1955 Chevy Big Window Shop Truck
Selling my 1955 Chevy shop truck to start some new projects. This truck has been driven for 2 + years now and is a fun truck to drive. If your looking for a plush comfy truck this isn't it. It is built as a nice driver. The frame has been fully boxed (except for under the cab) A mustang II suspension was installed with tubular a-arms and dropped spindles. It has manual rack and pinion steering that is connected to a hot rod column with a quick release hub. An 18" Bell 4 spoke steering wheel makes it feel like you have power steering. The brakes are 11" GM in the front and stock Nova drums in the rear. It has a Wilwood dual master cylinder mounted under the floor to the factory pedal. The rear is a 68-73 Nova rear axle with the factory 3:08 gear. The axle has been flipped on top of the original leaf springs and have installed a 10" C-notch so you could air bag in future (can't get rear any lower with current wheel and tire combo) The wheels and tires are all brand new from Coker Tire. The wheels are the hot rod steel wheels 16" with 47-53 Chevy hubcaps and the tires are Firestone Biasply. Fronts are 600-16 and Rears are 750-16. The drive train is a 350 Chevy from a 79 police car. The transmission is a combination of an 85 Camaro 5 Speed with an 92 S-10 tailshaft. It was made this way so a bench seat could still be used. The exhaust consist of hugger headers with a 2-1/2" straight pipe exhaust existing under the bed in front of the rear tires. There are no mufflers just straight pipes. It is loud and has a good sound to it. The is Stewart Warner oil pressure and temperature gauges mounted under the dash. The original gauges are in it but not hooked up. A new aluminum radiator was installed about 2 months ago. The truck has recently been painted with a fauxtina paint job. The truck has the typical rust areas that could be fixed if you chose. I like it how it is. The floor would need patch work around the transmission and master cylinder opening. There are many sheet metal replacement parts available reasonably for this truck. This truck is great on gas mileage with the 5 speed and rear axle gearing. I can drive 75 on the highway in 4th gear at 2000 rpm or shift to 5th and be just under a 1000 rpm. The wiring is as when I first got the truck and is all wired from the ignition switch but will give you a 9+3 complete wiring harness and fuse panel with the truck.
I've described this truck to the best of my ability please review the pictures of the build for more information.
You can see pictures of the entire build of this truck at my Thompson's Garage facebook page. Look for the album 1955 Chevy
I am selling this truck as is with no warranty implied. Please read the description and ask any questions before bidding.
A $1000 non refundable deposit is due 48 hours from auction end.

Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump
Mon, 11 Feb 2013To say that things aren't going well for the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is a pretty sizable understatement. Reports have been swirling about the Malibu getting an emergency design refresh, less than a year after its introduction, as well as having its production at the Fairfax Assembly Plant halted twice already this year for excessive inventory. Now, Motor Trend is reporting that the midsize sedan will be receiving price drops across the board ranging from $300 on a number of models up to $770 on the 1LT trim; offsetting some of MSRP drop, though, the destination charge has increased from $760 to $810.
Without destination, the entry-level Malibu LS now starts at $21,995, which is still about $300 more than a Honda Accord and about $300 less than the segment's top-selling Toyota Camry. This new pricing also drops the price of the Eco, 2LT and 3LT trims by $300. The LTZ trim has dropped by $415, meaning that the Malibu's top dog now starts at just under $30,000, excluding destination.
Here are the new starting prices for all eight of the Malibu trim levels compared to the previous prices for the 2013 model year (including destination):
Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum
Fri, 02 May 2014Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.
