this truck belongs to my granddaughter, her other grandfather left it to her when he passed away about 7 years ago when she was 8 .she  does not want the truck to drive so I am helping her sell it. when he first restored the truck he drove it often .and in parades about 3 or 4 times a year. after he passed the family still drove it in the  parades . i guess everyone lost interest and it sat for the last 3 years. I brought it to my house to clean it up and get it ready to sale, when I discovered the engine was cracked beside the petcock. what a shame because it had the original 216 in it. luckily he had a couple 6cyl engines sitting in his garage . so I got a 1956 235 and dropped it in. I really don't know any thing about the engine except what I could see and what I was told by a family member. he said it had been rebuilt .it does look to have a new valve pan gasket as well as a new head gasket. I installed a new fuel pump ,new plugs , new water pump, and because they are hard to find a new water pump pulley ( aluminum) and a new starter switch (solenoid) new fan belt and new lower radiator hose. I used the original 3 speed which had a very good clutch ,pressure plate and throw out bearing. the battery is shot so to get it started I drop in a 12 volt . after  a couple of turns and a shot of gas it starts . it runs pretty good but the carb takes a little feathering to get it going.it is a solid lift engine so it rattles when you start it but as it warms it sound better. the truck is very very very solid I found 1 hole in the floor in front of the battery lid. the bed needs attention . when he restored the truck he put a lot of new parts on it including new bumpers , new headlight trims , new tailgate chains , new mirror, new seat , new floor mat and insulation ,new patch panel at the shifter ( fiberglass) ,new turn signal switch , new door panels ( not in good shape now) ,and probably some things I am leaving out. it has the 2 piece 8 lug rims .glass is not broken , but turning around the edges . no bondo that I can tell .guy who painted it did a lousy job. dash looks vantastic , glove box opens ,brakes work pretty good but while I was under it I saw where the pass rear was blocked off , wheel cyl probably bad, but still stops . I would buy this truck myself but because I am married into the family I would not buy it for 20,000$ because of what some would say. with that being said there can be no trades  for the same reason. and she is not yet old enough to make a decision on a trade, so an auction is the only fair way to do it . I will assist with shipping as much as I can(which does not mean ill haul it 500 miles) but if I move it ,it has to be on Saturday .and we have to fully agree on price and distance BEFORE the auction ends and not 5 minutes before either. I am a nice guy ,but I don't have time for your low ball offers or your emails about how you can buy one cheaper. I have what I consider a reasonable reserve but if the auction ends 25$ below the reserve I may contact the high bidder  , but if AND I MEAN IF YOU HAVE A SERIOUS QUESTION you can call my cell 606-224-0370 from 7 to 6 .otherwise email me and ill get back to you that evening. thanks for your interest.


On Nov-06-13 at 13:14:45 PST, seller added the following information:

forgot, I will include original engine and all left over parts, in case someone might want to restore it .( block could be brazed if you've a mind to )it did run fine. also if the weather permits Saturday I will pull the carb and clean it ,buy I know the leather pump is dry rotted. this truck is by no means junk, the body is very strait and as best I can tell rust free with the exception of the one hole in the floor. there is enough metal in this truck to make 2 more by todays standard. you will not be disappointed with this truck, if its not what I say you don't own it. I have 20 more pictures so if you need to se something email me and ill send more . thanks

Diesel details: Comparing Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, Chevy Silverado Duramax, Ford F-150 Powerstroke

Thu, Jun 13 2019

With specifications for the 2019 Ford F-150 Power Stroke diesel already out, and the details on the 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel and Chevy Silverado Duramax (and its GMC Sierra twin) trickling out, we felt it was a good time to start comparing the full-size trucks' light-duty diesels. Bear in mind, we've only driven one of these new diesel trucks, so we'll be sticking to numbers for now. Some numbers haven't been announced yet, either, but stay tuned, because we'll be updating this post with additional specifications as they become available. And if you want to compare any other versions of these trucks with other vehicles, be sure to check out our comparison tool. Now let's start comparing, starting with our big chart of numbers below. As we can plainly see, these trucks are quite closely matched. Each one has six cylinders, a displacement of 3.0 liters and a turbocharger to boost it. The output of each is somewhat close, too. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel is the torque king at 480 pound-feet, 20 more than the GM trucks and 40 more than the Ford. The GM trucks win on power, though, with 277 ponies, 17 more than the Ram, and 27 more than the Ford. GM does report that you get their trucks' peak 460 pound-feet of torque from 1,500 rpm to 3,000 rpm, whereas the others only report peak torque at a particular point in the rev band, but all of these trucks should have wide, flat torque curves as you would expect from modern turbodiesels. 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel View 8 Photos Engine output is only one part of the truck performance equation. We also have towing and payload capacity, as well as fuel economy. With towing, the Ram 1500 is the current leader with a maximum capacity of 12,560 pounds. That tops the Ford F-150's 11,400-pound tow rating by well over 1,000 pounds. The F-150 can carry 2,020 pounds in its bed, but we don't know yet whether that's better or worse than the Ram or the GM trucks. We also don't have numbers for the GM trucks' towing capacities. View 9 Photos As for fuel economy, the Ford F-150 manages a thoroughly impressive 22 mpg in the city and 30 on the highway with two-wheel drive. Choosing four-wheel drive drops those numbers to 20 and 25 respectively. The fuel economy numbers for the Ram, Chevy and GMC haven't been revealed yet, but for some comparison, we can look at the old Ram EcoDiesel. That truck's best fuel economy was 20 in the city and 27 on the highway with two-wheel drive.
