Chevy never built a four door truck in 1966, but owner Trent Beasley wanted one to haul his grandkids around in. So he welded two ‘66 Chevy trucks together, extending the frame twenty eight inches. It’s got Air Ride Suspension and is powered with a 370 horse LS-2 Vette engine. The rear bed is made of Black Cherry from a barn that’s 150 years old. The whole project took just ten months. He added Billet Specialty Wheels with Mickey Thompson rubber… the rears are a fat twenty by fifteen. The interior is wrapped in man-made leather and includes Vintage Air and a Dakota digital dash. Plus three video screens and an Xbox for the grandkids! And the whole package is painted in Harley Davidson Cobalt Blue and Silver… to match his motorcycle. See it only on The PowerBlock November 14th & 15th.

According to Car & Driver Magazine the Li’l Red Express truck was the fastest production vehicle in 1978. Part of that can be attributed to the Mopar 360 under the hood. Courtney found a 1979 truck which has all the same specs except it has a catalytic convertor. Owner Richard Price’s gem has only 1,744 miles on it! The tires, spark plugs and hoses are all original. The only thing he has changed is the oil, filters, battery and coolant. Dodge only made these trucks for two years with limited production numbers:
1978: (2,188) and 1979: (5,118). See it on The PowerBlock November 7th & 8th! For more info -  LilRedDad.com

Check out this ‘69 Chevelle SS; it’s owner Thomas Walker’s first car he purchased in 1977. He did a rotisserie restoration in 2007 and powdercoated the frame, smoothed all the welds in the firewall and painted it Auora Blue. It’s powered by a 454 big block. The engine bay is so clean you could eat off it! Plus Ian Johnson has a tech tip on how to break in new brakes. See it all on The PowerBlock October 31st & November 1st.

That’s the name of this hot ’32 Ford Cabriolet! This all steel car took 8 months of work from a team across the country to become an award winning show stopper. Owners Mac & Shelly Bernd did all of the work themselves getting the car down to raw steel and The Roadster Shop in Elgin, IL did the frame work. This Ford has been stretched 2 inches, the rear fenders split and widened and the 3 piece hood was stretched 2 inches. It has a Chevy Fast Burn 385 that’s been stroked with dual Edelbrock 500 CFM carbs and easily makes 425hp. Then Randy Borcherding and the crew at Painthouse in Cypress, TX went to work creating a custom color called Red Hot Melt Down. Ron Mangus of Rialto, CA did the custom red leather interior and Hartzcloth ragtop. It’s on The PowerBlock October 17th & 18th. Check out the other cool paint jobs at PainthouseTX.com

Nothing beats a beautiful host, truck and boat all in one picture! This weekend Courtney has a 1955 Chevy 3100 and matching 1959 Tomahawk Ski Mate in her shop. Both are painted in Viper Red. Owner Mickey Collier found the truck three years ago, just blocks away from where he grew up. He turned to Joe Towe of Classic Cars in Hendersonville, TN where the truck was media blasted and was in far worse condition than they originally thought. They did a frame off resto and it now sits on an ’84 Chevy frame. He dropped in a 350 crate motor and a 350 transmission. The Tomahawk boat was in equally bad shape. Mickey spent 4 months restoring the fiberglass boat back to ship shape condition. It has a 40 horsepower, ’59 Johnson Super Seahorse motor and a steering wheel from a ’59 Impala!
