cab and door rust. Nothing some old street signs couldn't fix in my opinion. Truck had some spare glass and two spare wheels in the dump body. Looks like a time capsule. Check out the vintage home made mud flaps and custom toolbox in the dump body sides. I have not tried to start it or turn it over. I think it would best be left to someone who wants to take care and not rush the procedure and possibly damage things. Looks like antifreeze is in the top of the motor and there is oil on the dipstick. We hooked up a battery to check to see what worked. lights turn on very bright and horn works. The rest is up to you. I'm selling this truck for parts only. To be clear, I do not know if this truck runs.It does appear that it could be made to run and drive with some work. How many loadmaster dump trucks 95% intact have you seen? I had to save this truck. It just plain looks cool. I wanted to put a flag pole on it and display it in the yard for now until I could find time to finish but the boss wants it to go. Already have a 1948 3100 hotrod project. |

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.
2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers
Fri, 11 Apr 2014
Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
