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.

Chevy's low-cost pedestrian avoidance to debut on 2016 Malibu

Tue, Jul 28 2015

The mainstreaming of safety technologies that began on luxury vehicles will get a big boost from General Motors later this year. The General says it plans to offer 22 driver assistance systems across its product portfolio of 2016 models, starting with the redesigned Chevrolet Malibu - the one that we know will keep tabs on teenagers for the benefit of parents. Pedestrian avoidance will be another of its available options. Instead of kitting the sedan out with numerous and expensive radar arrays, the GM system uses the camera mounted next to the rearview mirror that is already used for the lane-keeping function. New software lets it detect pedestrians, and when it detects a potential collision with one, it can alert the driver and brake autonomously if the driver doesn't react. Eventually, engineers want to give it the ability to do the same with cyclists. Because it uses existing hardware updated with new code, GM says the application costs "a few hundred dollars." GM demonstrated the Front Pedestrian Braking preventing a crash with a dummy pedestrian at speeds up to 15 miles per hour. Automotive News reports that it will reduce the severity of impact up to 40 miles per hour, but "may not be of much use in collisions at higher speeds." That feature will also join the options list of the Cadillac CT6. The press release below has more on GM's driver tech soon on the way.

Safety engineers will develop and test these and other safety technologies for products around the world at GM's new, 52-acre Active Safety Test Area at its Milford Proving Ground near Detroit. The $14 million facility officially opened Friday. "Our comprehensive safety strategy of helping customers before, during and after a crash continues," said Jeff Boyer, vice president of GM Global Vehicle Safety.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

GM Halts Sale Of Most Chevy Cruze Models

Fri, Mar 28 2014

General Motors has told dealers to stop selling some 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars. But the company won't say why. Dealers say stop-sale orders are routine and almost always made to fix a safety problem. They received the order in an e-mail Thursday, but no reason was given. The move comes as GM deals with fallout from a delayed recall of 1.6 million older small cars to fix an ignition switch problem. The company says the switches can slip out of the run position and shut down the engine. That causes loss of power steering and brakes and disables air bags. GM says the problem has been linked to 31 crashes and at least a dozen deaths. Spokesman Greg Martin says he has no details on the Cruze.
