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.

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.

NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles

Thu, Nov 27 2014

US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.

The Opel GT is the concept General Motors should build for the US

Sat, Feb 27 2016

Now is the time. General Motors should double-down on performance cars and build the Opel GT concept that's set to debut next week at the Geneva Motor Show. Better yet, sell it in the United States as the Chevy GT. Consumers are showing a thirst for performance cars not seen in decades. Ford has them coming in waves, with everything from the F-150 Raptor to a hotted-up Fusion. FCA US is unrepentantly building loads of Hellcats. GM should respond. The General's cupboard is hardly bare. With the Corvette, Camaro, and Cadillac's V-Series, GM has more than enough to compete with its crosstown rivals and anything Europe or Japan can throw at it. But there's also an opportunity. There's not many front-mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive, two-seat sports cars out there like the Opel GT concept. A Chevy GT that used that layout and captured some of the concept car's proportions and curves would ignite a different kind of passion in enthusiasts. It would be Miata-like. With Chevy branding, this sports car would be the everyday exotic. The concept has a turbocharged 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine, which makes about 143 horsepower to motivate a structure that weighs less than 2,200 pounds. It can hit 60 miles per hour in less than eight seconds. All of those numbers are within the front-engined Miata's territory. This new Opel is inspired by two great mid-1960s concepts that helped put its design studio, and that of its sister brand, the British Vauxhall, on the map. (The GT concept is also technically a Vauxhall, as the brands are linked in GM's European strategy.) One of them, the '66 Vauxhall XVR remained a concept. The '65 Opel Experimental GT was on the road by 1968. That shows this is doable. There's precedent. The Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice shared a chassis with a modern GT during that trio's brief run. If GM ever makes this concept, Opel and Vauxhall should get their versions. But Chevy is the one that could make this car a global icon. Chevrolet GT. Make it happen. News & Analysis News: The potential return of the Ford Bronco is generating a ton of attention. Analysis: That's not news, per se. But when the Bronco6G.com fan site did a rendering of a next-generation Bronco, it almost broke the Internet. Everyone from Automotive News to Jalopnik picked up the illustrations. Our own post has drawn a lot of traffic and passionate responses. People are clamoring for the Bronco's return.
