1980 Chevy Truck, 4x4 on 2040-cars
Greenup, Kentucky, United States
|
Professionally heavy duty built, 1980 Chevy, short wheel base, 4x4 with 1982 3/4 ton drive train. Has a Jegs or Jasper factory built 350, not sure of HP, or cam size, but sounds and runs like a beast. A year or so ago it had all new motor, aluminum intake, Holly carb, headers, dual exhaust, rebuilt auto tranny with shift kit installed. Has nearly new Goodyear 37x12.5x16.5 military OZ mud tires, with spare. At local 4 wheel drive shop had 6" lift kit with dual shocks and dual stabilizer shocks installed. Also install a steering box, frame brace from National Tire and Wheel welded in before any big tires and wheels were put on. The welder said it was the best, cleanest frame he had ever seen from this year of truck. Had a new front drive shaft made with new yoke and splines. New universal joints, brakes and shocks all around. Installed 3/4 ton rear end and front end from an 82 GMC, with 373 gears. Runs and drives straight as an arrow, no shakes, shimmies or road walking. Starts right up, no carb issues at all. Works perfect Don't ever have to touch it. Truck has no leaks or drips or mystery spots left on drive way. All gauges work great. All lights, signals, wipers, heater work fine. The body is really solid. Cab mounts are good, new inner fenders. Only had 2 small rust spots about 2x2 inches at bottom of both doors that needed patched. Bed is completely solid, has no rust thru anywhere, but tailgate latch handle is missing. Body is tight and was sanded and primed and painted with gray Ford tractor paint. Looks great from about 20 feet away (haha). Was more into the mechanical side than the paint side when built. The body is really straight and would be easily painted at an auto body shop. I didn't install lockers, because I didn't to rape in the mud or woods. I use it to drive to work every day, and to haul firewood or whatever, and not have to worry about getting stuck in ruts or snow. I love driving it. It sounds great and shifts great. The seat is good, but the old dash pad is cracked. The floor had one small hole in it I patched. The interior is old, but all there. Could be replaced with after market stuff cheap, and look like a new truck inside again. It's a really solid, manly truck. Not a poser 1/2 ton with big tires. It will go about anywhere off-road, or get in it and drive cross country on the interstates. It never overheats or uses oil. The motor came from a friend of mine at work who originally bought the truck from his neighbor's wife. Her husband had ordered the new motor and had it put in, but he passed away 13,000 miles later. I'd say it now has about 18,000 miles on it. This truck will last you for years to come. It is a really dependable truck. I hate to sell it, but I'm facing surgery and will be off work for a good while, and going to need extra money to pay the bills. |

5 classic trucks and their polarizing modern revivals
Sun, Mar 3 2024EVs are helping eliminate Detroit's gas-guzzling problem. Some revivals of gas-powered classics are getting the EV treatment. But not every revived model looks exactly like its original counterpart. We're in a new era of hulking Detroit metal, and you can thank EVs. Americans can't get enough of their big, beefy trucks and SUVs. But for many years, some of the biggest gas guzzlers fell out of fashion as gas prices rose and emissions regulations tightened. But in the past few years, some of the most iconic American truck nameplates have been brought back to life with electric motors, like the GMC Hummer. In other cases, as with the Ford Bronco, improvements in engine technology and more interest in rugged adventure vehicles made a gas-powered revival possible. Even some revivals that started as gas-powered, like the Chevy Blazer and the Jeep Wagoneer, are now getting electrified spinoffs. (Even if they don't always look quite as sleek as their original inspiration.) Here are side-by-sides of five classic American trucks and their modern counterparts. The Jeep Wagoneer 1975 Jeep Wagoneer and 2024 Electric Jeep Wagoneer SStellantis After a long wait, Jeep released its revival of the classic Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer in 2020. Starting later this year, an electric version of the luxury Jeep SUV will join the Wagoneer lineup. The Chevrolet Blazer A 1973 Chevrolet Blazer and a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EVGetty Images, General Motors The Chevrolet Blazer was first rebooted in 2019 as a sporty family SUV. The modern Blazer shares zero resemblance to its boxy, off-roading older sibling, but it has still managed to become one of Chevy's more popular SUVs in recent years. The Blazer EV came later, and was one of the first models GM built on its new Ultium battery platform. The Hummer A Hummer H2 and the 2023 Hummer EV pickup truckGetty Images, General Motors Once the poster child for Detroit's big, bad gas guzzlers, the Hummer got new life as an electric pickup truck in 2021. The Ford Bronco A 1971 Ford Bronco and a 2022 Ford BroncoFord Motor Co. After a rouge group of engineers and designers inside Ford spent years trying to breathe life back into the Blue Oval's boxy off-roader, the Ford Bronco was finally resurrected in 2020 amid a rise in popularity for rugged adventure vehicles.
