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 cutting production at two plants
Thu, Feb 26 2015General Motors is continuing to adjust to excess supply of some of its brands' models. To get production more in line with the vehicles' actual demand, the automotive giant is idling two of its factories in North America in the coming months. The Orion Assembly plant is going to be down from March 9-13, according to an anonymous plant worker and another insider speaking to Automotive News. The factory builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, but there are plenty of both models sitting on dealer lots, including 216 days worth of Sonics, according to AN. The factory already had two idle periods announced to reduce the excess. In addition, downtime is scheduled at GM's "Flex" line at the Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, plant from April 13-17. This affects supply of the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala, Buick Regal and Cadillac XTS. Among them, the automotive giant has the largest supply of Regals ready for dealers with 213 days worth of them, according to AN. The future for the whole Oshawa factory is cloudy in general, though. There are rumors that it could close entirely in the future because the Camaro is leaving and the Regal and XTS might not last much longer than 2017. The Canadian government and the labor union there intend to put up a fight, though.

Weekly Recap: Racing legend Jim Hall explains Chevy's futuristic Chaparral concept
Sat, Nov 22 2014"I said our cars are built to be winners." – Jim Hall Racing legend Jim Hall never thought he'd be a video game consultant, but when Chevrolet asked for his advice to create a futuristic Chaparral for the Vision Gran Turismo series, he was eager to help. He reviewed early sketches and suggested some changes that made it onto the concept, including the addition of a camera that's mounted onto a mast over the cabin to aid the driver. The Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept was revealed this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show and will be part of a downloadable update for PlayStation 3's Gran Turismo 6 in December. Theoretically, at least, it uses a laser-beam propulsion system and an air-powered generator to produce 900 horsepower in the video game. It's capable of sprinting to 60 miles per hour in 1.5 seconds en route to a top speed of 240 mph. Those gaudy performance specs – even in the virtual world – came at Hall's urging. "I said our cars are built to be winners," Hall told Autoblog on the floor of the Los Angeles show. The 79-year-old drove Lotus racecars in Formula One before launching the successful Chaparral Cars in the 1960s. Like his innovative Can-Am racers, the Vision Gran Turismo project has an eye toward the future. It also introduces the iconic Chaparral name to a new generation of fans, and hopefully, Hall says, gets them excited about engineering and design. "It emulates what we did in the '60s," he said. And what they did back then still resonates. Chaparral Racing and Chevy partnered more than 45 years ago for development work on the composite monocoque chassis, lightweight alloy powertrains, automatic gearboxes and active aerodynamics. "He [Hall] walked right back into this and was able to apply thinkings and learnings," said Clay Dean, General Motors executive director of advanced design. The Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept was created at GM's North Hollywood advanced design studio, and it will be on display at the show through November.

Some 2012-13 Chevy Volts may not have enough battery coolant
Mon, Jun 23 2014The 2012 and 2013 model year Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle may have a battery glitch caused by low coolant levels. No recall has been issued and General Motors is taking care of the issue at no cost to drivers. Some of the affected Volts may have lower-than-advisable coolant levels because of some pesky air pockets in the car's cooling circuit. When the coolant levels get too low, the charging system for the battery powering the car's onboard generator (i.e. the Rechargeable Energy Storage System, or the RESS) may be shut down, turning one's Volt into a run-of-the-mill gas-powered car, and a pricey one at that. The Car Connection says GM is advising owners of the '12 and '13 Volts to contact their local Chevy dealer for a free fix. GM representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen for more details. We believe this is a separate issue than the one that brought 8,000 Volts back to the dealers for a battery coolant fix, what GM called a "voluntary customer satisfaction effort," a few years ago. General Motors sold 23,094 Chevy Volts last year after selling 23,461 Volts in 2012, so that fix-it list may get fairly lengthy. Check out a GM-Volt.com user thread related to this issue here. *UPDATE: Chevrolet spokesman Randy Fox confirmed in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen that the company issued a service bulletin to dealers that they may need to top off coolant levels on certain Volts because of the issue, and that the vehicle will "return to normal charging operation" once that's done.
