For Sale is a 1954 Chevy truck I am selling for my girlfriend. Unfortunately it was her late husband's truck and a lot of the details have been lost with him. I have drove and inspected the truck and the following description is based on my knowledge and expertise in the automotive business.
The truck is originally from the south, very rust free.The body and paint work is about 10 years old and is very straight and shows well. Not perfect by any means but a very nice driver restoration. The frame was sandblasted and painted black. The truck has a front cross member and suspension from a late 50's or early 60's car. Coil springs and drum brakes with a manual steering gear. The motor is a 235 6 cylinder. Rebuilt carb and a recent tune-up. May be original? Not sure without checking numbers. Runs pretty well but struggles to exceed 45 mph. The transmission is a Saginaw 4 speed that is probably out of a Vega or Monza based on the shifter. The rear axle is a 10 bolt that looks to be out of a 70's car. All of the exterior chrome has been painted body color. Windshield is new as well as most of the seals and gaskets have also been replaced. The seat is out of a Toyota and sets a little low for my tastes but looks good in the truck. The braking system is still the original style manual 4 wheel drum brakes. The bed is the original wood for the truck, just refinished.
I will try to answer the questions you have the best I can. The truck is being sold because it is to painful for her to see and have around otherwise I would be keeping it. This is a must see truck, that with a few drive train and suspension upgrades would be a very nice truck.

Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
2014 Chevy Silverado High Country spied wearing trappings of new luxury trim
Wed, 03 Apr 2013Spy 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.
UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
