You are looking at a 1946 Chevrolet short box pickup. VIN 5CK Q5 2371 Please note that the mileage is unknown and is exempt on the title. This is the crem de le crem of these trucks. You cant find too many of these anymore in this shape and having a current title. I purchased this truck from an older gentleman who had driven it to school. It had been in his family for a few generations, but has been sitting for several years since. From what the vin buster on stovebolt tells me, this is a interim model built in Kansas City and has a 115'' wheelbase. Just take a close look at the pictures as this truck speaks for itself. As you can see, there is a large dent on the roof, the wiper motor panel is rusted out as is the upper grille / radiator baffle and some slight rust thru in the beltline. But look at all the positive aspects this truck is offering. That custom spinner knob! Artillery wheels on the back! And the pictures were taken just after I washed the grime off so you could see what it would look like if you just clear coated it as it sits. The floor of the bed has had a steel floor welded into it, but the wood floor remains below. The doors and windows all operate and the key is in the ignition. This is a very solid and mostly complete truck. Sure it has some damage, but nothing that can't be worked out, or leave it as it is and rat rod it. This truck has lots of patina that you just cant find everywhere. This truck does not run, but will roll onto a trailer. I can assist with loading this onto your trailer. I will not ship this truck, but will work with your shipper at my convenience. I may however deliver this up to 200 miles from zip code 68330 for the right price. If you are the winning bidder on this auction and only want parts, that is fine also, but you will pay the final bid. Come take what you want, and I will dispose of the rest. This truck will need to be picked up within 6 months of the auction end, unless other arrangements are made. A $200.00 non refundable paypal deposit will be required within 48 hours of the auction end, with the remaining balance due before pickup, or cash at time of pick up. (the longest eBay option is 14 days) Please ask me any questions you have and I will try to get you the best possible answer. This truck will come with a bill of sale and a title that is clean, clear and current in my name. This truck is selling as is in a no reserve auction. If you are in the area and would like to look at this before you bid please get ahold of me and we can set something up. Please contact me if you are a 5 or less before you bid so I know that you understand the details of this listing. Thanks for looking and please email me for more info or pictures. I am also listing several items that could be used in a 41-46 truck build, so please check out my other listings and see what else you could pick up at the same time. I may also have other parts to sell when you come get this truck.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers
Fri, 11 Apr 2014
Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
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.
