1958 CHEVY TRUCK - 3/4 TON LONGBED APACHE

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*

Weekly Recap: Autonomous driving goes commercial in Nevada

Sat, May 9 2015

Nevada granted Daimler Trucks North America the first license to run an autonomous commercial vehicle on public roads in the United States Tuesday, marking another milestone in the technology's rapid advancement. Gov. Brian Sandoval and Daimler truck chief Wolfgang Bernhard promptly used the license to lap Highway 15 near Las Vegas in a newly revealed Freightliner Inspiration Truck. It was a clear signal that autonomous driving is big-rig reality, though it's still a long way from widespread use. Nevada certified two of Daimler's Freightliner Inspiration Trucks, which use the company's Highway Pilot system with a stereo camera, radar, and lane-keeping collision-prevention features to regulate the brakes and steering. The radar component has a long-range sensor that can cover 820 feet at an 18-degree angle and a shorter-range unit that stretches 230 feet at a 130-degree angle. The Inspiration trucks are based on the existing Freightliner Cascadia Evolution model used on US roads. In addition to the autonomous technologies, it also has futuristic design cues, including blue lighting in the front and a new hood and grille. While there are only two Freightliner Inspiration trucks in existence, Daimler expects to bring the Highway Pilot system into mass-produced big rigs by 2025, in time to capitalize on the market's predicted growth. The German truckmaker predicts the global hauling market will triple by 2050, and the United States will be a key part of that growth. Trucks carry 69.1 percent the nation's domestic freight tonnage and hauled 9.7 billion tons of freight in 2013, according to the American Trucking Association. Daimler expects autonomous driving to augment this growth, and perhaps evolve the role of the truck driver. Still, the company points out autonomous tech is not meant to replace drivers, but to assist them and relieve fatigue and monotony on long hauls. The driver has to stay in control for passing, in city traffic, and when hooking up the trailer. The company said autonomous driving also offers the potential for improved fuel economy – tests showed a five-percent gain – and lower maintenance costs. Daimler also said the technology could reduce congestion on the road. Much of this is attributable to the constant flow of traffic, which is aided by autonomous driving. While the benefits are becoming increasingly apparent, autonomous technology is still met with skepticism.

Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala

Fri, 31 May 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
