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!!

Mysterious white powder discovered at GM Orion Assembly
Fri, Sep 2 2016Workers at General Motors Orion Assembly Plant in Orion Township, MI uncovered a mysterious white powder in two different parts of the factory earlier this week, raising concerns about worker safety. "We can confirm that an unknown substance (white powder) was found on the floor outside of Gate 6 at Orion Assembly on Monday, August 29. On Tuesday, August 30, we had a second report of a bottle containing a similar substance found inside the plant," GM spokesperson Dayna Hart told The Oakland Press via email. GM stressed that incident didn't disrupt operations at the plant, and that the company was taking steps to ensure the safety of the sprawling factory's workers. That did include, an anonymous worker told The Oakland Press, closing off parts of the factory for two full days, as drug-sniffing dogs and crews in haz-mat suits descended on the area. "A sample of the substance has been sent to a laboratory for identification and results are expected later this week," Hart said. "All findings and actions have been shared with our employees." Orion Assembly currently builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, and will eventually be responsible for production of the new, all-electric Chevy Bolt early next year. Related Video:
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
