Classic Industries just unveiled the new OER authorized reproduction cowl panel assembly with inner bracing for ’53-56 Ford F-Series trucks.

Airbag Suspension Changes Again With the Original SquareTank

For years, airbag setups used an uninspiring cylinder for an air tank and then had to build their plumbing and wiring around that obstacle. Today, with the introduction of The Original SquareTank, that’s no longer a problem. Now the tank is the focus of the install—and it’s beautiful.

Let’s start with the square billet endcaps, which is just part of the showstopping experience. There are a total of six 3/8-inch NPT ports, two 1/8-inch NPT ports, and two 1/8-inch dump ports spread between the pair, giving the user multiple plumbing configurations. They also contain mounting points that allow users to bolt The Original SquareTank such that all the ports are visible for a tricky-looking install or hide them all away for a completely stealth appearance. The endcaps sandwich a tank body that’s not only amazing to look at, but powerful as well. This composite tube is rated to hold over 200 psi, which means they’re up to any of the demanding tasks that an airbag installer or user may want. Tying everything together are four connecting rods that sandwich the composite body and the endcaps. The ends of the rods are flush mounted into the endcaps themselves, making for an even cleaner look. Although the raw surface of The Original SquareTank is beautiful on its own, customers can opt for a couple Cerakote finishes, Tungsten, or Jet Black. These are available for each component—endcaps, connecting rods, and tank—with the addition of a show polish option for the endcaps and connecting rods. That means there are over 196 different finish possibilities for The Original SquareTank right from the manufacturer, and even more if customers decide to paint or wrap their composite tubes themselves. The Original SquareTank is available in both a 20-inch-long, 3-gallon version or 30-inch-long, 5-gallon. Prices start at $255 for a raw finish 3-gallon model and go up to $445 for a completely custom-finished 5-gallon Original SquareTank.

New OE Rallye Wheels for Classic Chevrolet and GMC Pickups

Wheel Vintiques is known in the street rod and muscle car world for its wide variety of high-quality steel wheels, but the California-based wheel manufacturer also offers many options for classic trucks from the ’50s-’80s. From OE reproductions to custom designs and sizing, Wheel Vintiques has developed a huge product offering. This includes a newly re-tooled version of a classic truck design, the GM Pickup Rallye.
The 42 Series GM Pickup Rallye has been available in years past, but the centersection was a core from an original wheel. In addition to the scarce materials, the process was not efficient. To solve this problem, Wheel Vintiques developed new tooling to stamp new centers. The new 42 Series GM Pickup Rallye product line consists of two sizes: 15×8 and 15×10. These sizes are applied to two center designs—one with a 5×5 bolt pattern that features 16 rectangular windows and one with a 6×5.5 bolt pattern with 10 larger rectangular windows. The five-lug wheel offers direct fitment on any Chevrolet or GMC 1/2-ton, two-wheel-drive truck from 1971-98. The six-lug version is a great choice for earlier C10s with the 6×5.5 bolt pattern and they also work well on K10 four-wheel-drive trucks and K5 Blazers from the ’70s and ’80s. Wheel Vintiques’ new 42-Series GM Pickup Rallye accepts original and reproduction centercaps and trim rings. From a quality standpoint, Wheel Vintiques products are second to none. All Wheel Vintiques wheels are made in the USA with heavy gauge steel and expert assembly. After the wheel is manufactured and welded, it goes through an automated chemical wash cycle and then through the powdercoating line for a factory-look silver powdercoat finish.

Expanded Exhaust System Installation Solutions From ARP

Properly securing headers and eliminating exhaust leaks is of primary concern to racers and car enthusiasts alike. Noted fastener manufacturer ARP has developed a number of efficient solutions for the task at hand. These include a series of application-specific kits for most popular engines, plus “universal” kits to cover the rest. Stud kits —which have specially designed “nut starter” noses— are preferred by many because of being able to accurately position gaskets and guide the header flanges into place. Most are available in polished stainless steel or black oxide finished 8740 chromoly that are nominally rated at 180,000 psi—both fully 20 percent stronger than Grade 8 fasteners. A choice of hex or 12-point bolt heads or nuts is offered. Their compact design facilitates the use of socket wrenches in tight proximity to the tubes. Washers are included in the kits. An additional benefit of the polished stainless steel is that it’s not affected by corrosion and extreme heat. For factory cast-iron exhaust manifolds ARP offers both stainless and black bolts by size in five-packs that come in 0.250-inch increments to assure getting the correct length. ARP also manufactures specially drilled “NASCAR” header bolts that facilitate safety wiring. All are made in-house at ARP’s California facilities.

For more info, contact ARP by calling (800) 826-3045 or visit arp-bolts.com.
