1950 Chevy 3100 Pickup Project Truck 5 Window on 2040-cars
Madison, Ohio, United States
|
I'm selling this truck because I just had my first child and no longer have the funds to finish the project. My loss can be your gain. I removed original motor and drive train. The body of the
truck has been removed from the frame. The cab that was on the truck when I bought it was in very poor condition (it is the blue cab in the pictures). The truck did have front fenders when I purchased it but they were from a 1954 truck and also in very poor condition (which I still have and are included also). I boxed in the rear half of the frame because my intent was to install a big block into this truck. The rear axle I replaced with a 12 bolt rear end from a 1969 pickup
and 3" lowering blocks installed, all bushings, pins and shackles
replaced on rear leaf springs and new shocks installed, rear drum brakes
have been rebuilt. The original motor mount and transmission cross
member removed (new Chevy big block engine mount and transmission cross
member already purchased but not installed). The original front axle has
been replaced with a 4" drop axle. Front leaf spring bushings, pins and
shackles replaced as well as new shocks and shock mounts. New kingpins installed in axle
and bearings have been upgraded to roller bearings. Full disc brake
conversion kit installed. Frame and leaf springs have been painted with
POR15. I also have a second cab which is on the truck now ( I have all the patch panel for it minus the rear cab corners). I also have a set of rear fenders, seat frame, tail gate,
hood and 2 sets of doors. I have other new parts not installed on the
truck to include, brand new still in box bolt in brake booster, floor pans, patch panels, cab mount kit, brand new fiberglass running
boards, and other odds/ends small parts that are not pictured. I also have the original speedometer, heater box, radiator, all the glass minus 1 half of the windshield, hood emblems, front bumper, inner fenders, core support, misc door parts. Truck is stored in doors in Madison, Ohio. Has a clear title and the original metal door plate. If you have any questions please call Bob at 440-251-9018.

GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?
