FACTORY, MATCHING NUMBERS, BIG BLOCK, SHORT BED!!!!!!!!!
This is a rare 1972 Chevrolet short bed pick up that was special ordered by a family on a farm in Little Rock Arkansas where I originally purchased it back on 2/24/97. Due to financial difficulties I was forced to sell it on 5/24/97 & when the buyer lost interest in restoring it, I bought it back on 8/16/06. Yet there is no rust on this truck now, (with the exception of the RF fender, which I have new) The poor old girl is still not completed.
After years of research & work was performed on the truck by the previous owner & myself, the engine was rebuilt by the previous owner & I learned of the rare options this truck was ordered with. A special promotional package called "The Highlander" with deluxe trim, two tone paint & upgraded interior options along with comfort tilt steering wheel, air conditioning & TH400 Automatic transmission. 12 bolt 373 posi traction rear. Rare factory gauges including a tachometer. $800 was spent on the seat alone when it was reupholstered with the incorrect hounds tooth pattern, though it looks cool. (it should have been black/white plaid)
I have thousands of dollars of receipts & a ton of new, NOS & reproduction parts that go with the truck.
I highlighted some of the new items below.
* 30 over matching #s 400 Big Block totally rebuilt with all new engine components (have receipts) & #s matching TH400
* New HEI summit racing distributor
* New Q Jet carb
* New heavy duty front sway bar kit
* New Magna flow, custom welded stainless steel dual exhaust (installed)
* New (repro) Passenger fender
* New GM Rocker panels (installed)
* New cab corners (installed)
* New Hounds Tooth seat covering (installed)
* New carpeting with sill plates
* New gas gauge sending unit
* New GM body side body side moldings (for entire truck) can't even buy GM anymore!
* Deluxe Tailgate chrome insert with letters
* New Wood grain door panel inserts
* New Gauge bezel (installed)
* Used class III hitch
* New front grille surround (aluminum)
* New front bumper (new in 1997)
* New outside door handles
* New Glove box cardboard
* New Air conditioning duct work
* New dash pad (installed)
* Tires have less than 1,000 miles
* 15X8 truck rally's
* Re-cored 3 core radiator (should be 4)
* New bed bolts
* New front end fastener kit
* New headlight bezels
* Numerous boxes of misc new & used parts also
Obviously the air conditioning is not hooked up under the hood, though I do have a number of the brackets & original components that go with the truck, but there are many vendors that have the components available now reproduction.
Though the body work on this truck is not complete, all of the hard work is done. (welding) There is still minor body work that has to be done in order to be painted.
Please be advised......Recently the truck began to "knock" a little, I do not know if it is a lifter or bearing, the previous owner rebuilt the engine so I can not verify what his work, I do not think it is serious though.
I may be able to assist the successful buyer with delivery for a separate fee since I do own a trailer, depending where he/she is located.
Please ask me about this option prior to bidding.
Please check out my other unfinished project auction,
I also will be selling a solid 1967 Chevelle Convertible project car with a lot of NOS parts included
I check my email daily, please ask questions if you are interested becoming the new owner of my old friend.
Serious buyers only please!!!!
Serious buyers may contact me for additional pictures & a YOUTUBE video to hear it run.
Thanks for looking & HAVE A NICE DAY!!

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette
Mon, 04 Feb 2013If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.
