Up for bidding is a 1955 CHEVROLET 4 DOOR WAGON RATROD GASSER. Car DOES HAVE A S.D. TITLE, vin # VB55062008. If you are looking for a very nice car to fix up or restore keep looking elsewhere as this is not the car for you. If you are looking for a very cool actual real gasser wagon that was from back in the day this is it, all be it has seen many better days. This car was built as a Rat Gasser with no intentions of being a shiny straight show winner. Every panel, door, fender, window etc. has an issue of some sort. Everything on this car is old vintage parts from mostly the 60's and 70's such as the wheels, tach, gauges, headers and so on. The chassis was raised back in the day and has stock spindles welded to stock spindles to lift the front of the car and are mounted to DISC FRONT BRAKES of unknown origin. Stock rear end has been relocated to the bottom of the springs and still retain the drum brakes. This lifts the whole car up approx. 4 inch. The motor is a 350 4 bolt main that was taken out of a 1985 chevy van that had 87,000 miles on it and the trans is a 700r4 overdrive automatic trans also from said van. Motor fires right up, runs very nice and smooth and is not near as loud as one would think with the short mufflers on the end of the vintage fender well headers. Q-jet carb mounted on stock G.M. aluminum intake manifold, stock H.E.I. distributer, Edelbrock valve covers. The 700r4 shifts real smooth, works well but is stock and does NOT have a shift kit or any mods. B&M shifter is a universal type and shifts and moves smooth and compliments the overdrive trans very nicely. The motor and trans are NOT NEW OR REBUILT just pulled from the van stripped and cleaned externally and installed. Motor is NOT fast by any means but runs great and is very reliable. Front wheels are 14x5 vintage E.T.s with radials and the rear are 14x9 Hustlers two with vintage Torque Twister bias plys. Floor had been patched with old signs in the past and that what was what was done this time as well. 15 gallon fuel cell resides where the spare tire once sat, not sure what kind it is as it is not marked. Much of the trim is on the car but not all of it is there. Some trim pieces are missing. Again NOTHING about this car is nice and straight but everything about it is very, very cool and nostalgic. Car is located in Rapid City, South Dakota and can be viewed or test driven at any time at exit 55, Deadwood Ave. Reserve price is a paltry $4500.00 for a running, driving, titled vintage gasser wagon. Where were you on 72?

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
Man spent $75 on a truck that lasted 38 years
Mon, Jan 5 2015Absurd as it is, some buyers today are worried about getting their car to last throughout the term of their seven-year car loan. Minnesota resident Bob Sportel has the opposite issue: his Chevrolet truck seemingly won't die. Sportel needed a cheap ride to get to work when he took a job at a farmer's co-op 38 years ago, so he bought a rusty 1957 Chevy pickup for $75 from a farmer; at the time, the 20-year-old truck was almost as old as Bob was. After nearly four decades of daily driving and an estimated 300,000 miles, Sportel is still driving the truck today. Bolts secure a fender, Bondo secures the lights, what looks like a whole roll of duct tape keeps him sitting on the bench seat instead of in it. For a 58-year-old pickup that's never seen a garage or a new coat of paint – but did get its oil changed four times a year – that's not bad; Sportel thinks his repair bill hasn't got above $1,000 for the entire time he's owned the truck. He still has no plans to get rid of it, saying, "It just becomes a part of you." You can watch his story in the video above. News Source: KARE11.com Chevrolet Truck Classics Videos
GM and Isuzu to partner for medium-duty commercial truck
Tue, Jun 16 2015General Motors is returning to the medium-duty truck business in the US for the first time since 2009 thanks to a new deal with longtime-partner Isuzu. The arrangement brings the Isuzu N-series models to Chevrolet dealers with the Bowtie's branding on them in 2016. There are six medium-duty Chevy models arriving at dealers in regular cab and crew cab bodies: the 3500, 3500HD, 4500, 4500HD, 5500, and 5500HD. The trucks will be sold as a bare chassis for buyers to outfit to their needs. Depending on model, customers will have the choice of an Isuzu-sourced 3.0-liter and 5.2-liter diesel engines or a 6.0-liter V8 gasoline-fueled engine from GM and six-speed gearbox. According to company spokesperson Bob Wheeler to Autoblog, the diesel models will be built in Japan and the rest assembled from knockdown kits in Charlotte, MI. This kind of vehicle sharing isn't uncommon for GM in the commercial segment, and it already partners with Nissan to use the Japanese brand's NV200 as the City Express van. The General also once owned a significant stake in Isuzu, and the two have remained collaborators even since then. Isuzu and GM Enter Commercial Vehicle Collaboration Agreement in the U.S. 2015-06-15 DETROIT and FUJISAWA, Japan – General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) and Isuzu Motors (TSE 7202) have reached an agreement on a U.S. commercial vehicle collaboration, allowing Isuzu to strengthen its product lineup and GM to expand its commercial vehicle portfolio. Isuzu will produce low cab forward models for GM, based off of the Isuzu N-Series. The vehicles will be distributed by participating Chevrolet dealers in the U.S. market starting in 2016. To strengthen the product lineup, GM and Isuzu will explore the use of GM commercial vehicle components for Isuzu low cab forward trucks and GM will continue to produce and supply the 6.0L V-8 gas engine and six-speed transmission for Isuzu gasoline-powered low cab forward trucks. Isuzu and GM have maintained a strategic partnership for more than 40 years, producing collaborative business opportunities throughout the world. This agreement continues that tradition and reinforces a long-term relationship that helps to explore future collaborations in the U.S. commercial vehicle business.
