1955 Chevy 3100 half ton short bed pickup with the desirable big back window and a 1957 hood. Clean, straight, solid truck just needing minor finishing. A magnet was stuck all over this entire body-it is very solid; the only place it showed work was done was the very lower cab corners, but these areas are finished, and appear good and well done. The paint is a satin Heritage red, with new VERY nice grey heavy vinyl upholstery and new grey carpeting. The engine is a strong running 350, with a Turbo 400 automatic transmission. Because of health reasons, I haven't been able to accomplish as much as I've wanted to do to finish this truck. Most of the no-fun stuff has already been done. I'll list below what has been done, as well as what is still needed....
Work done, a new parts installed, etc.:
Restored instrument cluster, restored window regulators, new inside door mechanisms, tilt column installed, beautiful new seat upholstery and new carpeting, new windshield installed, new glove box (needs installing), new door weatherstripping and window fuzzies (need installing), new exhaust, new rear fender welting (needs installing), new 1 wire alternator, plus the following NEW chrome parts already installed: Front bumper, rear bumper, grill, headlight bezels, tail lights, parking lights, windshield wiper bezels, tail gate chains, exterior door handles, window cranks and door handles, etc.
Still needs to be done:
Wiring the lights, horn, etc. (all the wires are labeled from the instrument cluster; wiring is done to start and run motor), bleed the brakes, install door weatherstripping and window fuzzies (included), level the bed, and some other things.
This is a very good, solid, very desirable body style pickup, just needing a few things finished- Almost all of the no fun stuff has been done. Call me (Joe) with any questions you may have at 801 455-2467 or 801 571-8580.
A paypal non-refundable deposit of $500 would be appreciated, with the balance paid by bank wire transfer or cash in person.
A buy it now price can be added if desired.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.
