V-8 S10 Truck -- RUNS ON WOOD ! 1 cord
= 5200 miles!!
1985
S10 with 350CI engine, 700R4 transmission, Wayne Keith Gasifier.
This
truck has been built as the next step forward in woodgas performance. Light
overall weight and a high flow woodgas system were a priority during the build.
This is the first woodgas truck to be specifically designed for use with a
supercharged engine.
If
performance & mileage is what you are looking for, this is the truck for
you!!
Chassis from cab back has been replaced
with a custom tube chassis specifically designed to accept a Wayne Keith
gasifier. All the build pictures are under New WK Gasser project thread in the
premium section of Drive on Wood.
CHASSIS
- features 4 link suspension w/ 3/4 x 3/4 rod ends, adjustable height panhard bar,
QA1 double adjustable suspension shocks & adjustable coil over springs.
Lower shock mounts are fully adjustable for any desired ride height. 4 wheel
alignment is very easy as each 4 link bar is equipped with right & left
hand rod ends for length adjustment. . The panhard bar is also equipped with
right & left rod ends for easy adjustment. Machined tube holes thru cross
members for exhaust.
GASIFIER
- has been built to exact specs as shown on Drive on Wood hand book & video
with all new materials. The fire tube is the larger of the two designs -- same
dimensions as the gasifier on Wayne Keith's V10 Dodge. Extreme design measures
taken to sink the gasifier low enough in the chassis to be below the S10 roof.
The chassis has also been designed to mount the gasifier far enough to the
center of the truck as not to protrude past the door. Full weight of gasifier
sits on platform & held in position by a bolt on strap with machined mounts
welded to chassis (outer housing is not pierced anywhere for mounting)
HOPPER
-- features 16 external, removable cooler tubes, 16 hold down springs and
flanged & bolted top cover mount (absolutely no distortion in the top
cover)
GRATE
-- 1/4 in laser cut stainless steel with star shaped relief holes. We installed
one of these grates in Chris Saenz's Dakota last year --- he reports that it
works very well.
CLEANOUT
DOOR -- Outside mounted for ease of maintenance -- total access to the grate,
machined hinges & latch are all adjustable to insure a perfect air tight
seal.
HEAT
EXCHANGER -- 8 inch bolted flange intake tube with close bolt pattern (to
insure no leak connection) 5 inch flanged exit tube. Machined inlet bung for
intake blowers.
COOLER
-- 4 pass, 5 inch flanged intake tube -- 5 inch flanged exit tube. 65 feet of
2.00 x .070 aluminized tubing, laser cut headers, removable end tanks, machined
Delrin mounts. This unit is a high flow condensed version of the standard
cooling rack. The cooler has been specifically designed for high flow and easy
maintenance.
CONDENSATE
TANK -- 5 inch flanged intake, 4 inch flanged exit tube. Machined, 3 bolt
mounting system. This tank also serves as lower mounting for the hay filter.
Easy removal & installation for maintenance
HAY
FILTER -- 4 inch flanged inlet, 4 inch flanged outlet. The weight of the filter
housing sits on the bottom flange and on machined mounts welded to the chassis
& tubular cross bracing to the heat exchanger & cooler tank.
MONORATOR
TANK -- 2 bolt tab mounted to the chassis. Easily removed, bottom & side
drain.
7
BLOWERS -- 2 intake blowers vertically mounted. 1 reverse, 4 suction blowers
vertically mounted to the hay filter. Outer aluminum cover for wiring is easily
removed for maintenance. Vertically mounted blowers will not allow condensate
pooling inside blower housings. Drive on Wood builders are trending towards
this method.
TRANSMISSION
COOLER -- Mounted under rear chassis. Fittings on the transmission & cooler
have been converted to JIC #6 and connected with Parker hydraulic hose with
Parker push lock swivel ends.
WOODGAS
INDUCTION SYSTEM -- Custom built gasoline, woodgas intake manifold. Throttle
bodies have been machined for woodgas & air intake. All tubing in engine
compartment & under truck is 3 1/2 inch stainless steel.
MACK
REAR END -- 680/1ratio, complete for use as a chunker. Note flanged pinion yoke
--- makes for very easy mounting of sprocket, pulley or shaft.
LOTS
OF FUEL -- thousands of pounds of chunked, bagged, dry wood. Hundreds of extra
bags.
TOOLING
& EXTRA PARTS -- All extra construction materials & tooling - jigs
related to this project go with the sale of the truck.
OPTIONS
-- This gasifier and cooler are also designed to operate a stationary generator
or power plant.
Rear
half of chassis has been designed to adapt to any small truck such as a Dakota,
Ranger, S10 etc.
The
truck is 90% complete. --- new, has never been fired --- high quality build.
Chris
Saenz @ Drive on Wood has inspected this truck & can verify the quality of
this build.

The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.

After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.
