Austin, Texas, United States
|
This 1931 Chevy pickup named "THE RUSTY SHERIFF" is chopped a total of 8 inches. It's themed after an old rusty sheriffs truck with a sheriff's badge from 1931 welded right to the front from the western series Hopalong Cassidy. It's built on a 2x3 Square Tube chassis, 13" Z'ed in rear and 7" up front. Front end is a 4" drop tube axle, Chevy spindles, with late 70(caprice, impala) rotors calipers and pads. It has a transverse spring up front for a total of 5" of drop. Steering is traditional style with a 1950 Dodge truck gear box. Motor is a fresh build, bored 30 over with a GM 1182 forged crank X rods and Speedpro forged flat top pistons. Comp Cam 272, 471 lift-very streetable. It has a Wieand high-rise intake with a Eldebrock 650 carb, Accell billet distributor. TH350 Tranny with a shift kit, alto clutches and corvette servo with a 1900 to 2500 stall converter. Rear end is from a 70 El Camino with 308 gears. Truck has a basic alarm with shock sensor for those car shows out of town and your ride has to sit outside in that shady hotel parking lot. Clean title as a 1976 Chevy Vega from the Doner car, where it all began. Black carpet floor, with gorilla style furr over tranny tunnel and on the roof. Seating is a black metal flake custom made bench style seat. Painted black dash with speedometer (cable not installed) below dash are the gauges for the oil pressure/Temp/voltage.... Ignition toggle mounted on dash along with a switch that controls high and low beams, and another switch that controls Taillights and dash lights. Small horn button controls Ahhooga horn mounted under the bed of the truck. Gas tank is a vintage FireStone keg that hold 15.5 gallons. Truck weighs just under 2k pounds with me in it. It doesnt take much for this thing to get after it. Awesome gas mileage too. Bed of the truck has a solid built metal frame structure with a wooden board over that and on top of that are fence pickets cut to size then treated to look like a vintage wooden bed. Gold metal flake steering wheel (detachable for security) and matching gold flaked shift knob. The tallest part of the truck stands 48 inches, Its mean,low,loud and fast. Comfort is sacrificed for style. I have driven this truck hundreds of miles to and from shows with out an issue every time. I trust this truck to drive anywhere. Im 6'0 tall and 215lbs and fit in here just fine. Sit in it like a Go-Kart, drive with both feet and hold on, cause this one books it down the highway. Low maintenance on a truck like this with everything out in the open, fluid changes are a breeze. 15 inch steel wheels wrapped in Coker bias ply wide whites. I went with bias ply tires because i like the nostalgic look of them. but if you have never driven a car with bias plys, it takes some getting use to. (they follow any pattern in the road) Truck has been on the Cover and Featured in the #64 July issue of OL' SKOOL RODZ still on the shelves in some stores. Was used on the tv series HGTV'd to lead the cast to the set of the show in the intro. Was also used in multiple Discover channel Outlaw Garage episodes with Jesse James when he was with Austin Speed Shop. Small write up in RAT ROD MAGAZINE and other local mags. Used in LUCKY 13 BRAND photo shoot, the list goes on. Multiple show winner and complete attention getter.
Please ask any other questions you may have. I love this truck, and a lot of love when into it, its simple yet extreme and feel its tastefully done, built right, and not built with crap from the kitchen and front yard, like so many others out there built to look like trash. Happy bidding. MOST CURRENT PHOTOS HAVE VENT HOLES IN VISOR WITH GOLD STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE PLENTY OF OTHER PHOTOS AND VIDEOS, JUST MESSAGE ME WITH ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE!

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
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.
