Up for sale is my 1951 Chevrolet Pickup, 3100 half ton, with small block Chevrolet coupled to a 4 speed manual transmission with air conditioning that works! Runs and drives absolutely fantastically!! It is a really fun truck to drive! Must see the video to see how well it drives in all 4 speeds. Mustang 2 front end with disc brakes and rack and pinion steering. No understeer or oversteer. Car drives straight going down the road at 60 mph! Brakes stop the car on a dime and pull "straight". Transmission shifts well in all 4 forward gears (as well as reverse) and quickly gets up to highway speeds. All synchros are excellent, clutch is excellent with no clutch chatter nor anything of the sort. Excellent oil pressure running at 40-60 lbs the whole time, Starts with a quick turn of the ignition switch everytime, runs cool, does not overheat, headers with very mild exhaust mufflers, can be driven all day with no problems. 12 Volt conversion, truck charges well and holds a charge as seen by the amp gauge. Oil pressure, gas gauge, amp meter, speedometer, tach all work, radio works nicely. Low and high beam headlights, turn signals, running lights, reverse lights, dash lights all work. Horn and wipers currently not working. Boxed frame up front with coilovers, well done installation as shown by the quality of drive, mechanically excellent, very strong. No strange noises, no rattles, just a very strong mechanical truck where all of the hard work has been done and done correctly. These are modifications which were done some time ago and have been proven to be correctly done over time by the way the truck continues to drive so well and so straight. You are more than welcome to come and drive it and see for yourself. We have placed a video here so that you can see how it runs through the gears going down the road at highway speeds. The air conditioning works and blows cold air inside the cabin of the truck. Tires are near new and have full tread. Wheels are fresh with new hubcaps.
The truck was restored some years ago and now it is beginning to show some age on the previous restoration. You can see by the pictures that the truck sat outside after it was restored and has some rust peaking through the older paint job. I have crawled all over it and the floors are excellent, super solid. Looks as though cab corners were fixed with metal and these are solid as well. Doors close perfectly and gaps on the doors and hood are excellent when closed. Doors close well and hit the latch well. There is no door sag and the truck never appears to have been in an accident. What needs to be done are cosmetics. This includes the wood for the bed and a repaint of the truck. The doors are incredibly straight, door bottoms look good and the truck will not require a lot of dent repair. As you look down the side of the body, it is very straight in its reflection. The bed panels are very straight and will require little if any body work. Chrome is presentable, with some fading on the upper two chrome bars of the grill. Bumpers look good. If you currently look online you will see nicely done examples in the $25000 to $30000 range. This truck is not that far away from that. I like the fact that it is a 4 speed manual transmission and that the truck retains its original steering column and steering wheel. I have seen some modified trucks where late model additions were not tastefully done. This preserves the "original" feel of the truck while having late model running gear and air conditioning. It is a super fun truck to drive!
Here is a video of the truck:

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16
Wed, 06 Feb 2013The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.
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!"
GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
