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. |

2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy
Fri, 05 Apr 2013Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.
