For sale is my 1983 Chevrolet 1/2 ton 4x4 short box pickup. I purchased this truck in Phoenix , AZ in 2008. It has had only one previous owner and has always been an Arizona truck since it was sold new in Flagstaff in 1983. The paint and interior of the truck were in poor condition when I bought it so I did a complete cosmetic restoration to include new upholstery, rubber floor mat, GM dashpad, GM visors, GM door panels, GM vent window assemblies, and new rubber seals wherever needed. I also painted the entire truck (color change from copper) with Dupont Chromabase base coat clear coat paint, put on new tires, new rear bumper, changed gear ratio front and back from 3:08 to 3:73, put new Eaton limited slip in the rear differential and a Detroit TruTrack limited slip in the front differential and put a Warn 8274 winch with classic step bumper on the front. I also upgraded the air conditioning system to R134 and replaced the compressor with a new 4 Seasons unit.
The reason I am selling this truck is that I never use it. It just sits in my driveway. I have a 1976 1/2 ton that I use for my everyday hauling needs and a 2002 truck that I use for towing a fifth wheel travel trailer. When I bought the truck I had visions of doing some serious off roading with my friends, but that never transpired. I probably haven't driven this truck 1000 miles since I purchased it. And the roughest terrain I've driven it on has been some dirt back roads here in southern Arizona.
This is a very nice rust free Arizona truck in great mechanical and cosmetic condition.
The odometer reads 85,00 miles. I do not believe that this correctly represents the actual milage on the truck. I only listed it as such because Ebay wanted a number in the mileage box. I believe tha mileage is probably 185,000 miles. However, I have no way of knowing this and would like to state that the actual milage of this vehicle is unknown.
The only negative about this truck is that the factory smog equipment was removed by the previous owner. (catalitic converter and A.I R. pump) Please keep this in mind if you live in an area that will require smog certification. I have no idea what is required to licence this vehicle in your area. Except for the large metro areas in Arizona smog certification is not required here.
If you have any questions please call Phil @ (520) 458-7712

Camaro spy shots show subtly different grille, front fascia
Sun, 03 Feb 2013It looks like there some changes in store for the Chevrolet Camaro - the only thing is that we just don't know what Chevy has up its sleeve. Looking at these spy shots, we'd initially be inclined to think that there is just a minor facelift or a new special edition, but upon closer inspection, there are a few oddities about this car that definitely have us intrigued.
The most obvious difference on this prototype is the slightly restyled front fascia with a smaller lower air inlet and the two-bar grille. Then we get to some of the car's mysterious details. For starters, this fascia has the SS vent above the grille, but it looks to be blocked off. Granted this could just be a one-off piece used for testing. What really piqued our interest was at the rear of the car where it has quad exhaust outlets that are used on the ZL1. Could this be the LS7-powered Camaro that we reported on back in December?
At this point, your guess is as good as ours as to what we're looking at here, so let us know in the comments what you think this could be.
Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
