HISTORY: According to the Protect-O-Plate (included with sale of truck) and documentation, this truck was purchased new from Alexander Chevrolet, Inc in Franklin, IN by the city of Franklin on July 15, 1970. It was sent to Howe Fire Apparatus Company in Anderson, Indiana to be up fitted with a utility bed and PTO to become a Fire and Rescue truck for Franklin IN. It appears the truck was sent directly from the dealership to Howe Fire Apparatus Company and did not get titled until 1971 upon completion of being up fitted with the fire and rescue equipment. In 1983, it was sold to the public with only 6000 miles on it. That owner put a fleet side bed on it and, despite the mileage, performed a “restoration” on it. It was then sold to a close friend of mine in 2002. It was then traded and sold back and forth between me and him two times. When I bought it back from him the last time, it had @52,000 original miles and in need of a lot of attention.

DESCRIPTION: The truck is ultra clean top and bottom. I got the truck back from paint a few months ago. It was painted its original 514 Red. Great paint job from Newcastle in Simi Valley, CA. The underside was cleaned and rattle canned. Bumpers, chrome, grill (original) and bright work are in good to excellent condition. All glass is good, windshield is new as are all the seals and rubber. It has a sliding rear window. I found a ream of the original factory patterned (standard) red seat material and had it perfectly matched to the original seat when the seat was rebuilt and reupholstered by Richy’s in Simi Valley, CA. Mechanically, everything works like they should except the added factory vacuum gauge is not hooked up. Brand new Firestone mud tires.

ENGINE: The engine is a GM factory HT383 crate motor. It has @30,000 miles on it. 1964 corvette ram horn exhaust manifolds, MSD HEI distributor, Optima blue top battery, 00 battery cables, Edelbrock water pump, four row radiator and an internally regulated alternator. I just changed out the carburetor to a Quick Fuel 650 cfm mechanical secondaries. The two previous Holleys’ (truck avenger then a street avenger) had minor tuning problems so I got rid of them. The carb. is great. It was professionally tuned at Pacific Carburetor in Ventura, CA. It has 2 1/2 exhaust pipes with Flow Master mufflers. Kenz Muffler in Oxnard did the exhaust.

DRIVETRAIN: The transmission is the original SM465 four speed (granny low first). The transfer case is the original NP205 (it has a slight leak) coupled with a Gear Venders overdrive/gear splitter. The rear drive shaft is an Inland Empire Driveline. The axles are both original to the truck retaining their factory 4.10 ratios. Dana 44 in the front, Eaton HO52 in the rear. The rear has a no-spin locker in it (an open diff comes with the truck as well). It has factory hubs. All u-joints, including axle, were replaced with Spicer units.

BRAKES: I sourced the complete brake system (front disc, rear drums, lines, and booster/master cylinder) from a 1972 3/4 ton Chevy that was bought just for this purpose. All parts that could be bought new or reconditioned were purchased at this time including all new wheel/hub bearings, hoses, calipers, rotors, and drums.

SUSPENSION: The springs are 2 1/2 inch leafs. The rears have a 0 rate 1” leaf added. I recently added new Bilstien shocks front and back. It also has Hellwig sway bars front and back. The wheels are Ford E350 16" take offs, that were powder coated white, with brand new Firestone mud tires (matching spare included). It also comes with a set of new ORD shackles that I never installed. The steering box was replaced with one from AGR Steering as well as the steering pump.

INTERIOR: The seat was reconditioned as described above. Features are as follows: New dash pad, newer factory rubber floor covering, new glove box liner, replaced factory cluster with one that has all the gauges including functional tachometer. It has a Custom Auto Sound stereo with a speaker box under the seat. The entire cab floor as well as the lower doors has been LineX’ed. Hush mat has been applied throughout the cab and gas tank. All factory decals are still in place.

BODY: The entire exterior was very recently painted the factory Chevy 514 red. All new rubber was installed (except wind wings). The entire bed was reshot at LineX of Simi Valley. There is not even a foot print in it yet. All new rubber gaskets and cab light lenses were also added when painted. There is not or ever was any rust on the truck.

ACCESSORIES: The truck comes with a full set of manuals, fire apparatus documentation, matching spare mounted in bed, a LineX’ed custom cab rack, and a “hidden hitch”.

Please feel free to email with any questions. The truck is worth every bit of $25,000 but feel free to give me an offer. The truck can be viewed by appointment. It is located in Simi Valley CA. Thank You for your interest.

CES 2022 was huge for EVs | Autoblog Podcast #711

Fri, Jan 7 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder. CES took place this week, and there were some nice electric surprises from automakers, especially General Motors. John has been driving the Ram 1500 Power Wagon, as well as what seems to be its polar opposite, the electric Mini Cooper SE. Greg talks about the differences between the Acura TLX A-Spec long-termer (which is back in the shop) and the Type S loaner that's filling in for it. John's also got some interesting thoughts on leather interiors. Finally, the editors reach into the mailbag and help a repeat customer decide on a suitable replacement for a 2008 Lexus GX 470 in this week's Spend My Money segment.

2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 vs. 2019 Ram 1500 vs. 2018 Ford F-150: How they compare

Mon, Jan 15 2018

The full-size pickup truck market is seriously hot right now. Both Ram and Chevrolet have introduced completely redesigned trucks, the 2019 Ram 1500 and the 2019 Chevy Silverado, and as the companies slowly roll each one out, more and more information comes to light. We've put together this comparison post to help you keep track of all the features and specifications of each of these new models, along with the updated 2018 Ford F-150. Among the stats we'll take a look at are engines, power, fuel economy, trim levels, weight and more. Weight savings Both the 2019 Ram 1500 and 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 have gone on a diet for the new model year, similar to the one the F-150 went on in 2015. The Silverado is the weight-loss leader, having shed 450 pounds when comparing quad-cab V8 models. The Ram 1500 lost 225 pounds compared to the current truck. Both trucks achieve their weight loss in part due to the use of aluminum parts. On the Silverado, the hood, doors, and tailgate are aluminum, while on the Ram, just the hood and tailgate are aluminum on the body. Compare that to the F-150, which uses aluminum for all exterior body panels for a total weight loss of up to 732 pounds, which makes the aluminum-intensive F-150 the weight-loss leader. View 160 Photos Engines and transmissions There's only a bit of overlap in powertrains on the Ram 1500 and Chevy Silverado. Each has a V8 for the top engine. The Ram's is a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 making 395 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. The Silverado will once again use a 6.2-liter V8 as its range topper with the same 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque as the current model. Both of these V8s boast some extra fuel saving technology. The Chevy's 6.2-liter (and some 5.3-liters) comes with the company's latest cylinder deactivation system that can shut off any or nearly all of the eight cylinders. The Ram's V8 boasts an optional 48-volt mild-hybrid system that, in addition to likely helping fuel economy, can provide up to 130 pound-feet of torque right off the line. With the Ram, fuel economy sees an improvement of 2 mpg in the city and combined ratings for 17 and 19 respectively. Highway fuel economy improves by 1 mpg to 23 with two-wheel drive and 22 with four-wheel drive. The Silverado's 6.2-liter V8 only improves city fuel economy by 1 mpg to 16, and actually loses 1 mpg on the highway. The new 5.3-liter engine with the fancy cylinder deactivation does see an improvement over the simpler version.
