1974 F100 project truck built in Wilwood Engineering's R&D department
Переглядів 2787 годин тому
When classic trucks were becoming way more prevalent in the automotive aftermarket as high-end builds about 10 years ago, Wilwood Engineering was looking for a few different trucks that would lend themselves to be great project testbeds and aid with designing new big brake kits. One of these trucks that landed at the Wilwood doorstep was a 1974 Ford F-100. After it was around in the R&D shop fo...

Of all the diverse elements that make up the automotive hobby the classic trucks we know and love continue to grow in popularity, and some of the most sought after are ‘67-72 Chevrolet C10s. Like most things for which we trade our hard earned money, supply and demand dictate the going rate for a vintage shortbed C10, and they aren’t getting any more plentiful or any cheaper. Back in the July 20...

Переглядів 43 тис.2 місяці тому
As a result, after years of service, many longbed trucks have the telltale signs of leading a rough life. Although longbed Chevy and GMC trucks have their followers, there’s no question that the shortbed versions are more popular with classic truck fans. Of course supply and demand being what it is, the more sought-after shortbed trucks bring higher prices when compared to longbeds, but that lo...

Taiwan Makes American Trucks Great Again! Tour of Sheet Metal and Replacement Parts Factories
Переглядів 511 тис.4 місяці тому
We've all wondered what parts manufacturing looks like overseas. With so much of our classic truck (and car) parts being produced in Taiwan, our team at Classic Truck Performance decided it was time to jump on a 14 hour flight and brave the food options to find out for ourselves. Our trip focused on visiting factories producing reproduction sheet metal for classic cars and trucks but our advent...

Before and After ... the @goldenstarclassicauto '47-53 Chevy grille gave our '48 three-window custom that oh-so fresh 'n' clean look it desperately needed (compared to with the base-model solid gray grille). Speaking of Golden Star, we're off to Taiwan today to visit the facilities where some of the sheetmetal is stamped, and we'll also get a firsthand, behind-the-scenes look at how the new Bla...

    Up until the late 1980's Kelsey Hayes in Philadelphia made sheet metal for new and old cars. My buddy worked there and told me a place in California would order 50 1957 Chevy hoods & fenders every year. Glad to see parts not made in lying cheating lack of quality control nogoodnic communist china. Wonder how long it takes to make some of the molds for stamping metal. While doing electrical work in injection molding shops saw same guy spend two weeks to make a die for one of thier 500 ton injection molding machines.

Thanks to Bill Clinton and Bob Dole along with several other politicians, we no longer make these products here in our own country. Who needed those jobs anyway, right? At least those politicians made out real well. They walked away with millions in their pockets. Gotta love those politicians!
