1952 Chevrolet Short Bed Step Side Truck Restored Street Rod on 2040-cars
Ramona, California, United States
|
This is a great little short bed pickup. It is very reliable, quick, and fun to drive. I have owned it over ten years and just kept improving it over the years. The color is a BMW Boston Poly metallic green. A list of the improvements is as follows: · The front suspension is a Mustang II installed by A1 Engineering and is fully rebuilt with new bushings and ball joints · Power rack and pinion steering · Huge sway bars front and back · Front disc brakes · Engine is a 350 Chevy with Vortec heads and an Erson cam. New HEI distributor and wires. · Desert Cooler radiator · The truck was completely rewired and a fuse box installed. · Halogen headlights. · New Battery · Transmission is a Turbo 400 · The rear end is a Ford 9 Inch · The chrome is excellent except for the front grille which is starting to show age. · Wheels are American Racing · The gauges are Stewart Warner and all work, as do the lights, turn signals; etc.. · New glass and window rubber. · The Oak bed was refinished at one time but needs refinished. The underside of the bed is perfect, so you may be able to just flip the boards over. · Airbrushed smoothie tailgate with Chevy emblem. · Custom rear lower light panel for the rear lights. · California truck · The truck was disassembled and stripped to the bare metal, painted, and reassembled. I have several restoration photos and have included a few. It does need a few things maintained or finished, such as, the power rack and pinion weeps a little and the truck does not have a radio or a wiper motor. The clear coat on the paint is peeling on some panels. It was under a tarp and the heat affected some paint, like the hood and the top where the tarp rested on it. Great truck! |

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1
Mon, 13 Jan 2014
The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
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.
