Check out this really nice Restorod restoration of a
1953 Chevrolet 3100 Pickup truck. Stk# 14787 VIN LBM218642
Granny's Wagon is ready to drive to your local cruise, street rod show or just enjoy as a really standout daily driver. Perhaps you want to promote your business, this truck would work perfectly for that too.

A
Chevy 350ci 4 bolt main, high nickel content 010 block ensures that if you want to upgrade and go down the supercharger route, you have the best block that Chevrolet made to build horsepower from. Cam is mild for highway use and it has highway gears, so cruising down the highway is effortless. It is very easy to drive!

From what we can see, it looks like it has been built on a Chevy S10 chassis, but I haven't put it up on the ramp to confirm this.

It drives down the road very nicely, has plenty of power with it's Edelbrock Streetmaster intake manifold, Accel Ignition, tubular headers and new dual exhaust system that sounds great, deep and throaty without being obnoxious!

Tires are BFGoodrich Radial T/As 235/60R14 on the front with 255/60R15 on the back and are in excellent condition. Wheels are the classic looking American Racing Chrome 5 spokes.

The paint is really nice with some subtle pin-striping and the previous owner never drove in the rain and always dusted it down with a soft cloth after any use. Rear camper box is custom made and although was built to stay on, it wouldn't take much to remove it if you prefer the straight pickup look. We don't have a rear tailgate for it if you did this however.

Interior is buttoned brown velour. It is a very civilized truck, an easy daily driver. It has
Power Steering, Power Brakes & Power Windows. Engine runs smoothly, no flat spots, transmission shifts well. Suspension is tight and quiet. Steering is precise. Truck could easily handle a lot more power if that is your thing! You will have to go a long way to find such a nice running truck. Reserve is set lower than we have been asking locally! 

You certainly won't be disappointed in this truck!
Drive off the lot and straight into a show, promote your business and use as a tax write off, use as a cool daily driver, supercharge and tub the rear end and make it a street machine, use it as it is or as a great platform for a high dollar show vehicle, It's you choice, it can be anything you want it to be!

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A 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?

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
