Up for auction is this Stunning '66 C10 Custom SWB. Just finished a complete nut & bolt restoration. Every panel, part, piece, nut, & bolt have been painted, refurbished, or replaced. This is pretty much a Brand New Truck! I love the body lines & style the mid 60's had & this truck does not disappoint.

     I wanted to build a classic cruiser that took us back to a simpler time. I think now days we are always in such a hurry & so used to technology making things easier?  I think we need to just slow down & enjoy the beautiful things in life. So I went with a body & style that is rarely seen. Instead of a chromed out motor & a glossy paint ( that's been done for a half century) I wanted a flat outside, glossy inside, & there is not a single piece of chrome on this truck. I almost nicknamed it Anti-Chrome. Even though I kept this project Super Clean & Super Simple, I still did some modern up grades like Power Disc Brakes, Alternator, & Seat Belts!


    One thing I had to do was install a complete Independently Adjustable Air Ride Suspension. This thing rides like a Cadillac & drives like a Dream! Also added a wireless remote control so when you pull up some where & get out, you don't have to crawl out of it, because its setting on the ground. Instead you can pull up at normal ride height get out & as your walking away you hit the button & she drops to the ground!


   This Beauty is coated with GM's color Flame Red. I could have saved time by painting the whole truck a solid color inside & out, but I'm a perfectionist & not known for taking the easy way out. There is actually 4 different colors on this truck. The inside interior is a Gloss Black with just the right amount of Red accents. Everything except for the sheet metal & few things I wanted to keep original is new. Below I will try & list most of everything I can think of that's been done.

Brand new suspension. New Ball Joints, Tie Rods, Pitman Arm, Idler Arm, Spindles, Shocks, Even the steering Rag Joint.

Complete Air Ride Suspension. 8, 1/2 Quick Air Valves, Twin Air Compressors, Cab Mounted Pressure Gauge, 5 Gallon Air Tank, 4, 2500lbs Bags & a Dual 7 Switch Controller with a Wireless Remote.

Power Disc Brake Conversion. New Rotors, Calipers, Pads, Drums, Lines, Shoes, Master Cylinder, Brake Booster, Fluid, & Bearings.

Engine is a Newer Vortec 5.7L V8 with a Performance Camshaft, New Gasket set, Belts, Hoses, Clamps, Plugs, Wires, Cap, Rotor, Rebuilt Edlebrock Carb, Alternator, & Serviced With Mobil One Full Synthetic Motor Oil.

Transmission is a GM TH350, B&M Shifter, New Module, Output Shaft Seal, Gasket, & Filter.

Putting all this power down to the pavement is a Heavy Duty GM 12 Bolt Rear End with a 4:11 Gear Ratio. For Shoes it has 4 Brand New 265/75r15 Tires.

Cooling is a Harrison Radiator & Thermostatically Controlled Electric Fan.

Interior Has New Seat Belts, Some New Gauges, Mostly New Wiring, New Blower Motor, Some New Switches, New Loop Style Molded Carpet, New Windshield, Tinted Windows, & Completely New Weatherstripping Throughout. Including the Vent Window's Weatherstripping.

     The Rear Frame was Boxed & Bridged with over the Axle Air Ride So that if anyone wanted to pull something, the truck could handle the weight. I did not want to put a bed floor in & cover this work of art permanently, So Instead I used a Black Max Vinyl Bed cover that really gives the truck a nice touch.

       There has been tons & tons of hours of body work in this Beauty. This was a 50 year old work truck that didn't have such an easy life, but as far as I know it has been a Southern truck its whole life & was practically rust free! There is still some minor imperfections, but I cant stand a Ridiculously Over Priced Trailer Queen! This is a truck built to be Driven, Enjoyed, & most importantly Affordable!


     I have receipts for everything done to this beauty. Also have pics from start to finish. 

    Feel free to contact me by Phone, Email, Or Text  (817)-901-5064

    I have a Clear Blue TX Title in hand & feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or to set an appointment to come see this work of art in person.

Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
