1950 Chevrolet 3600 flat bed custom truck with 22 miles since restoration. A custom bed has been fabricated from steel tubing and solid oak cabinet grade lumber. The results of this custom bed combined with the vintage cab and front sheet metal make a very unique truck with a lot of attitude. The drive train is a combination of new and old while the vintage appearance has been retained.

Engine/engine compartment: The engine is a 350 Chevy motor out of a 1978 Corvette with many chrome accessories.

Chassis: The rear end is from a newer one-ton with drum brakes and dual wheels. A remote brake booster is frame mounted. All six wheels are from a later model Chevy one-ton truck. All six tires are new Uniroyal Laredo P225/70RX16 radials with raised outline lettering. The transmission is a toploader 4 speed with a granny low gear. The shifter has been shortened to add a custom touch to the truck. The entire underneath of the truck has been painted semi-gloss black.

Interior: The interior matches the exterior colors. Many up-to-date accessories have been added to the interior such as: new gauges, turn signals, custom wood console, custom oak door panels, clock, 12 volt electric fan, vintage compass with custom stand, prism, and Pioneer AM-FM-CD stereo radio with dual custom speakers that functions from a remote control module. New black steering wheel. The seat has been custom upholstered to match the exterior. The skirting is black and the seating areas are green. A custom pattern and new foam was used to reconstruct the seat. Black plush carpet has been installed. The headliner is black and is a reproduction of the original. New black sun visors. The original AM pushbutton radio has been painted green to match. The Pioneer stereo is custom fitted to a special console that extends from the center of the dash. Seat belts were installed for safety.

Exterior: The exterior of the truck has a lot of bling and lights. When the lights are on at night, this truck will illuminate like a Christmas tree. The four taillight assemblies are mid 1930's with blue dots. The hood has a rare center hood ornament with a flying bird. Chrome imitation louvers are attached in a strategic pattern giving the effects of a louvered hood. A vintage sun visor similar to the Fenton design was installed. All of the glass was replaced with gray safety glass. The two piece windshield was "V" butted which eliminates the center division bar. The rear window has a slider that opens for fresh air and ventilation. The running boards have been custom fabricated from wood and steel. Lake pipes have been installed giving the truck a mid 60's custom appearance...but are not functional. New outside door handles and chrome mirrors add bright accessories to the exterior. The headlights have aftermarket gravel protectors and eyebrow covers. The chrome grill is new as well as the front and rear chrome bumpers. Stainless steel side glass and wing window glass deflectors add to the exterior bling.

A custom dually bed was fabricated. The headache rack was built using mandrel bent tubing and has a high level third brake light mounted in the center with a blue dot to match the taillight lenses. A pair of back-up lights were installed and also have blue dots. A storage compartment with two stainless steel latches that lock was installed in the center of the bed, just behind the lighted license plate recess. All of the oak lumber is cabinet grade and the wood has been stained with a green tint. Clear urethane provides a satin finish. Bed rails were fabricated from oak as well.

Very unique design and two tone application. The cab, doors and hood are green. The front fenders, rear fenders and sides of the bed are black. Green accents are used around the entire bed and bed floor for color harmony with the cab colors.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")

Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
