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.
