Rare 1955 Chevrolet 1/2 ton first series short bed pick-up.
I’m listing this truck for a friend; he drives this truck everyday as his daily driver. 1955 first series are very rare, they have a 1 piece windshield from the factory, they have open drive-line rear axle, and a unique bed with flat top rails and raised/embossed bed sides.
This truck is a nice driver with a modern 292 inline Chevrolet 6cyl, an S-10 5 speed transmission, and the original rear-end. The Truck has a “Sids” (http://www.droppedaxles.com)
4” dropped front axle with new Kingpins, new tapered tie-rod ends, a new tie rod and drag-link, new “Timken” tapered front wheel bearings, new rear brakes including drums, new dual reservoir master cylinder, 4” lowering blocks in the rear, and new exhaust. The truck also has a new 12 volt heater fan motor and 12volt electric 2spd wipers, all the lights work except the dome light (it’s a new dome light just not hooked up). All the gauges work except the fuel gauge, and the truck also has an all new 12 volt wiring harness. The heater core has not been hooked up as of yet. The truck has 225/70/16 tires on 16” steel wheels; it has an original rare blade rear bumper also. This truck has the indent in the L-rear fender for the spare but a non-spare tire L-fender is included with the truck.
The truck appears to have some old “bondo” in the cab corners and some rust in the L-front cab corner. The fenders and doors are very solid as is the bed. The driver side window needs installed and the passenger wing window is cracked. This truck is an un-restored nice truck with nice patina that can be driven daily as is or you could paint it and make it your own, but all the mechanicals on the truck are in great shape.
This truck is currently a daily driver and will cruise at 65-70 all day and gets around 19-20 miles per gallon.
The owner is only selling the truck because he has to replace his shop roof.
The reserve is 5,000.00 I think that is more than fair for a solid driver, which needs nothing to be enjoyed as is. Good luck and bid to own. The owner would like a cashier’s check or cash in person for the truck. The truck must be paid for before it is shipped
Good luck and thank you for looking at my item.
Please check my other auctions often as I’m cleaning out my shop with 25+ years of accumulation. I will also be selling more cars and project cars.
Due to the fact that this is a 50+ year old used truck and I can not control how it will be used by the new owner there is no warranty or returns. This truck is sold as-is. What I have listed and what you see on the truck in the pictures is what I have and what you get.
I will need a $500.00 non-refundable deposit within 48hrs of sale, and then balance must be paid in full within 10 days of end of auction. If not paid within 10 days the truck will be re-listed and deposit not returned. (I will work with you if there is a good excuse. I will not lower price though). I will not charge storage on the truck, if the truck is paid for it can be stored at my home for awhile (1 or 2 months, not a year) until shipping is arranged.
I will not arrange shipping for the truck that is up to you the buyer but I will work with you and your shipper in any way I can.

2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
