1950 Chevrolet 3600 flat bed custom truck with 22 miles since restoration.  A custom bed has been fabricated from steel tubing and solid oak cabinet grade lumber.  The results of this custom bed combined with the vintage cab and front sheet metal make a very unique truck with a lot of attitude.  The drive train is a combination of new and old while the vintage appearance has been retained.
Engine/engine compartment:  The engine is a 350 Chevy motor out of a 1978 Corvette with many chrome accessories.
Chassis:  The rear end is from a newer one-ton with drum brakes and dual wheels.  A remote brake booster is frame mounted.  All six wheels are from a later model Chevy one-ton truck.  All six tires are new Uniroyal Laredo P225/70RX16 radials with raised outline lettering.  The transmission is a toploader 4 speed with a granny low gear.  The shifter has been shortened to add a custom touch to the truck.  The entire underneath of the truck has been painted semi-gloss black.  
Interior:  The interior matches the exterior colors.  Many up-to-date accessories have been added to the interior such as: new gauges, turn signals, custom wood console, custom oak door panels, clock, 12 volt electric fan, vintage compass with custom stand, prism, and Pioneer AM-FM-CD stereo radio with dual custom speakers that functions from a remote control module.  New black steering wheel.  The seat has been custom upholstered to match the exterior.  The skirting is black and the seating areas are green.  A custom pattern and new foam was used to reconstruct the seat.  Black plush carpet has been installed.  The headliner is black and is a reproduction of the original.  New black sun visors.  The original AM pushbutton radio has been painted green to match.  The Pioneer stereo is custom fitted to a special console that extends from the center of the dash.  Seat belts were installed for safety.
Exterior:  The exterior of the truck has a lot of bling and lights.  When the lights are on at night, this truck will illuminate like a Christmas tree.  The four taillight assemblies are mid 1930's with blue dots.  The hood has a rare center hood ornament with a flying bird.  Chrome imitation louvers are attached in a strategic pattern giving the effects of a louvered hood.  A vintage sun visor similar to the Fenton design was installed.  All of the glass was replaced with gray safety glass.  The two piece windshield was "V" butted which eliminates the center division bar.  The rear window has a slider that opens for fresh air and ventilation.  The running boards have been custom fabricated from wood and steel.  Lake pipes have been installed giving the truck a mid 60's custom appearance...but are not functional.  New outside door handles and chrome mirrors add bright accessories to the exterior.  The headlights have aftermarket gravel protectors and eyebrow covers.  The chrome grill is new as well as the front and rear chrome bumpers.  Stainless steel side glass and wing window glass deflectors add to the exterior bling.  
A custom dually bed was fabricated.  The headache rack was built using mandrel bent tubing and has a high level third brake light mounted in the center with a blue dot to match the taillight lenses.  A pair of back-up lights were installed and also have blue dots.  A storage compartment with two stainless steel latches that lock was installed in the center of the bed, just behind the lighted license plate recess.  All of the oak lumber is cabinet grade and the wood has been stained with a green tint.  Clear urethane provides a satin finish.  Bed rails were fabricated from oak as well.
Very unique design and two tone application.  The cab, doors and hood are green.  The front fenders, rear fenders and sides of the bed are black.  Green accents are used around the entire bed and bed floor for color harmony with the cab colors.

Top 11 Lego Technic cars to buy on Amazon in 2024

Mon, Jan 22 2024

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. I recently got a birthday wish list from my 11-year-old nephew, and I couldn't help but smile when I saw “Lego Technic Cars” at the top. Lego isnÂ’t a phase, itÂ’s a lifestyle. Once a Lego fan, always a Lego fan. In fact, IÂ’d be willing to bet that many of you reading this right now have some kind of Lego vehicle in a box somewhere, or better yet, on display in your home. While theyÂ’re not necessarily cheap, getting into building Lego Technic vehicles doesnÂ’t have to bankrupt you, either, unless you go for the $400 Lamborghini right off the bat. Here are 11 of our favorite Lego Technic vehicles on Amazon, right now, ranging from an affordable $35 all the way up to $450. LEGO Technic Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Ages 9+ (544 Pieces) - $39.99 (20% off) One of my first and favorite model cars growing up was a first-gen Ford Mustang GT350, so this GT500 for under $40 is right up my alley. At 544 pieces and made for ages 9 and up, the GT500 is a considerable step up from Grave Digger but a great starter to a Technic collection nonetheless. It isnÂ’t the most accurate-looking vehicle in this list, but the AR app and the fact that it can drive make it a worthwhile purchase. $39.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Formula E Porsche 99X Electric Ages 9+ (422 Pieces) - $49.99 Not a Ford fan? Not a problem. This Formula E Porsche 99X is the same price and better looking than the GT500. Even though there are 122 fewer pieces in this Porsche set, it has a level of detail seen in much more expensive Technic sets including numerous decals and a pull back motor.  $49.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Jeep Wrangler Ages 9+ (665 Pieces) - $54.99 This is the set I ended up going with for my nephew, not because I think it is the coolest, but because for the price, I think you get the most bang for your buck. 665 pieces is over 50% more than the comparatively priced Porsche 99X and it also scratches the nostalgia itch for me: The first-ever model vehicle I built was a yellow Jeep Wrangler Sahara. This Wrangler Rubicon has definitely had some aftermarket mods like the front winch, which makes it one of the coolest Technic sets under $60.  $54.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Monster Jam Grave Digger Ages 7+ (212 Pieces) - $34.16 If ever there was a gateway Lego Technic, this Grave Digger is it.

Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.

Watch a camo'ed next-gen Chevy Volt go ice driving

Tue, Dec 23 2014

Teasers for the 2016 Chevy Volt continue, The Bowtie showing us in this latest outing how its range-extended hybrid dances on ice and snow. It will only take 42 seconds of your life so don't expect an Arctic challenge, but if you in the snow regions had any doubts about how it will handle the frozen goods, this should help assuage them. The bigger and better, more powerful and faster Volt - able to run regular fuel - will get out from under its camo at the North American International Auto Show next month. For now, enjoy the way it moves its hips in the video above. News Source: Chevrolet via YouTube, Facebook Detroit Auto Show Chevrolet Videos
