1949 Chevy Rat Rod truck with chopped top,fabricated steel short bed with 1 1/2" rough cedar flooring.Truck has 1956 Ford truck fenders on the bed,the fenders have been switched,so the right rear Ford fender is on the left rear side of the bed and left side was put on the right side of bed.So the Ford rear fenders were put on this bed on opposite sides to get this look.This body is sitting on a S-10 frame and suspension with a set of 21" rims. Front tires have under 2,000 miles and rear tires have under 200 miles.Truck does have all the glass in it and side windows roll up and down.Glass is all good ,except driver door glass is cracked,but gives the truck good character. Powered by (I was told) a 1978 Corvette 350 motor and 350 transmission with under 5,000 miles since being gone through.Does have power steering and power brakes,Chevy Silverado buckets seats with self contained seat belts and center fold down arm rest,cowhide headliner.Radio is not working,but does have 2 amps and a large speaker box.
Truck has recently passed a Missouri State Inspection and I am currently driving this truck now.It has been on the road for about 1 1/2 years and drives like a S-10.It has been driven 400 miles in a day at 70-75 mph,so there is no problem driving this truck home.There are dents in the front fenders,but only a small rust through area in front of passenger door on botton cab as picture shows.It is a rat rod not a SHOW TRUCK,so what you see is what you get.If you have any questions email me your question or phone number and I will get back to you ASAP.This truck always gets alot of attention and everytime you drive it people will want to take pictures and talk about what you have done to it.It is titled as a 1949 Chevy truck and I have title in hand.The passing gear cable will need to be replaced,since it got against the exhaust the other day,Truck still runs fine,but does not have a working passing gear at this time.but as I said it still drives and runs fine,just no kickdown power when you floor it..

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
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.
GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
