Here is a nice example of a 1985 Chevrolet 1/2 ton Short Wide, and it started as a very honest NO RUST truck, so there isnt any patch work done on the Rockers or Cab Corners. This truck drives great, and is very very tight, with no surprises. There is about 8k on the New 350 Engine and New Turbo 350 Transmission, and the motor is equipped with Holley Carb and Intake, along with all new accessories. The AC/Heat is All New, and this includes Compressor, Hoses/Lines, Evaporator Core, Heater Core, ect, so all is good there. The Exhaust system is also new from one end to the other, so this truck basically needs nothing, and is ready for daily use.
The Paint Job is very nice, and it is painted back to its Original Red, so there isnt any jambing or chipping issues. The Paint is completely Wet Sanded and Buffed, so it is very deep and a Mirror Finish, which gives the truck an extra clean appearance. It has been driven since painted less than a year ago, but there are only a few really small chips, so the paint still looks brand new. The truck is Lowered 2in in the front, and 4in in the rear, really sits nice on the Original Rally wheels. The Lowering did not affect the driving of the truck in anyway, but it looks so much better.
I chose not to put the stick on side moulding back on the truck, and if that is what you want, you can add it back on at any time. The truck is basically original at this point, all the way down to the uncut dash for a radio, and with the exception of the truck being lowered. The interior is very clean, and it still has the original carpet, so there might be a faded spot here or there, but it isnt noticable at all. The Power windows work, along with all the interior light and instrument cluster, so the interior is completely functional and very clean.
There arent too many of these trucks that hasnt been abused and patched up, so if you are looking for this style Short Bed, you will have a hard time finding a better example for the money.. This truck comes with a bunch of recipts, and it also couldnt be built for the asking price, so rather than take the time to find a decent example to build, you can save some serious money and time with this purchase.
Please feel free to ask any questions you might have, and I will do my best to answer them to the best of my ability.. If you need any additional pics or information, just ask, and I will get them for you asap. There is nothing to hide on this truck, so just let me know if there is anything you might need to make in informed decision.. I have also included a YouTube walk around video link below, so do take a look at that also. I have a 100 percent rating on my Classic Car sales, along with some nice feedback after delivery, because I do my best to be as honest as possible.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.
Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
