Some folks aren’t into hard core patina’d rides like the rest of us, but can absolutely appreciate a low mileage survivor that has a couple small blemishes in the shine, especially when the rest of that ride has been done up just right. That’s exactly what is going on with this 1965 C10. The gang at Ridetech put together a bitchin coil-over suspension system for it to give it the right stance and then the rest was just cleaned and shined to bring out the best of it. This truck is a real deal California truck with just 90,000 miles on it.

Check out the photos and if you want to contact the seller, use the link below.

Description:

Sporting just under 90,000 original documented miles. No rot, beautiful patina, everything you’d expect from a true California Truck. The truck had a camper topper on it for most of its life. Explaining why the bed is in such immaculate shape. This truck was built in Fremont, California. The original build sheet shows delivery to Woodruff Chevrolet of Willits. It remained in California until being acquired in 2015.

Added a completely Bolt-On, top of the line Ridetech Suspension. It handles and rides like a dream. Front Brakes have been upgraded to Wilwood 4 Piston Disc’s. Rears remain drum. Stops on a dime!

The 292 Inline 6 will surprise you with its power, the truck has no problem getting up and going. The Manual 3 speed transmission with OverDrive really adds to the fun when driving this truck.

Nothing to hide here, all work has been done by an award winning builder. Have many more pics and videos! Serious Inquires only please. 40,000. Located in Indiana 47452. Clean Title in hand.

We’ve got more great junkyard inventory right here, and if you are a Chevy truck fan, then this one is for you. Chad at Nobody Elses Auto has a ton of great trucks in the yard, and if you are into these round body vintage Chevy and GMC trucks he’s got tons of projects and parts that will absolutely get you excited. We know, because we’ve been there several times and love going each and every time. This one here is ultra straight and solid and we dig it.

So check out this new truck and if you want it, or parts for some other project, hit up Chad at the number below.

Video Description:

This old Chevy is still in fairly decent shape. Considering what these old trucks went through back in the day, this truck managed to survive pretty well! It has some dings and dents here and there, but overall, this truck still looks good! This old truck performed her duties on a regular basis until and engine problem developed. The engine was torn down and repairs were in the works when the project was abandoned.

That’s how I found this one, literally put out to pasture until another day. This one just came in recently, so let’s go take a quick walk around this old Chevy!

If you like old cars, trucks, and automobilia, be sure to check out all of my other videos! Please subscribe so you can keep up with the new videos as I post them!

If you have questions about vehicles or parts, the only way to get a hold of me is to call me, 8 AM-8 PM CST, no texts, no e-mails, no messenger, no smoke signals, calls only.

If I don’t answer, I’m probably on the phone with someone else and if you don’t leave me a message, I just assume you’re another telemarketer trying to sell me an extended warranty! LOL!

If you comment, message, text, e-mail, etc., don’t expect me to find it and don’t expect an answer. Thanks for watching, Chad 620-786-4428

If you are into Jeeps, then the Easter Jeep Safari in Moab Utah is like Mecca and if you haven’t been you’ll be blown away by how many folks head into town for the event. It’s like a whole new city that gets built during the event and the trails in Moab end up full of thousands and thousands of folks who are out there trying to cover as many trails with other Jeepers as is possible. It’s an epic event and everyone in the off-road community flocks that way, including the folks at Currie which is why we’ve got this great video coming from Casey Currie himself.

Check it out.

Video Description:

During the 2024 Moab Easter Jeep Safari we headed out to Kane Creek Trail with SkyJacker Suspension family, go along with us for a great day of wheeling on the rocks and in the water.

Scott is a longtime stick shift guy, who has done tons of stick shift swaps and has daily driven stick cars for years. So when he made a small mistake on the install of his McLeod RXT clutch during a Magnum 6 speed conversion from American Powertrain, it was sort of disheartening. Thankfully, the gang at McLeod helped him figure out the issue and that’s what the video is about. Check it out.

Video Description:

The clutch I installed in my 65 Chevy Impala, Project Evil Orchid, went bad on day 1 of Rocky Mountain Race Week, RMRW 1.0, last year. I need to find out what happened. What did I do wrong? The BluePrint Engines Power Adder small block 400 has been running great, as well as the American Powertrain T-56 Magnum six speed. The clutch is a RXT Twin Disc from McLeod was working perfect, until I did something to make it not perfect. McLeod has been great trying to help me diagnose the problem. But, it’s necessary to pull the transmission to find the problem, and get to it fixed.

I am so confident in McLeod’s products, I ordered another RXT from them, and will send back the old one to be inspected and rebuilt.

