55 Chevy Nomad Survivor (one Of The Best If Not The Best) on 2040-cars
Spokane, Washington, United States
|
One of the best if not the best (Survivor) available. Completely orginal. runs and drives great. Excelent interior. The Nomad moldings are some of the best with little or no pitting or cracks. One spot of rust in front of left rear wheel as in pic. Very minute surface rust in various places. A small crease in rear fender. This car was stored in norhtern Idaho for the last 30-40 yrs in a very controled area. I could go on and on about all the correct items on this car such as the door weatherstrip still sporting the correct canvas cover. The spiral shocks. the orginal fuel pump. the exhaust header pipe still having the shields on it. the tail gate fits excellent. The glass is all excellent. The headliner and all the linoleum is excelent. the chrome is all excellent. I drained the gas tank and used por 15 then rebuilt the original carb and fuel pump changed the oil and the car runs and sounds great. It does have the power steering option and that is it I have been a Nomad lover for several years and have owned my 56 since 1963 and when I found this car I could not pass it up. But am getting older and this car should go someone that likes orginality. Please feel free to call Doug 509-979-3344 for an honest description of the car and any thing to do with it. I have not done any unnecessary work on this car. Hoping to preserve the original pateena for the new owner and they can decide for themselves if they want to change or modify any parts of the car. Again a 55 Nomad to use as a Benchmark for restoration of the famous body style. Also the front seat must have had a crack or ? there has been a small white insert in the center. I realize that would have to be changed to be 100% correct. the waffle is correct but almost 60yrs old

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.

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!"
