1955 Chevy Big Window Shop Truck
Selling my 1955 Chevy shop truck to start some new projects. This truck has been driven for 2 + years now and is a fun truck to drive. If your looking for a plush comfy truck this isn't it. It is built as a nice driver. The frame has been fully boxed (except for under the cab) A mustang II suspension was installed with tubular a-arms and dropped spindles. It has manual rack and pinion steering that is connected to a hot rod column with a quick release hub. An 18" Bell 4 spoke steering wheel makes it feel like you have power steering. The brakes are 11" GM in the front and stock Nova drums in the rear. It has a Wilwood dual master cylinder mounted under the floor to the factory pedal. The rear is a 68-73 Nova rear axle with the factory 3:08 gear. The axle has been flipped on top of the original leaf springs and have installed a 10" C-notch so you could air bag in future (can't get rear any lower with current wheel and tire combo) The wheels and tires are all brand new from Coker Tire. The wheels are the hot rod steel wheels 16" with 47-53 Chevy hubcaps and the tires are Firestone Biasply. Fronts are 600-16 and Rears are 750-16. The drive train is a 350 Chevy from a 79 police car. The transmission is a combination of an 85 Camaro 5 Speed with an 92 S-10 tailshaft. It was made this way so a bench seat could still be used. The exhaust consist of hugger headers with a 2-1/2" straight pipe exhaust existing under the bed in front of the rear tires. There are no mufflers just straight pipes. It is loud and has a good sound to it. The is Stewart Warner oil pressure and temperature gauges mounted under the dash. The original gauges are in it but not hooked up. A new aluminum radiator was installed about 2 months ago. The truck has recently been painted with a fauxtina paint job. The truck has the typical rust areas that could be fixed if you chose. I like it how it is. The floor would need patch work around the transmission and master cylinder opening. There are many sheet metal replacement parts available reasonably for this truck. This truck is great on gas mileage with the 5 speed and rear axle gearing. I can drive 75 on the highway in 4th gear at 2000 rpm or shift to 5th and be just under a 1000 rpm. The wiring is as when I first got the truck and is all wired from the ignition switch but will give you a 9+3 complete wiring harness and fuse panel with the truck.
I've described this truck to the best of my ability please review the pictures of the build for more information.
You can see pictures of the entire build of this truck at my Thompson's Garage facebook page. Look for the album 1955 Chevy
I am selling this truck as is with no warranty implied. Please read the description and ask any questions before bidding.
A $1000 non refundable deposit is due 48 hours from auction end.

Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car
Thu, 14 Feb 2013It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.
2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