Whenever I hear people talking about how hard it is to find C10s, Squarebodies, and OBS trucks, it makes me shake my head because they are out there and plentiful. You have to remember, GM built millions and millions of each of these generations of GM trucks. That means that there are still jillions of them available for sale at every single level. So while it seems unlikely to find one in the kind of shape that Finnegan has found here, they are out there. So what’s it like driving a completely stock 1998 OBS GMC pickup cross country in 2024? Probably the same as it was when it was new.

Let’s see.

Video Description:

Episode 289 of Mike Finnegan’s Garage is a banger! I’m introducing a new project, exploring a spooky warehouse full of cool equipment while trying not to get killed, and driving cross country in a 26 year old truck. This was all made possible by the good people at Bling Sauce and its Platinum line of automotive detailing products. Bling Sauce is so excited about this project that the first 500 viewers who click here and use the promo code “FREEMIKE” will receive a sample pack of Leather Sauce, Secret Sauce and Trim Sauce: https://blingsauce.com/collections/au…

When I see Dave wheeling Mom’s Spaghetti, his full-size Ford, it makes me smile. I mean I’m a Chevrolet guy so I’d probably choose some other body style, but this thing is dead simple, kinda ugly, and all the important stuff is underneath it. I dig this thing and want something similar. As he’s been getting ready for next week’s Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, he’s been checking things off the list that Mom’s Spaghetti needed and today it is seats, console, and a few other tweaks.

Video Description:

Mom’s Spaghetti Needed some comfortable seating and better storage.. This episode continues on the preparation for Easter Jeep Safari in Moab Utah. Fresh new PRP seats, custom fabrication of mounts, 38″ Falken Wildpeak R/T Tires, Tuffy center console, and Baja Designs lights. All in one episode. It was a busy few days!

(Words and Photos by Joe Grippo) The next few stops on our East Coasters Tour of Southern California Hot Rod Shops took us to some legendary locations. First up on this day was Blairs Speed Shop in Pasadena. If you are not aware of Blair’s, first off it is supposedly the oldest operating speed shop in the world, being at its Foothill Blvd location since 1957. Don Blair is the namesake and ran the shop from the beginning to 1975 when Phil Lukens purchased the business. Phil has shepherded the Speed Shop through the tumultuous years of the 1970’s gas crunch, multiple recessions in the 80’s and 90’s, and trends as varied as Vans, Street Rodding, Drag Racing and other ups and downs right up to the current day. In a time when the local speed shops are closing, the fact that Blair’s is still very active is a testament to Phil’s dedication, quality of his service and building of his customer engines.

Walking into Blair’s is like stepping back into time. Don’t expect a spotless, sanitary white glove environment, this is a hardcore speed shop with oil-stained floors, with boxes and parts everywhere. Various engine builds are lined up and waiting to be paid for and picked up.  We spied a FE Ford ready to rumble on the run stand, a few 351 Cleveland’s and of course a few big and small block Chevys. The walls are lined with chrome do-dads and serious race equipment. Looking deeper we see lots of cool hand lettered sings, and vintage awards and photos from years of Drag Strip activities. Heading to the back rooms we find the well-used machine shop, fully equipped with mills, lathes and other heavy machinery needed to crank out high performance engines. Check out the inventory of cylinder heads, cranks and blocks waiting to roar again. After showing up unannounced, Phil gave us free reign to wander around the entire shop and shoot some photos. It was a great experience chatting with Phil about the old days and hearing a few war stories of all the past names and personalities that have passed through Blair’s over the years. We bought a few t-shirts, thanked Phil for the hospitality and headed out. This experience got me wistfully thinking about my local shop, K&G Speed Associates that closed a few years ago. These remaining speed emporiums need our support, so, when possible, buy local when you can, long live Blair’s Speed Shop!

Our next destination was another Southern California staple of hot rodding, Mooneyes Equipment in Santa Fe Springs. The Moon name and logo is ubiquitous in land speed, drag racing, and all facets of the automotive hobby. From fuel blocks, tanks, and wheel discs to custom accessories for motorcycles, VWs, and trucks Moon Equipment has what you need to add the finishing touch to your ride. I personally have a silver Moon metalflake steering wheel on my race car! The Santa Fe Springs location is part retail store, part shipping warehouse and part fab shop, and part museum. The store is great with so much cool stuff in every square corner. Check out the Ed Roth scale model diorama featuring all Big Daddy’s creations, an amazing amount of detail work is in there. Exiting through the gift shop leads to another room that takes you back in time. Check out the huge display case and shelves full of vintage speed parts and insanely cool artifacts from the history of Mooneyes. And upon turning around, there sits Dean Moon’s personal ’34 hot rod with wire wheels, bobbed fenders, and glowing yellow paint. Adjacent to the roadster is a perfect recreation of the old Mooneyes Dragmaster rail job, complete with a gorgeous Potvin blown little Chevy mill. The dragster was rolled out into the bright sunshine and was simply stunning. The back area of the Moon complex is the shipping and receiving section, nothing too exciting, unless you know the story of Carroll Shelby coming to Moon in 1962 with the idea of building his own sports car. I was standing right where it happened. The lore goes something like Shelby, ever the promoter, was telling all the magazines he had multiple Cobras ready to road test, when he had only one! So right there in in the Moon shop that single Cobra was painted numerous times for the car mag scribes to drive and report on, giving the illusion of a fleet of cars ready to be sold. Wild stuff!

