Ok, I will try and not ramble.  I just want to pretend as if I'm the buyer looking for the information to help me best make a decision on the purchase price.  I purchased this truck because it was rust free other than a spot behind the rear passenger wheel that is minor and very common on these trucks.  This truck came from Arkansas for it's entire life until 2012. The frame is not pitted and the floor and all other body parts are rust free.  This is an exceptional find in the midwest!  It has a very sound 350 with  a mild cam and a 4 barrel carb.  The engine is responsive and will chirp the tires when shifting from 1st to 2nd because of the shift kit in the th350 transmission.  The brakes work great.  The truck starts and runs like it should.  The exhaust doesn't leak even with headers.  The exhaust tips are ugly, other than that the dual exhaust is good.  The rear end is quiet.  I believe it has 3:08 gears which would be good for mileage.  I don't have a clue what it gets for mileage.  The pictures tell the rest of the picture.  
This truck was going to be a street rod project.  I am including with the sale of this truck some parts that cost me over $1,000 dollars to purchase.  I have a lowering kit that includes the drop spindles for the front, the rear lowering shocks, and the new spring perches for the axle flip.  This would drop the truck about 6" with a coil cut in the front springs.  Nothing else would need to be purchased to finish this job. The front shocks are like new and are not  changed when lowering with the lowering spindles.  I am also including a 2" cowl hood!!  This hood was over $400 and is painted black.  I also am including a complete $250 full set of window felt and door seals, weather stripping etc.  I also purchased some very nice seats from a 92 chevy that fit really well in this square body truck.  The truck has brand new Goodyear Eagle ST tires with the nubs still on them!  I am also including two spares with good rally wheels.
I am going to miss this truck and will kick myself when I go to try and replace it someday.  It is really hard to find a rust free truck like this in the midwest.  I bought a new Jeep and don't have space for both this and the Jeep.
This truck is ready to drive wherever you want, or start stripping it down and get ready for paint or your street rod drag truck project.  It is a great candidate for whatever you are looking to do.  The frame and underside is in such great condition, it will be easy to work on or modify.
I also have but am not including, a fully built Dana 44 posi rear end that is set up for this truck.  It is ready to bolt right in.  It came out of another 82 short box that was run down the local track a couple passes, and then was swapped out for a daily driver rear end.  I would sell this for the right price and help you load it up in the truck when you pick this up.  I also have a th400 tranny that is good that I would part with.  I also have for the right offer, a very solid 406 sbc and a four core radiator.  The 406 has a .480 Isky cam with solid lifters.  It has some head work done to it and comes with new intake, carb, headers, and valve covers.  Let me know if you areinterested in any of these.  Maybe we can work out a deal.  Maybe not.  
Please call me with any questions.  My number is 319-231-8974.
Thanks for looking.  I priced this truck according to trucks that are similar that HAVE SOLD on Ebay, not based on what people are asking.  It is a low mile truck that has a ton of potential.


On May-21-14 at 04:31:56 PDT, seller added the following information:

The Dana 44 that I am selling has 4.10 posi gears in it.  I have the title in hand.  Please feel free to call or text me with any questions as well.  I am not advertising this truck locally at this point.  It will sell right here on Ebay.  I will work with any shipping company you choose to use.  Have a great day!


On May-21-14 at 04:36:51 PDT, seller added the following information:

I forgot to mention that the air cleaner in the picture is one that i had on another car.  I put this on to tune the carb for easy access.  It does need a new filter....this one is really ugly, like someone sat on it ugly.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.

Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.

Chevy working on production Impala Midnight Edition

Sat, Dec 13 2014

To put together the Impala Blackout concept for SEMA, Chevrolet didn't need to go much further than its accessories catalog. The in-house connection is what could make it possible for Chevy to get a production version of the Blackout into dealers this model year, with its few bits of chrome trim and dark detailing on the 19-inch aluminum wheels set into an abyss of gloss black paint, black Bowtie, grille surround, rear spoiler and mirror caps. The interior is black leather, with stainless steel for the sill plates and pedals, and an 11-speaker Bose audio system, and it gets the optional 305-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6. The brand's marketing director for cars and crossovers, Steve Majoros, told Edmunds that it could come in late spring, and that it will be called "Midnight Edition." Majoros didn't give any indication of pricing or if the production car will be spec'd out like the concept. If you simply don't want to wait for late spring, you could work your DIY mojo by putting one together the same way Chevrolet did: give the accessories catalog a workout. Related Video:
