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.

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.

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title

Thu, 12 Sep 2013

General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC

Sun, 06 Oct 2013

American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
