1960 Chevrolet Apache 10 Custom Deluxe Short Wide V8 Oklahoma on 2040-cars
Vinita, Oklahoma, United States
|
Here is an extremely rare 1960 Chevrolet Apache 1/2 ton short wide from Oklahoma. It needs a few things to be finished up. It is not even close to being perfect, just a good looking truck, the paint has chips and a couple of bubbles on the front lower corners of the doors, even has bug guts from a little night driving. It has every piece of trim unique to the 1960 that was available that year even the trim under the back glass that was only offered on the 1960, there may be very few in early 1961 but I have not seen one. All trim is stainless, including grille, not aluminum. I've seen the side cab sails and this long connector piece on Ebay for $1500, not sure if it ever sold but that's how hard these are to find, very few of these trucks and/or parts left. I paid $1,000 to complete the stainless side trim set just because I wanted every piece that belonged on the truck and it's now all there, and more. The door glasses and wing windows (original) even have the original chrome around them and roll up and down perfectly with all new felts and rubbers. It has a custom console with stainless cup holders and a Sony Explode stereo system with 2- 6" speakers and 2-6X9's on the kick panels. The truck has a 1989 Chevrolet truck 350 , serpentine belt, polished aluminum valve covers, Edelbrock 650 carb and 700r4 transmission with a 1979 Pontiac Trans-Am, disc brake, 10 bolt posi-trac with 273 gears (cruises at high speeds with ease) I have the lock up converter on a toggle switch which drops the rpm another 400 rpm in high gear. This model 700r4 had a digital speedometer so I installed the mechanical gears to run the original speedometer, the cable is good, the speedometer worked for a short time but does not work now. New tires and American Racing wheels. Rear wheels were special order 5" inside back space to get the 295/50/15's to clear with no problems. The wheel tubs were widened 3" also. 4 wheel power disc brakes with all new calipers, the rear has drilled and slotted rotors. New 2 1/2" dual exhaust all the way to the rear with Flowmaster Super 44's, sounds awesome. This was the last exhaust system that Billy Jack of Chouteau Oklahoma installed, he installed thousands of exhaust systems over a 30 year period, he always done quality work, he was very good at what he did and done a super job on this truck too. Blue dot Tri-bar headlights and blue dot lens on the rear. Power rack and pinion steering with tilt, chrome steering column and walnut/chrome steering wheel. Stainless steel bed strips and bolts with black walnut from Johnsons' saw mill in Spavinaw Oklahoma. New stainless steel tail gate chains and latches. New aluminum radiator. New chrome door sill plates. New front and rear bumpers. New stainless steel windshield wiper arms. Again, the truck is not a show truck. If you want something that needs very little work and is very rare, this is it. If you are looking for a show truck, please look at other trucks. Here are the things that needs to be done. 1. Needs the back glass which is cracked right now. I tried to install it by myself so it has a new gasket, I just broke the glass. 2. Needs carpet, arm rests and seat upholstered. The seat frame is in good shape to be recovered, it is the original 1960 seat that came in this truck. 3. Needs the windshield installed, it is a brand new windshield and looks like it is in but it is not. I drive it like it is with no problems but I don't drive it in the rain either. I can't find anyone around here that will install it, everyone says the wide stainless trim in the rubber and the curved glass makes it one of the hardest windshields there are to install. With the help of a friend we got it close, but not in, I was afraid of breaking it. I'm not a glass installer (see line 1) 4. Needs speedometer, cable and gears in transmission are good. I'm sure I have missed some things, feel free to ask anything. The buyer will be responsible for any/all shipping costs. I live about 3 miles from a major intersection ( 69 and 44 ) truck stop so loading is not a problem. Make me an offer. The most I can do is say no. Thanks for looking |

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!"
Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works
Fri, 22 Mar 2013When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
