1959 Chevy short wide bed big back window with chop top.I am listing this truck for a good friend of mine. He started building this truck in 2009. He spent 2 1/2 years building this truck. If you was to pay a shop to build this same truck you would spend around a $100,000.00 to $125,000.00 . The only thing he didnt have done on this truck was put Heat and A/C on it as he was only doing car shows with the truck and wanted a clean look under the hood with a smooth firewall. You can add vintage heat and a/c for not allot of money or time. The truck has had less than 1500 miles put on it since built. The only reason the truck is for sale is due to some health issues and he is no longer able to show the truck. The Body of the truck was a nice clean almost rust free truck when he started on it. The top is chopped 4 inches in the back and 5 inches in the front. All custom made glass with over $4000.00 spent on glass.Custom battery box in bed. The side trim was removed and did some custom work as you see in the pics. There is 100's of hours spent in black sanding a prepping this truck for paint not to mention the hours of blocking and sanding for the show buff on the paint. The truck is way over the top . Very nice does not even come close to describing the apperance of this truck. There was over 200 hours spent on the dash and interior paint on the truck. He planned on keeping this truck and spared no expense. Has remote poppers for the doors and has a saftey release in case you lose power. The interior of the truck has late model leather seats withe the driver side power and heated , no carpet , new headliner . Nice kenwood radio. Autometer guages with billet aluminum cluster. Gas gas does not work, needs looked at. There is a couple small spots on interior , one on top of passenger seat and the other on driver door panel where it shuts in jamb. These are the only flaw I seen. I have pictures of both. The Frame and running gear was built by another person and then purchased as a complete rolling unit. *Four link rear suspension with QA-1 coil over shocks *Roll control / rear sway bar *Aluminum fuel tank *4 wheel disc brakes *2 1/2 inch pipe with flowmaster mufflers *17" American Torq Thrust II wheels with Fuzion ZR1 Tires , 255/50/17 and 235/45/17 *Boxed frame with 1976 Nova front suspension , built with all new suspension parts *Ceramic coated headers *Aluminum radiator *Turbo 350 trans with B&M shift kit and small stall , all rebuilt or new *Flaming river stainless steel tilt steering column with custom steering wheel *New mini torque starter with heat shield and wrap. * Rebuilt 350 sbc bored 40 over , 4 bolt main ,Heads ported and polished ,Flat top hypereutectic pistons , roller rockers ,Edelbrock intake and carb ,Moroso high capacity oil pan , Moroso valve covers ,Accel HEI distributor , electric water pump and much more .

GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.
GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
