1950 Chevrolet 3600 Flat Bed Customized Truck on 2040-cars

Year:1950 Mileage:22 Color: colors

Shawnee, Kansas, United States

Shawnee, Kansas, United States

1950 Chevrolet 3600 flat bed custom truck with 22 miles since restoration.  A custom bed has been fabricated from steel tubing and solid oak cabinet grade lumber.  The results of this custom bed combined with the vintage cab and front sheet metal make a very unique truck with a lot of attitude.  The drive train is a combination of new and old while the vintage appearance has been retained.
Engine/engine compartment:  The engine is a 350 Chevy motor out of a 1978 Corvette with many chrome accessories.
Chassis:  The rear end is from a newer one-ton with drum brakes and dual wheels.  A remote brake booster is frame mounted.  All six wheels are from a later model Chevy one-ton truck.  All six tires are new Uniroyal Laredo P225/70RX16 radials with raised outline lettering.  The transmission is a toploader 4 speed with a granny low gear.  The shifter has been shortened to add a custom touch to the truck.  The entire underneath of the truck has been painted semi-gloss black.  
Interior:  The interior matches the exterior colors.  Many up-to-date accessories have been added to the interior such as: new gauges, turn signals, custom wood console, custom oak door panels, clock, 12 volt electric fan, vintage compass with custom stand, prism, and Pioneer AM-FM-CD stereo radio with dual custom speakers that functions from a remote control module.  New black steering wheel.  The seat has been custom upholstered to match the exterior.  The skirting is black and the seating areas are green.  A custom pattern and new foam was used to reconstruct the seat.  Black plush carpet has been installed.  The headliner is black and is a reproduction of the original.  New black sun visors.  The original AM pushbutton radio has been painted green to match.  The Pioneer stereo is custom fitted to a special console that extends from the center of the dash.  Seat belts were installed for safety.
Exterior:  The exterior of the truck has a lot of bling and lights.  When the lights are on at night, this truck will illuminate like a Christmas tree.  The four taillight assemblies are mid 1930's with blue dots.  The hood has a rare center hood ornament with a flying bird.  Chrome imitation louvers are attached in a strategic pattern giving the effects of a louvered hood.  A vintage sun visor similar to the Fenton design was installed.  All of the glass was replaced with gray safety glass.  The two piece windshield was "V" butted which eliminates the center division bar.  The rear window has a slider that opens for fresh air and ventilation.  The running boards have been custom fabricated from wood and steel.  Lake pipes have been installed giving the truck a mid 60's custom appearance...but are not functional.  New outside door handles and chrome mirrors add bright accessories to the exterior.  The headlights have aftermarket gravel protectors and eyebrow covers.  The chrome grill is new as well as the front and rear chrome bumpers.  Stainless steel side glass and wing window glass deflectors add to the exterior bling.  
A custom dually bed was fabricated.  The headache rack was built using mandrel bent tubing and has a high level third brake light mounted in the center with a blue dot to match the taillight lenses.  A pair of back-up lights were installed and also have blue dots.  A storage compartment with two stainless steel latches that lock was installed in the center of the bed, just behind the lighted license plate recess.  All of the oak lumber is cabinet grade and the wood has been stained with a green tint.  Clear urethane provides a satin finish.  Bed rails were fabricated from oak as well.
Very unique design and two tone application.  The cab, doors and hood are green.  The front fenders, rear fenders and sides of the bed are black.  Green accents are used around the entire bed and bed floor for color harmony with the cab colors.  
Inspections and appraisals must be completed prior to bidding.  Please ask any questions before bidding as all sales are as is and final.   If you need any more pictures I would be happy to take them for you.  Delivery for a fee is an option.  $500 non-refundable deposit to PayPal is due within 24 hours.  Full payment by bank wire transfer within 5-7 days. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time as the truck is advertised on other sites and locally.  Serious buyers are welcome to come look at the truck in person.  Thank you, Jerry -- 816-835-1572 -- barger55@swbell.net

The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.

2014 Chevy Silverado High Country spied wearing trappings of new luxury trim

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

Spy photographers have spotted the new Chevrolet Silverado High Country and GMC Sierra Denali out on public streets for a little testing. From the looks of things, the Silverado will receive a much-differentiated front fascia along with special badges and those honking 20-inch chrome wheels. Expect to find a more posh interior as well. Likewise, the Sierra Denali will wear a tweaked nose with the familiar Denali bling. The one of the GMC trucks spotted here rolls on 21-inch gunmetal wheels instead of the 20-inch chrome pieces of the High Country.
Word has it both trucks will go on sale after the Texas State Fair this summer. While General Motors hasn't said for certain what we can expect to find under the hood, we'd be surprised to see anything outside of the range of engines found in the standard Silverado and Sierra models. That means buyers should be able to get their hands on the efficient, 23-miles per gallon 5.3-liter V8.

GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.
