Up for sale is my 1951 Chevrolet Pickup, 3100 half ton, with small block Chevrolet coupled to a 4 speed manual transmission with air conditioning that works! Runs and drives absolutely fantastically!! It is a really fun truck to drive! Must see the video to see how well it drives in all 4 speeds. Mustang 2 front end with disc brakes and rack and pinion steering. No understeer or oversteer. Car drives straight going down the road at 60 mph! Brakes stop the car on a dime and pull "straight". Transmission shifts well in all 4 forward gears (as well as reverse) and quickly gets up to highway speeds. All synchros are excellent, clutch is excellent with no clutch chatter nor anything of the sort. Excellent oil pressure running at 40-60 lbs the whole time, Starts with a quick turn of the ignition switch everytime, runs cool, does not overheat, headers with very mild exhaust mufflers, can be driven all day with no problems. 12 Volt conversion, truck charges well and holds a charge as seen by the amp gauge. Oil pressure, gas gauge, amp meter, speedometer, tach all work, radio works nicely. Low and high beam headlights, turn signals, running lights, reverse lights, dash lights all work. Horn and wipers currently not working. Boxed frame up front with coilovers, well done installation as shown by the quality of drive, mechanically excellent, very strong. No strange noises, no rattles, just a very strong mechanical truck where all of the hard work has been done and done correctly. These are modifications which were done some time ago and have been proven to be correctly done over time by the way the truck continues to drive so well and so straight. You are more than welcome to come and drive it and see for yourself. We have placed a video here so that you can see how it runs through the gears going down the road at highway speeds. The air conditioning works and blows cold air inside the cabin of the truck. Tires are near new and have full tread. Wheels are fresh with new hubcaps.
The truck was restored some years ago and now it is beginning to show some age on the previous restoration. You can see by the pictures that the truck sat outside after it was restored and has some rust peaking through the older paint job. I have crawled all over it and the floors are excellent, super solid. Looks as though cab corners were fixed with metal and these are solid as well. Doors close perfectly and gaps on the doors and hood are excellent when closed. Doors close well and hit the latch well. There is no door sag and the truck never appears to have been in an accident. What needs to be done are cosmetics. This includes the wood for the bed and a repaint of the truck. The doors are incredibly straight, door bottoms look good and the truck will not require a lot of dent repair. As you look down the side of the body, it is very straight in its reflection. The bed panels are very straight and will require little if any body work. Chrome is presentable, with some fading on the upper two chrome bars of the grill. Bumpers look good. If you currently look online you will see nicely done examples in the $25000 to $30000 range. This truck is not that far away from that. I like the fact that it is a 4 speed manual transmission and that the truck retains its original steering column and steering wheel. I have seen some modified trucks where late model additions were not tastefully done. This preserves the "original" feel of the truck while having late model running gear and air conditioning. It is a super fun truck to drive!
Here is a video of the truck:
We have also posted quite a few pictures here:

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
