Meeker, Colorado, United States
|
A very Unique Truck history, basically a one owner truck bought new in 1972 in Oregon, and restored by same owner in 1995. Originally was a 400c.i big block ,it now sports a 1973 454 bored .040 over, RV cam with an Edelbrock intake and carb. The transmission is a Turbo 400 that drives a Dana 60 with 3:54 gears power lock rear end, and a 1976 Chevy front Diff with Warn hubs. The interior a very nice with cloth seats and deep pile carpet. The cab and bed have never seen a spot of rust. It was refinished with PPG in the White over Dark green Metallic that still looks great. The original owner was a very special kind of guy, he liked to tinker, and has added many extra things to the truck. Inside the cab he added ,low oil bypass switch, oil gauge, trans cooler fan, also a aux fuel tank switch, a trailer hitch, extra heater behind the seat, and a extra fuse panel that is for the 7 pin trailer wiring, tool box light, extra back up lights he added, 2 extra trailer batteries for the trailer wiring in the locking tool box, and there are several extra belts in there also ,. the truck bed is sprayed and has a rubber mat. He has a box of receipts for everything he added ,along with the manuals , also has the org. bill of sale , Chevrolet org. brochure, owners manual, and a note book of every oil change ,what type of oil used , transmission fluid, etc. ,he was pretty amazing guy. when he passed ,his son sold the truck to a classic car dealer in Oregon, that is where I bought it in 2012, I have only put about 30 miles on it, dove it in our small 4th. of July parade , and is store inside. , I have seen these Cheyenne Super's listed for anywhere from 18,000, to 28,000 on the Classic car sites ,that do not have near as much as this truck has and the care that has been taken. There are several other small things he did to the truck, switches the extra battery shut off switch, a special cable in the tool box that can be used to jump the truck or another vehicle, or hooked up to a winch . It runs great,look at the pictures , and call if you have questions. I just wanted a cool old truck when I bought ,but just don't drive it enough , and now want a restored jeep, we live in the Colorado mountains and would use that more. 970-778-7373.

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!"
Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
