V-8 S10 Truck -- RUNS ON WOOD ! 1 cord
= 5200 miles!!
1985
S10 with 350CI engine, 700R4 transmission, Wayne Keith Gasifier.
This
truck has been built as the next step forward in woodgas performance. Light
overall weight and a high flow woodgas system were a priority during the build.
This is the first woodgas truck to be specifically designed for use with a
supercharged engine.
If
performance & mileage is what you are looking for, this is the truck for
you!!
Chassis from cab back has been replaced
with a custom tube chassis specifically designed to accept a Wayne Keith
gasifier. All the build pictures are under New WK Gasser project thread in the
premium section of Drive on Wood.
CHASSIS
- features 4 link suspension w/ 3/4 x 3/4 rod ends, adjustable height panhard bar,
QA1 double adjustable suspension shocks & adjustable coil over springs.
Lower shock mounts are fully adjustable for any desired ride height. 4 wheel
alignment is very easy as each 4 link bar is equipped with right & left
hand rod ends for length adjustment. . The panhard bar is also equipped with
right & left rod ends for easy adjustment. Machined tube holes thru cross
members for exhaust.
GASIFIER
- has been built to exact specs as shown on Drive on Wood hand book & video
with all new materials. The fire tube is the larger of the two designs -- same
dimensions as the gasifier on Wayne Keith's V10 Dodge. Extreme design measures
taken to sink the gasifier low enough in the chassis to be below the S10 roof.
The chassis has also been designed to mount the gasifier far enough to the
center of the truck as not to protrude past the door. Full weight of gasifier
sits on platform & held in position by a bolt on strap with machined mounts
welded to chassis (outer housing is not pierced anywhere for mounting)
HOPPER
-- features 16 external, removable cooler tubes, 16 hold down springs and
flanged & bolted top cover mount (absolutely no distortion in the top
cover)
GRATE
-- 1/4 in laser cut stainless steel with star shaped relief holes. We installed
one of these grates in Chris Saenz's Dakota last year --- he reports that it
works very well.
CLEANOUT
DOOR -- Outside mounted for ease of maintenance -- total access to the grate,
machined hinges & latch are all adjustable to insure a perfect air tight
seal.
HEAT
EXCHANGER -- 8 inch bolted flange intake tube with close bolt pattern (to
insure no leak connection) 5 inch flanged exit tube. Machined inlet bung for
intake blowers.
COOLER
-- 4 pass, 5 inch flanged intake tube -- 5 inch flanged exit tube. 65 feet of
2.00 x .070 aluminized tubing, laser cut headers, removable end tanks, machined
Delrin mounts. This unit is a high flow condensed version of the standard
cooling rack. The cooler has been specifically designed for high flow and easy
maintenance.
CONDENSATE
TANK -- 5 inch flanged intake, 4 inch flanged exit tube. Machined, 3 bolt
mounting system. This tank also serves as lower mounting for the hay filter.
Easy removal & installation for maintenance
HAY
FILTER -- 4 inch flanged inlet, 4 inch flanged outlet. The weight of the filter
housing sits on the bottom flange and on machined mounts welded to the chassis
& tubular cross bracing to the heat exchanger & cooler tank.
MONORATOR
TANK -- 2 bolt tab mounted to the chassis. Easily removed, bottom & side
drain.
7
BLOWERS -- 2 intake blowers vertically mounted. 1 reverse, 4 suction blowers
vertically mounted to the hay filter. Outer aluminum cover for wiring is easily
removed for maintenance. Vertically mounted blowers will not allow condensate
pooling inside blower housings. Drive on Wood builders are trending towards
this method.
TRANSMISSION
COOLER -- Mounted under rear chassis. Fittings on the transmission & cooler
have been converted to JIC #6 and connected with Parker hydraulic hose with
Parker push lock swivel ends.
WOODGAS
INDUCTION SYSTEM -- Custom built gasoline, woodgas intake manifold. Throttle
bodies have been machined for woodgas & air intake. All tubing in engine
compartment & under truck is 3 1/2 inch stainless steel.
MACK
REAR END -- 680/1ratio, complete for use as a chunker. Note flanged pinion yoke
--- makes for very easy mounting of sprocket, pulley or shaft.
LOTS
OF FUEL -- thousands of pounds of chunked, bagged, dry wood. Hundreds of extra
bags.
TOOLING
& EXTRA PARTS -- All extra construction materials & tooling - jigs
related to this project go with the sale of the truck.
OPTIONS
-- This gasifier and cooler are also designed to operate a stationary generator
or power plant.
Rear
half of chassis has been designed to adapt to any small truck such as a Dakota,
Ranger, S10 etc.
The
truck is 90% complete. --- new, has never been fired --- high quality build.
Chris
Saenz @ Drive on Wood has inspected this truck & can verify the quality of
this build.

Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.

The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.

We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
