Just a good, solid, well-maintained, great running, stock, complete and nearly original 1950 Chevrolet 3800 one ton pickup truck with the rare factory 9 foot step side bed instead of the usual flat bed. For years this truck was used on a farm in south-central Utah. The farmer who owned it was a stickler for mechanical upkeep. After years of use he parked it under cover in his barn. When he got cancer he decided to simplify his life and sell off stuff. With some fresh fuel and a charged battery, she started right up and was driven out of the barn.

It's biggest strength is clearly in how well she runs. The 216CID Stovebolt 6 runs extremely well, the four speed transmission shifts great, and the upgraded rear differential (Dana 60 I believe) really enhances the driveability due to it's numerically lower gear ratio and larger brakes. Battery is new and carb has recently been rebuilt. She starts, idles, accelerates, shifts, turns, brakes and stops very well. I drive it on the freeway in the slow lane and am able to cruise at 50+MPH even with it's old tires. Other then a 12 volt alternator swap, electric fuel pump, and heavy duty rear axle, this baby is just as it left the factory in 1950.

The interior is all there with no cutting or butchery of any kind. The only parts missing are the cardboard door panels and cardboard headliner. They typically come apart after a few years and are removed. No worries though, they are readily available in the aftermarket. Most gauges work and speedometer works even though needle is broken (see pics). All the trim is in place and in decent shape. It's only flaw is typical, easily repairable floor board rust (see pics).

The exterior in particular has aged very well. Rust is limited to typical places in the cab corners and is easily repairable if you want; it's certainly not essential. All the panels are straight. Under or behind the farm quality paint I can't find any signs of body work or accident history anywhere. Glass is decent other than a typical farm quality fix of Plexiglas instead of window glass; not a problem as all glass is flat with no curvature. Wood in the bed looks like it has held up well because of the protective rubber floor insert. Plus, look at that nifty, period correct ranch bumper on the rear.

This is just a great truck. You can enjoy it as is, fix it up while you drive or restore it. I'm an old truck guy pruning my collection and I rarely (and I mean rarely) come across one ton trucks with pickup beds. The vast majority have a much more common flat bed. That makes this one especially cool.

My name is Chris and I am happy to answer all your questions. Please call me at 435-669-1470. I also have tons of extra pictures. Send me a non-Ebay email address and I will get them out to you. This barn-find (literally) beauty is located in the dry, desert community of St. George, UT (about 100 miles north of Las Vegas). Thank you very much for your interest.

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....

Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.
