Here we have a very solid 1946 Chevy half ton pick up truck. I have my own restoration business and am selling this for an older friend who is not able to use a computer. He has owned the truck for 20+ years. It was driven lightly and always put back in the garage. The truck is believed to have 56,000 miles but this CANNOT be verified. Looking over the truck it is very solid. I could not find rust anywhere, even on the underside. Someone did a quick paint job way back and it is not very good. Almost looks like it was done with a spray can. There are not many dings or dents. The worst of it is on the passenger rear fender but it is something that could definitely be fixed. The interior is very clean. The seat has been recovered and is in excellent condition. The bed of the truck has new very nice looking boards, however the metal strips in between look like the paint job of the rest of the truck. The chrome is not in very good shape. Its either been painted or it has dents, such as the chrome bumpers. The grill has been painted silver. The truck has the original in line 6 engine and manual transmission. I have driven the truck and it runs great. Fires right up every time and goes down the road with no problems. All of the wiring is in good shape but most of the lights such as turn signals and brake lights have been replaced with cheap units. They do work though. There is a small oil leak when it sits. Looks to be a rear main seal. Pretty typical of these old trucks. This truck also comes with a couple boxes of original parts such as the heater and spot lights. The thing I was most impressed with was how beautiful the doors close. Very smooth. Keep in mind this is a low mileage truck but over the years things small things have been modified. This truck is by no means %100 original. Cool little truck though. Any questions call Dave, 6082898189. Best of luck.

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?
Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out
Thu, 29 Apr 2010Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
