1954 Chevy 6400 5-window 2-ton Farm Truck on 2040-cars
West Linn, Oregon, United States
|
1954 Chevrolet 6400 2-ton Flatbed with operating PTO tilt--dump truck. Possibly Chevrolet's best engine ever made--JobMaster 261 cubic inch 6-cylinder (see article by Jim Carter at jimcartertruckparts/Articles/261-Engine.) 4-speed transmission with 2-speed rear differential, dual-suspension. 5-window cab with original green paint. The 13' 3" flat bed is a dump bed, which was built in Portland for the new truck and is heavy duty solid. This truck is an eastern Oregon Farm Truck where there is almost no humidity so none to very little rust. The truck was still running on the farm. Since I bought it, I have it stored under cover and really enjoyed working on it. I spent a lot of time cleaning it up, then removed the head and had it inspected--passed inspection at local machine shop. I had new valves installed, and then rebuilt the carburetor, new battery, new coil, wires, cap, rotor, plugs, etc. The 261 starts every time and the truck drives--I drove it around the block. PTO operated and tilts the bed. Brake system is complete with hydro-vac. Master cylinder is rebuilt, but system needs to be bled and inspected for operation. Front pads are thin, but rear pads are thick. The Hand brake has drum on driveshaft, which is functional. Body is complete and in great shape. A dent on the back of the cab against the flatbed and the doors need to be adjusted to close properly. no holes in the floor boards and no visible rust at the bottom corners All windows are fine except both door windows. The windshield, back window and curved windows are all good.
Moving and prefer not to store it outside, so someone can continue the project. I have the shop manual and parts are relatively easy to get, as well as friendly advice. This is a great year and great truck. $200 deposit within 24 hours and full payment within 7 days. I will work with you on transportation/shipping arrangements. |

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines
Thu, 13 Dec 2012General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.
C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey
Mon, 25 Feb 2013If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.
