Slammin’ 4 Door!

November 09th, 2009 | Category: Classics, News, Paint Job, Performance, Tires, chevy

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.

Li’l Red Express

November 02nd, 2009 | Category: Classic Parts, Classics, Courtney, Mopar

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
