For sale is my 1983 Chevrolet 1/2 ton 4x4 short box pickup. I purchased this truck in Phoenix , AZ in 2008. It has had only one previous owner and has always been an Arizona truck since it was sold new in Flagstaff in 1983. The paint and interior of the truck were in poor condition when I bought it so I did a complete cosmetic restoration to include new upholstery, rubber floor mat, GM dashpad, GM visors, GM door panels, GM vent window assemblies, and new rubber seals wherever needed. I also painted the entire truck (color change from copper) with Dupont Chromabase base coat clear coat paint, put on new tires, new rear bumper, changed gear ratio front and back from 3:08 to 3:73, put new Eaton limited slip in the rear differential and a Detroit TruTrack limited slip in the front differential and put a Warn 8274 winch with classic step bumper on the front. I also upgraded the air conditioning system to R134 and replaced the compressor with a new 4 Seasons unit.
The reason I am selling this truck is that I never use it. It just sits in my driveway. I have a 1976 1/2 ton that I use for my everyday hauling needs and a 2002 truck that I use for towing a fifth wheel travel trailer. When I bought the truck I had visions of doing some serious off roading with my friends, but that never transpired. I probably haven't driven this truck 1000 miles since I purchased it. And the roughest terrain I've driven it on has been some dirt back roads here in southern Arizona.
This is a very nice rust free Arizona truck in great mechanical and cosmetic condition.
The odometer reads 85,00 miles. I do not believe that this correctly represents the actual milage on the truck. I only listed it as such because Ebay wanted a number in the mileage box. I believe tha mileage is probably 185,000 miles. However, I have no way of knowing this and would like to state that the actual milage of this vehicle is unknown.
The only negative about this truck is that the factory smog equipment was removed by the previous owner. (catalitic converter and A.I R. pump) Please keep this in mind if you live in an area that will require smog certification. I have no idea what is required to licence this vehicle in your area. Except for the large metro areas in Arizona smog certification is not required here.
If you have any questions please call Phil @ (520) 458-7712

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.
Leak reveals GM's 2017 heavy duty diesel trucks to get 910 lb-ft of torque [UPDATE]
Tue, Sep 27 2016UPDATE: Chevrolet officially announced specs for the 2017 Silverado HD and the rumors were true. The truck's new Duramax 6.6-liter turbo-diesel V8 puts out 445 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque. Chevrolet says the new motor produces 19 percent more torque and 12 percent more horsepower, while producing 35 percent fewer emissions. Overall, the new engine is a big improvement over the current motor, which generates 397 horsepower and 765 pound-feet of torque. According to Truck Trend, GM's newest heavy duty pickup trucks will pick up quite a bit more power and torque. The publication spotted a recent GM Powertrain ordering catalog that had the engine specs for the 2017 model year and managed to get some screenshots before the catalog was taken down, and they can be viewed here. The screenshots revealed that the 6.6-liter turbodiesel V8 powering the Silverado and Sierra heavy duty models will boast 445 horsepower and 910 lb-ft of torque. This is a substantial gain over the current models' 397 horsepower and 765 lb-ft of torque, and as Truck Trend points out, it exceeds the Ford Super Duty line's horsepower output of 440, but comes short of the 925 lb-ft rating. Truck Trend credits part of this output gain to the new intake system GM will introduce on the 2017 heavy duties. The intake gets 60 percent of its air from a scoop on the hood, with the other 40 percent coming from behind one of the front fenders. GM doesn't reveal horsepower figures in the press release about the scoop, but it does say the cooler air helps with maintaining the engine's output, and that the scoop does produce a ram-air affect, providing more air at speed. As we know, more air plus more fuel equals more power, but there's likely more to the power increase in this engine than only the intake.

Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video
Mon, Dec 7 2015With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.
