1954 Chevy 6400 5-window 2-ton Farm Truck on 2040-cars
West Linn, Oregon, United States
|
1954 Chevrolet 6400 2-ton Flatbed with operating PTO tilt--dump truck. Possibly Chevrolet's best engine ever made--JobMaster 261 cubic inch 6-cylinder (see article by Jim Carter at jimcartertruckparts/Articles/261-Engine.) 4-speed transmission with 2-speed rear differential, dual-suspension. 5-window cab with original green paint. The 13' 3" flat bed is a dump bed, which was built in Portland for the new truck and is heavy duty solid. This truck is an eastern Oregon Farm Truck where there is almost no humidity so none to very little rust. The truck was still running on the farm. Since I bought it, I have it stored under cover and really enjoyed working on it. I spent a lot of time cleaning it up, then removed the head and had it inspected--passed inspection at local machine shop. I had new valves installed, and then rebuilt the carburetor, new battery, new coil, wires, cap, rotor, plugs, etc. The 261 starts every time and the truck drives--I drove it around the block. PTO operated and tilts the bed. Brake system is complete with hydro-vac. Master cylinder is rebuilt, but system needs to be bled and inspected for operation. Front pads are thin, but rear pads are thick. The Hand brake has drum on driveshaft, which is functional. Body is complete and in great shape. A dent on the back of the cab against the flatbed and the doors need to be adjusted to close properly. no holes in the floor boards and no visible rust at the bottom corners All windows are fine except both door windows. The windshield, back window and curved windows are all good.
Moving and prefer not to store it outside, so someone can continue the project. I have the shop manual and parts are relatively easy to get, as well as friendly advice. This is a great year and great truck. $200 deposit within 24 hours and full payment within 7 days. I will work with you on transportation/shipping arrangements. |

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.

Unibody Ford Ranger replacement
C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
