Selling it for sure this time! http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/picture.php?albumid=8&pictureid=2438 1982 Chevrolet C20 (3/4 Ton) - 8ft bed CA/FL truck until 2008. Less than 55k orig miles on odo. Bought/shipped from LA through eBay 2/14/07 for $3800. Numerous bucks in upgrades, maintenance. 6.2L Diesel 2WD TH400 in great shape, new TC, flexplate (after starter motor chewed many of the teeth) Ton of maintenance items (lifetime alternator, Water pump, starter motor) Professional R-134 A/C conversion blows cold Power Windows/Locks No radio 20" Weld forged aluminum wheels - Goodyear Wrangler Load E tires.

El Karacho1647545492 Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 are CLEETUS plates included? GLWS for the nicest two-tone paint combo GM ever built (same as my old '59 pickup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spankis Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) I'm interested, any pics/description of the rust? Also, I understand these motors get surprisingly good mileage, any estimate of what you generally netted? EDIT: I'm VERY interested. Is there a time I could come check it out this week?

Otis Nice Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Beautiful truck. Love it. Wish I could grab it from you. GLWS Clay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 I've had a great response from good CR peeps over the weekend, but no one bought it yet. I have the truck I want in sight and want to sell Cleetus this week. CR price for this week: $3200. Consider it a 20% discount off of list. Next week is really busy for me and I'll be in and out of town... If someone finds a buyer at $3500 or higher, I will split everything above that price 50/50 with you. Please feel free to post this on other car forums to find someone that will get you paid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Clay, does this have to be plugged in if the outside temp is under a certain degree? Have any interior pics? (I know what under the hood looks like :) ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 I'll get some interior shots. It has a block heater but I've never plugged it in. When I had electrical issues back in 2008-2009 it would be a tough start in the winter but since replacing all the major wiring harnesses and starter motor I haven't had any problems. AC Delco 60g self-limiting glow plugs so I just hold the glow plug button for 20-30seconds and it fires up, maybe another 10 sec of glow after that when it's REALLY cold.

zeitgeist57 Posted August 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 So, you're stock portfolio is down 10%, and you're looking to buy since there's blood in the streets... Might I suggest a truck that pays you back? With guaranteed appreciation in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) I looked this truck over last night. I know these old trucks very well, and I'll tell CR what I told Clay. You won't find another 82 in Central Ohio this solid for this price. There are about 3-4 spots that need attention on the body, BUT the frame and undercarriage is EXTREMELY solid. C20, 14 bolt, 4.11 gear, TH400, SOLID bed = good buy. Buy it. Edited August 20, 2011 by nurkvinny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johny Utah Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Where is the truck located? Close to Galloway? I'm interested in the truck. Are there wires for a radio to be put in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Where is the truck located? Close to Galloway? I'm interested in the truck. Are there wires for a radio to be put in? I do see a harness, but you'll need to wire in your own speakers. Door is uncut, and dash 3.25" speaker locations were vacated by me when I took out the non-functioning AM radio. Truck is in Upper Arlington, not far from The Wellington School if you want a rough estimate. PM me for more details. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