Across the parking lot is the fab shop. Moon tanks and wheel discs are spun, welded and hand finished right there on site. Once again, the laid-back Moon staff gave us carte blanche and we wondered around trying not to bother the dudes actually working. We checked out the machines, tooling, welders and all the other stuff utilized to produce these iconic speed parts. Hanging from the rafters was another complete Dragmaster chassis, and a bitchin’ ‘glass Anglia gasser front end hung on back wall. A few Bonneville and El Mirage running Streamliners with Moon livery were being maintained in house, as well. So much neat eye candy was everywhere.
To paraphrase Ice Cube, “…Today was a good day”.

Us BangShifter’s need to support these places, as they are truly hallowed ground for us hot rodders, we ended the trip by grabbing a few more t-shirts. I went with the classic black and white Mooneyes tee in double fat!

Here is a full lap at the Race of Kings, from inside the Trophy Jeep! Last time we shared one of a desert lap, but this time it is the rock lap and that means tons of brutal action. Check it out. And if you missed the first video, use the link below to check that one out too.

King of the Hammers Race of Kings action continues, with Casey Currie’s adventures from Johnson Valley.

We’ve talked a lot about King of the Hammers and have shared lots of racing action over the past couple of weeks, but some of our favorite action to see is the highlight reels from different teams as they haul ass across the desert, climb through the rocks, deal with carnage, and ultimately do everything in their power to make it back to the start finish line under their own power. And that is no easy feat during King of the Hammers, as this is one of the most challenging, tough, and insane off-road races in the world. It’s epic, and we love it.

When the new Bronco’s came out for the 2021 model year, everyone quickly realized how capable they were and aftermarket parts were quickly available for everything from cosmetics to performance. With the popularity of 4×4 vehicles in the U.S. it will come as no surprise that some of the suspension components available for the Bronco are aimed squarely at the mall crawler crowd, but that is NOT what ADS is all about. These guys build systems that absolutely improve handling and off-road performance while also maintaining proper balance and ride quality. This is the best of both worlds and is a coil over kit that you can buy once and never have to worry about again.

Video Description:

Designed as a true bolt-on upgrade for your 2021-2024 Ford Bronco, ADS offers   coil-over kits to outfit 2 and 4 door models equipped with 4wd. Vehicle specific spring rates maintain your vehicle balance and ride characteristics, while the increased suspension travel allows clearance for larger wheels and tires.

We focused on performance, reliability and longevity when developing our direct fit 2.5” race shocks. That’s why we use large diameter shafts and high strength steel shock bodies with zinc and ceramic coatings. Our advanced damping technology ensures a smooth ride, minimizing shock and vibration for maximum occupant comfort both on and off-road. Features like our large capacity reservoirs help reduce fluid temperatures and prevent pressure gain in the system. And compression adjusters allow you to fine tune the damping based on your skill level and the terrain.

There are lots of LS parts available, and it has never been easier to build real horsepower, but which mods are the ones you should actually spend your money on if you are hopping up a 4.8? Nobody wants to spend money on something that doesn’t make more power right? So if that is the case, do shorty headers actually do anything? Or should you only use them if they are the cheap option for your swap? This video from Richard Holdener is all about the smart mods that you can make to a 4.8L LS engine if you actually want to make power.

Video Description:

HOW MUCH POWER ARE SHORTY HEADERS WORTH? HOW MUCH POWER ARE LONG TUBE HEADERS WORTH? HOW MUCH POWER IS A CAM SWAP WORTH ON A 4.8L? SHOULD I UPGRADE THE TRUCK INTAKE ON MY 4.8L? WHAT HAPPENS IF I ADD HEADS, CAM AND INTAKE ON A 4.8L? CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN MAKING MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR 4.8L LS MOTOR (WORKS ON 5.3L AND 6.0L TOO). I COMPARED STOCK EXHAUST MANIFOLDS VS SHORTY HEADES AND LONG TUBE HEADERS ON A STOCK AND MODIFIED 4.8L TO DEMONSTRATE THE CHANGE IN POWER ON EACH COMBO. I ALSO COMPARED THE STOCK VS BTR TRUCK NORRIS NSR CAM, STOCK TRUCK INTAKE VS FAST LSXRT AND DEMONSTRATED THE GAINS OFFERED BY UPGRADING THE HEADS, CAM AND INTAKE.
