I have owned this truck for 2 years now. The truck has a rust patina on the cab and the truck bed still has a little paint left on it. The truck is fully driveable, you can take it on the freeway, it can take a corner well and the parts that I used to build it are all quality parts. A local shop here has helped it get to this point so I would say it's a fairly professionally built truck. What I haven't finished is the look of the truck, I think the bed would look better stripped of paint and a few other details which will be the new owner's decision now. This is a completed truck, not a project truck. The truck has a VIN, it has passed inspection, it has a license plate, it's registered and street legal. For anyone that isn't familiar with California it's very tough getting an old truck registered and for it to pass inspection, all that has been done. I drive the car, it has insurance and it's registered to my name and I have the title in my hand.
The cab is a 1939 chevy truck cab that has been narrowed and channeled 4 inches. The frame is a 1930's frame that has been boxed, Z'd, with tubular reinforcement and cross member. 1937 ford front end, 1987 ford ranger rear end. Discs in the front that are as good as new, drums in the back, fully rebuilt. Turbo 350 transmission was professionally rebuilt in 2011 and the engine is a 1970 305ci engine with less than 1500 miles on it after its rebuilt. No leaks from front to the rear. Exhaust is street legal with mufflers, cherry bombs but it isn't too loud so it's ok around a neighborhood. Headlights, turn signals, reverse and brake lights.
The interior is very basic, hurst shifter, gauge cluster is in but nonfunctional. Ignition switch is basic aftermarket unit. Battery is a super light Odyssey unit. The gas tank is a 5 gallon gas canister. I have an extra one if you need more mileage out of the car. The brake assembly is a CNC hydraulic kit. The gas pedal is a 1989 ford mustang piece. The carb is an edelbrock street carb. The front windshield is Lexan. The side windows are functional but cannot be rolled up all the way due to the chop. The glass is broken on the right side.
The issues the truck has are as follows: The gas tank only hold 5 gallons, if you need more range you will need to add a second tank which I have available. There is no grill, I have the grill but never installed it which is only a cosmetic piece but I think important to the look of the truck. The radiator has a small leak that will require its core to be replaced. A new radiator is $150, rebuilding the core would be about $90 which includes labor. The truck bed needs it's paint stripped for the truck to have a more cohesive look or the cab needs a similar pain. The seat belt is fully functional but only a lap belt. If you going to drive on the freeway I would recommend a 3 point seat belt. There is no rear windshield and I like that look so if you prefer otherwise either a metal grate or Lexan would look good there. The battery has 550 cca which is a little low especially on hot starts so you can either replace with a larger battery or redo the wiring to avoid hot start problems. It still starts up every time but it will be finicky if left the way it is.
The shop that has done all the work on this truck can take care of the extra gas tank tank and fix the radiator leak. If you are interested you can contact the shop to have the work done. Total should be $250 or you can do it yourself. It would be very easy work.

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
Leno drives Ringbrothers' latest, 1966 Chevy Chevelle Recoil
Tue, Mar 3 2015Jay Leno has been checking out quite a few older rides in his garage as of late, but has mixed things up a little this week. Ringbrothers took home an award at the 2014 SEMA Show for the 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle it named Recoil, and now the car has proven it can do more than just look good on Jay Leno's Garage. While the latest guest might look vintage, underneath those classic lines is a thoroughly modern muscle car sporting a claimed 980 horsepower. The heart of this beast is a supercharged LS7 V8 from Wegner Motorsports and a six-speed Tremec manual gearbox. Even with so much power, it can still run on 91-octane pump gas, and when Jay gets on the throttle the result is a wall of sound from the wailing supercharger. Despite the muscle, the Recoil doesn't really scream about its performance aesthetically. The color is a surprisingly plain beige, but the carbon fiber touches and side exhaust certainly indicate that there's something special here. The owner's sole request for the car was to include metal seats, and Ringbrothers provided them with a few bits of leather offering a touch of comfort. After checking the Recoil out from stem to stern, Leno finally gets behind the wheel and treats our ears to pull after pull from that big, supercharged V8.
