1972 GMC Short Bed. I personally built this truck from scratch and could tell you every single detail about it. I used mostly all stainless steel hardware throughout the entire truck. The truck is in really great shape with no major rust issues. I had a tough time finding a driver’s side door so there was a little bit of rust repair done but that is it. It had new rockers put on it (professionally done) before I bought the cab but other than that it is all original from what I could tell. The cab mounts are solid and the heater vents and firewall is all intact with no signs of rust. The bed was all sandblasted and painted and is in amazingly great shape. The fenders, hood, and core support are all original and in great shape too. The interior is mostly original or new. I installed a new dash pad, carpet, and rear view mirrors. The seat, seat belts, gauge cluster, and door panels are all original. I utilized the factory wiring harness while rewiring the main components of the wiring. I didn’t hack up the wiring or splice into it unnecessarily. I am very meticulous and made sure wires were run correctly. I also bypassed the GM starter solenoid and put a remote one on the inner fender so that a positive cable isn’t running alongside the engine and header. The engine is an original 396 from a CST10 truck. It has been bored and stroked using a 454 crank making the cubic inches out to about 440. It has Wiseco forged pistons and a bracket master camshaft. I installed a MSD distributor with calibrated springs and weights for the engine and utilized a 6AL box. I kept the mechanical fuel pump that feeds the 750 Quick Fuel carburetor which works flawlessly. The transmission is a Hughes TH400 with a B&M Hole shot 2400 converter and JW performance bell housing. The rear end utilizes a flip kit to match the 2.5in drop spindles and 1in springs up front. It has a new Detroit Locker with 4.10 gears and Moser axles. I installed Caltrac bars which give the truck consistent 1.65 60 foot times with Hoosier DOT Slicks. I raced the truck last summer when it had a 383 and it ran 12.80’s consistently. This year I made one pass at the drag strip without really tuning the engine before the rain settled in and it ran a 12.56 shifting at 5000rpms. I’m positive it will run in the low twelves without much tweaking and maybe even trickling into the high elevens. I painted the truck flat pale yellow to give it a faded beat up look. I then went around spraying some white primer here and there while leaving the hood and tail gate grey primer. I then had custom decals painted on it which was all free handed and really makes the truck look old school. There is a lot of detail put into the truck and it will not disappoint. It could easily be re-sprayed to look show quality. As I finish up Graduate School in the next semester, I plan on moving away and the truck will end up sitting for years. I really don’t need to sell the truck so it is priced fairly. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask. I’m sure there are some things I left out.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.

Chevrolet To Oversee Restoring Sinkhole Corvettes
Fri, Feb 14 2014What Mother Earth devoured, Chevrolet plans to resurrect. The carmaker said Thursday it will oversee restoration of the classic cars swallowed by a huge sinkhole beneath the National Corvette Museum in Kentucky. General Motors Design in Warren, Mich., will manage the painstaking work to repair the eight prize vehicles, the automaker said Thursday. The cars were consumed when the earth opened up early Wednesday beneath a display area when the museum in Bowling Green, Ky., was closed. No injuries were reported. The museum was open Thursday except for the area where the sinkhole occurred. Mark Reuss, GM's head of global product development, said the damaged vehicles rank as "some of the most significant in automotive history." "There can only be one 1-millionth Corvette ever built," he said, referring to one of the damaged cars. "We want to ensure as many of the damaged cars are restored as possible so fans from around the world can enjoy them." Just how the cars will be pulled out of the ground remains to be seen, said museum executive director Wendell Strode. The local fire department estimated the hole is about 40 feet across and 25 to 30 feet deep. The hole opened beneath part of the museum's domed section. "We feel pretty confident that most of the cars can be extracted," Strode said Thursday. "And we hope and believe that with just a little bit of luck, that all eight cars can be extracted and be part of the restoration." Chevrolet spokesman Monte Doran said some of the cars look to be in good shape, while others are buried in rubble. "It will likely be several weeks until we can get the cars out and assessed," he said. The GM Design team has helped restore other historic cars, but the Corvette project looks to be its biggest, he said. "These Corvettes are part of our history, and they want them restored properly," Strode said. "We're thrilled they're doing this." The cars looked like toys as they plunged into the hole, piled in a heap amid dirt and concrete fragments. The museum owns six of the cars while two - a 1993 ZR-1 Spyder and a 2009 ZR1 Blue Devil - are on loan from General Motors. The other cars damaged were a 1962 black Corvette, a 1984 PPG Pace Car, a 1992 White 1 Millionth Corvette, a 1993 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary Corvette, a 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 Corvette and a 2009 white 1.5 Millionth Corvette. Pictures of the sinkhole showed a collapsed section of floor with multiple cars visible inside the hole.
