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 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.

Engine block heater issues force GM to recall 324,226 diesel heavy duty trucks

Tue, May 7 2019

General Motors has issued a recall on 324,226 diesel heavy duty trucks that could be susceptible to short circuits, and consequently, potential fire. The recall affects several models of heavy duty Chevrolet Silverados and GMC Sierras with optional engine block heaters. GM is recalling seven different truck models spread across three years. The recall affects the 2017-2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 2017-2019 Silverado 3500HD, 2019 Silverado 4500HD, 2019 Silverado 5500HD, and 2019 Silverado 6500HD, plus the 2017-2019 GMC Sierra 2500HD and 2017-2019 Sierra 3500HD. Specifically, it includes these models with the 6.6-liter Duramax diesel engines and the optional engine block heater. The recall technically deals not with the engine block heater itself, but the way it is connected. According to NHTSA campaign No. 19V328000, the engine block heater cord or the terminals that link the cord to the heater could short circuit. A short circuit could potentially damage engine components and result in a fire. According to The Detroit News, 19 fires have been reported but nobody has been injured. GM has yet to figure out a fix, and thus has not yet released a notification schedule for affected customers. If you believe your vehicle is part of the recall, contact GM customer service at 1-586-596-1733 and use reference number N182206310.
