1955 Chevrolet Bel Air 2dr Sedan Frame Off Big Block 454 on 2040-cars
Spicer, Minnesota, United States
|
This 55 has most of the tough stuff already done. The frame was blasted and painted with the body off. The body isolators are new. the exterior body has been cleaned up and straightened, but some minor finish and floor work remains. The 454 and auto trans are from a (90?) GM truck donor. (car originally had a manual trans). I have the accessories and water pump for the engine. It was running when it came out.
The doors and front clip were in very good condition, (little rust) and needed little work. The quarters had a little rust & the lower rear area of the trunk was rusted. Most has been finished. Trunk work was started but remains unfinished. This could be an easy project for you to finish. I have all the dash trim in nice condition. (speedo, clock, aluminum trim pieces). I have the door panels, and seats which were recovered by the last owner...(maroon cloth). I have late model 6 way electric Lexus buckets in the car. All exterior stainless is here and most has been polished. I am missing the two long quarter trim pieces and the two short door pieces. They are all easily available as repro and inexpensive. Glass is in good condition with one cracked door glass, (still usable). You would need an exhaust system, gas tank and a radiator. Car is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early. |

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
