Truck Thursday: 1985 Chevrolet Silverado Fleetside Diesel

comments
For today’s Truck Thursday contribution from up here in the slushy north, I bring you this 1985 Chevrolet C/K. It’s a Silverado specification with the 6.2-litre Detroit Diesel, so certainly worthy. All of the chrome on it looks so good, even if it stands out well enough by itself.

It’s a fun size Truck Thursday, with something small and foreign built in the land of big and American.

Quick, think of the Chevy LUV. Is your mental image that of a faded yellow or brown model with an oxidized-to-chalk camper shell on the bed? Dinky tires that cost $15 each when new 18 years ago? Right. Such is the LUV in its natural habitat. But then we have this thing: with 82,000 miles on…

Edselchero!

Why did Edsel fail? Common answers include overwrought, hideous or generally gynecological styling, poor assembly quality and a lack of identity in the Ford hierarchy of brands. Clearly, it’s for absence of a car-truck. Luckily, through the beauty of interchangeable parts, we can create our own from a like-year Ranchero. This seller’s gone ahead and…

“Oldsmobile Other Awesome” works just as well. What we have here is a failure to communicate an Oldsmobile aluminum 215ci V8 powered vaguely VW-based six seater buggy/sand rail. Literally atop all that awesomeness is a massive platform/roof rack sporting an ambulance light…because why not? Apparently, it’s somewhat famous thanks to appearances in videos from the dune…

One of the perks of working in an automotive museum is the ability to see some pretty cool stuff the folks visiting us Hoon around in. Last week there was a pretty good size car show here in the central part of these here United States of America. A customer of ours from the Dallas…

We try to keep it positive here at Hooniverse; we do this not because we feel a need to pull punches, but because we do cars for fun, so why traffic in outrage or misery? Maybe when we run out of awesome stuff to talk about we’ll go negative. All that said, WTF is it with…

Pile of VW Bus Shaped Rust to sell for over $6000
/
/
comments
…and we should all be ok with that. Is it astoundingly dumb that a rusted, engineless shell of a 1960 15-window VW Bus would sell for so much money? Yes. However, that’s really only a good thing for us. Those of us owning anything close to this model might feel a trickle-down bump from the…

1949 Dodge Route Van Sports Cool Technology, Looks like an Extra from Cars

comments
It’s unfortunate that every patina-ed old desert truck elicits a Mater reference even worse when people make clones thereof. However, this 1949 Dodge Route van has just the right overall look to be Mater’s older brother/cousin. The “Flathead Valley Diesel Repair” hand-painted logo seems almost too perfect for that universe. Anyway, this one’s got typical old…
