FACTORY TASK FORCE TRUCK WITH BUILT TAPPET HEAD 350 EDELBROCK PERFORMER PACKAGE AND PLENTY OF TORQUE

MILD HEADERS & REVERSED GLASS PACKS WITH A REAL SWEET RASPY BUT NOT TOO LOUD TONE

700R4 TRANSMISSION WITH MILD SHIFT KIT ATTACHED TO A FORD 9" REAR END

8 FOOT LONGBED WITH REAR NOTCHED FRAME AND AIR BAGGED FOR THAT PERFECT STANCE

TRUE BORN & RAISED CALIFORNIA TRUCK WITH VINTAGE BLACK ON YELLOW PLATES 

 
 

 


 

Looking for a clean, dependable American classic with loads of character? This is the the big window cab with the long bed, an 8 footer which makes for a more proportionate cab to bed setup than the average short bed. She has a small block tappet head 350 rebuilt about 15k miles ago with the Edelbrock performer kit, a high torque cam with a compression of 9.5:1 a new Lokar shifter attached to a 700R4 with a Ford 9 inch rear-end. Stewart Warner green line gauges. A fresh set of Good Year bias-ply's, the real sweet ones with diamonds on the sidewalls, and a clean freshly painted bone colored set of steel wheels make this thing pop. 

Rear frame is notched and on air bags, which really gives her the perfect stance and reversed glass packs give her the perfect exhaust note. The all original front end with drum brakes coupled with the bias-ply's give this truck that fantastic road feel that really makes driving her a lot of fun. I've never even considered making a change to this setup because its part of what really makes this truck so rewarding to drive in my opinion, being able to feel the road. I had some roller bearings custom made a few years back as the old ball bearings couldn't handle the 75 mph runs that this trucks drivetrain likes to run at. Heaps of power and that's makes up a big part of her personality. 

Paint is a semi-gloss / matte blue PPG paint job done five years ago. Overall in good shape with a few battle scratches and nicks and a few small rust areas, one of the lower cab corners is popping, normal for these series of trucks but still in good shape. Chrome is original with some pitting, the front grill as you can see in pics has some flaked off with topical rust but I personally like it just how it is, character. The bed is a wormy maple that I picked up a couple years back from a guy out of Kentucky and its laid down with new stainless strips. 

This truck is plain badass. I think I've put enough photos up to tell the story, but let me know if you want to email you anymore or if you'd like me to send you a video. *re-listing due to non-performing "somebody stole my cell phone" young buck*

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum

Tue, Aug 27 2019

Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles.  The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.

Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota FCV Rally Car To Compete, Barra bullish on Chevy Volt

Fri, Oct 31 2014

The Toyota FCV will compete in the last stage of the 2014 Japanese Rally Championship. The sport-tuned hydrogen-powered car will tackle the 177-mile Shinshiro Rally on November 1 and 2, emitting no greenhouse gases in the process. The rally course will help prove the safety of the vehicle before it goes on sale in Japan in the next several months. The Toyota FCV, rumored to be called "Mirai" in Japan, will begin sales there before April, according to Toyota, and in the summer in the US and Europe. Read more in the press release below. Carsharing is becoming more popular, and more visible, throughout the world, including the US. According to WardsAuto columnist John McElroy, 18 percent of US drivers have used some sort of carsharing service. Additionally, he says 60 percent of Americans are familiar with Zipcar and Uber. Mercedes' Harald Kroeger says promotions like free parking for carshares in Stuttgart are encouraging growth for Daimler's carsharing service, Car2go. Read more at WardsAuto. Ethanol is being help up by rail transport, according to ethanol producer Green Plains. More and more stations are carrying E15 blend gasoline, but grain producers have complained that crude oil is given higher priority by the rail lines shipping it, which rail companies deny. Union Pacific and BNSF Railway say they are stepping up service to make sure that ethanol can be shipped reliably to customers. Read more at Omaha World-Herald. General Motors "has placed a significant bet [on] the electrification of the automobile," says CEO Mary Barra. In a speech to the Detroit Economic Club this week, she spoke about the Chevrolet Volt, and its importance to GM's future. While Barra admits the Volt's success has been "not everything we wanted," it has provided experience, and shows that EVs have "an important role in the future of GM." The new Volt is more refined, stores more energy, has longer range, uses less fuel and is a big investment for Michigan. She announced that the new Volt's electric drive system will be built in Warren, and that all of its major components will be made in Michigan. "Silicon Valley doesn't have a corner on the market for innovation, creativity and drive," says Barra. "These qualities exist here – in this region – as well."

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
