1949 Chevy Suburban Carryall Clam Shell 3100 Half Ton. Advance Design Barn Find. on 2040-cars
Fulks Run, Virginia, United States
|
This is a 1949 Chevy Suburban Carryall with the Clamshell rear doors. I've had it for a while, but haven't done much to it. I have a couple other project vehicles ahead of this one, so it's time to go. The previous owner had it since 1956. The engine runs fine with no strange noises. The oil looks fine with no water, sludge, or condensation in it. The emergency brakes work, but the rest of the brake system needs to be rebuilt. The truck has rust and spots of bondo here and there, but is pretty solid overall for an eastern truck. The previous owner welded sheet metal on the floor boards. The rear floor is not rotted through anywhere, which is rare for this area. Some of the "Battleship" Linolium in the rear is still in place. The truck has a 6 cyl. engine and a granny 4-speed tranny. The tires hold air, but need replacing. There is a modern wheel/tire on the right rear, but there is an original style wheel that goes with the truck to replace it. There is a crack in the drivers side window and one of the drivers side rear sliding windows. The driver and passenger windows roll up and down, but will need work. The passenger side door sags a little when you open it, so it will need hinge work. The original front seat is in the truck and will need complete restoration. The gauges are faded and I'm not sure if any of them work. The cable retractor on the drivers side tailgate needs help to retract, but the other side works fine. The upper hinges on the clamshell will need some work, but it opens and closes fine. This truck does NOT have either of the rear passenger seats included. I have the clear Virginia Title in hand. Most of these trucks I've had in the past were titled by the VIN on the engine, which is bad if the truck had an engine swap. This truck is titled by the VIN on the data plate, which shows it to be a half-ton 3100, built in September 1949. This truck is fairly rough, but would make a great project. You can't fake patina like this. Please ask any questions you have before bidding on this truck. I will tell you the complete truth and not misrepresent it in any way. The truck rolls easily and I will help load for you, or the shipper. This auction may be ended at any time, if the truck sells locally.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506
Thu, 02 May 2013With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
