1980 Chevy Truck, 4x4 on 2040-cars
Greenup, Kentucky, United States
|
Professionally heavy duty built, 1980 Chevy, short wheel base, 4x4 with 1982 3/4 ton drive train. Has a Jegs or Jasper factory built 350, not sure of HP, or cam size, but sounds and runs like a beast. A year or so ago it had all new motor, aluminum intake, Holly carb, headers, dual exhaust, rebuilt auto tranny with shift kit installed. Has nearly new Goodyear 37x12.5x16.5 military OZ mud tires, with spare. At local 4 wheel drive shop had 6" lift kit with dual shocks and dual stabilizer shocks installed. Also install a steering box, frame brace from National Tire and Wheel welded in before any big tires and wheels were put on. The welder said it was the best, cleanest frame he had ever seen from this year of truck. Had a new front drive shaft made with new yoke and splines. New universal joints, brakes and shocks all around. Installed 3/4 ton rear end and front end from an 82 GMC, with 373 gears. Runs and drives straight as an arrow, no shakes, shimmies or road walking. Starts right up, no carb issues at all. Works perfect Don't ever have to touch it. Truck has no leaks or drips or mystery spots left on drive way. All gauges work great. All lights, signals, wipers, heater work fine. The body is really solid. Cab mounts are good, new inner fenders. Only had 2 small rust spots about 2x2 inches at bottom of both doors that needed patched. Bed is completely solid, has no rust thru anywhere, but tailgate latch handle is missing. Body is tight and was sanded and primed and painted with gray Ford tractor paint. Looks great from about 20 feet away (haha). Was more into the mechanical side than the paint side when built. The body is really straight and would be easily painted at an auto body shop. I didn't install lockers, because I didn't to rape in the mud or woods. I use it to drive to work every day, and to haul firewood or whatever, and not have to worry about getting stuck in ruts or snow. I love driving it. It sounds great and shifts great. The seat is good, but the old dash pad is cracked. The floor had one small hole in it I patched. The interior is old, but all there. Could be replaced with after market stuff cheap, and look like a new truck inside again. It's a really solid, manly truck. Not a poser 1/2 ton with big tires. It will go about anywhere off-road, or get in it and drive cross country on the interstates. It never overheats or uses oil. The motor came from a friend of mine at work who originally bought the truck from his neighbor's wife. Her husband had ordered the new motor and had it put in, but he passed away 13,000 miles later. I'd say it now has about 18,000 miles on it. This truck will last you for years to come. It is a really dependable truck. I hate to sell it, but I'm facing surgery and will be off work for a good while, and going to need extra money to pay the bills. |

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild
Tue, 12 Feb 2013This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
