This truck has had loads of work done. I bought it with many improvements in place. It has a 1990 Chevy 350 V-8 engine with fuel injection. It runs on the computer that matches the engine, using the proper wiring harness, including a check engine light for diagnosing the engine, a serpentine belt system but no catalytic converter. The transmission is a 700 R4 4 speed with overdrive, and it is recently rebuilt and runs smooth. It has dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. The truck runs great and gets way better mileage than the original carb set up. However, the engine could easily be changed back to a carb set up, if desired.
Power steering and power brakes provide a nice driving experience. This truck goes down the road with little effort and no wander. The transfer case is original, with a new seal and fluid recently installed. The engine was just gone through and given a clean bill of health with plenty of compression. (Currently dating a mechanic of about 40 years, he wanted to make sure I am driving a very reliable rig, so he went through the engine and fixed a few minor things on the truck. Anyone who is seriously interested in buying this truck, I will gladly have him talk with you, and he can answer any questions you may have.) The gearing is 3:73 front and rear. It has the big Eaton rear end and driveline. The rear is traction lock or limited slip based upon the jacking warning decal on the back of the cab by the jack. The truck has manual locking hubs, that were new when I bought it. The lift is a 4" Rancho heavy duty spring lift, and the shocks are new, with duals on the front. The tires are Pro Comp All Terrain M + S LT315-75R16. They are mounted on aluminum Sawblade style wheels. The interior was originally blue, but now has black carpet and upholstery. The interior is in great condition. The dash is pristine. The dash remains uncut, and I had a professionally installed Custom Autosound stereo with an iPod connection put in. They also installed Kenwood 6x9's in the doors for great sound. The headliner and visors are in great condition. There is a gun rack in the rear window....being Idaho, I decided to leave it. It is a handy place to hang a hat, rope or jacket, or maybe a fishing rod. Or, you could easily remove the gun rack. The rear window is a slider. The heater core was just replaced.
While this is not quite a show truck, it is in excellent shape. There are some minor chips and dings but the paint shines. The body is rot free. I have spent plenty of time rolling around underneath and this truck is in great shape. The rocker panels were replaced before I purchased the truck. The windows need the new weatherstripping, which I have and have not had the time to install. All that will go with the truck. There are two side tanks in place, but not operational. They can be put online with a thorough cleaning and some simple fuel line adjustments. There is already a tank switch in the cab. I have the under truck switch to set this all up....also will go with the truck.
This truck is very dependable. All mechanicals have been gone through and redone as needed by myself and the prior owner. It could be used as a daily driver, but is way better looking and far more fun to drive. I would not have any reservations about taking it on a serious road trip. I have had many people interested in this truck, and lots have expressed interest, but many would like to see it with a bigger engine or some other setup. A fuel injected 72 is not a common find. It did originally have a 400, and the prior owner did the engine replacement for some reason. But, if the buyer would desire a bigger engine, I have a 454 engine in another truck along with the Turbo 400 tranny that could be used in this 72. It was my mechanic boyfriend's idea to combine the two trucks. I have never known of a truck that someone did not think could be improved, That said, I would be willing to let both trucks go to the buyer who wants them for the reserve price. The 72 could be driven until the engine and tranny on the other truck were gone through and ready to install. The other truck is an 89 GMC one-ton, with most of its value in the engine and tranny. But, it is currently quite drivable itself, with its only issues being wiring ground problems from prior stereo installation by prior owner, and it is in need of serious TLC in looks. But, the two trucks combined would be totally fantastic.
I purchased this 72 truck out of McMinnville, Oregon in 2007. It has a state issued VIN from Washington state. The title is clear and has no brands. I hold a clean and clear Idaho title for this truck. There are a whole lot of good points to this truck, but serious interested parties would do best to check it out in person. I will be glad to answer any questions....so PLEASE ask..... and will put you in touch with my mechanic for more specific details, as needed. I had planned to keep this truck forever, but I am now helping to raise my granddaughters and I farm. Sadly, I don't have the time or the use for my 72 anymore. And I only use the 89 for dump runs.....a 454 is wasted for that use. The 89 also has a clear Idaho title. Contact is best by email, since I farm I often miss calls. Give me the best way to contact you, and if by phone, give best times to call you. Thank you.

Revisions - The listing above cannot be corrected. It will only allow me to add. Therefore, the truck is not a Silverado, but does have Cheyenne trim on the interior. It also does not have an Eaton rearend, but rather the Dana 60 as was original for that truck. I apologize for the errors, but I was copying from the listing from which I purchased the truck, and it was incorrect. Sorry for any confusion.

OK........I need to stop listening to truck people. Looked it up myself, and the rear end is indeed an Eaton rear end. All I know is the truck runs and handles great and has been a pleasure to own and drive.

2015 Chevy Spark will have lighter, smaller battery
Thu, May 15 2014As General Motors gets ready to release the 2015 Chevy Spark EV, it is retooling the Brownstown Battery Assembly to build a new battery system for the chirpy little electric car. The new Spark will lose a few pounds and kWh from its lithium-ion pack, but it will keep all of it's performance specs. The current Spark EV uses a 21-kWh lithium-ion battery pack with bits made by A123 Systems (known as B456 Systems during bankruptcy). For the 2015 model, GM is going to build a 19-kWh battery system in-house that will use 192 LG Chem cells. Losing a bit of energy capacity means that the battery system for the 2015 Spark EV will be 86 pounds lighter but it will keep the EPA-rated 82-mile range and 119 MPGe. The 2015 Spark EV also keeps its $26,685 (plus destination) starting price from the 2014 model. The car will once again qualify for a federal tax credit of up to $7,500. LG Chem also supplies the cells for GM's other plug-in vehicles from its facility in Western Michigan. The Brownstown production line currently builds the battery packs for the Chevy Volt, the Opel Ampera and the Cadillac ELR. You can read our first drive of the 2014 Chevy Spark here. Brownstown Battery Assembly Expands Capabilities Will build battery system for 2015 Chevrolet Spark EV 2014-05-14 DETROIT – General Motors will bring all its electric vehicle battery building capabilities in-house with production of battery systems for the 2015 Chevrolet Spark EV at its battery assembly plant in Brownstown, Mich. "Using our in-house engineering and manufacturing expertise enabled us to deliver a battery system that is more efficient and lighter than the 2014 Spark EV without sacrificing range," said Larry Nitz, executive director of GM global transmission and electrification engineering. "Our successful working relationship with LG Chem has allowed us to deliver a new battery system for the Spark EV that helps us to better leverage our economies of scale." A newly designed battery system features an overall storage capacity of 19 kWh and uses 192 lithium ion cells. The cells are produced at LG Chem's plant in Holland, Mich. The battery system weight of 474 lbs. is 86 pounds lighter than the system in the 2014 Spark EV. The Spark EV battery is built on a dedicated production line at Brownstown, which also manufactures complete battery packs for the Chevrolet Volt, Opel Ampera and Cadillac ELR.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines
Thu, 13 Dec 2012General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.
GM slashes prices in China as sales falter
Thu, May 14 2015Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.
