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. 


On May-23-13 at 10:51:26 PDT, seller added the following information:

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.

Weekly Recap: Electric Rapide concept showcases Aston's future

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Aston Martin showed off an all-electric Rapide S prototype this week and announced an agreement with investment firm ChinaEquity to explore development of a production version of the sports sedan. The car could arrive in about two years if the project advances, and it would be built in Gaydon, England. The concept car, called the "RapidE" was developed with Williams Advanced Engineering. The electric Rapide is meant to highlight British innovation, and it was revealed during a state visit by Chinese president Xi Jinping to the United Kingdom. Spec were not available for the concept on display. "The car we showed in London is a fully running concept but not yet defining [of] our choice of battery, motor, inverter, etc," spokesman Simon Sproule said. "Now that we have a clearer path for producing the car, we will be defining all the parameters." Aston Martin has been vocal about its electric ambitions this year, and Sproule told us at the New York Auto Show that an all-electric Rapide could cost $200,000 to $250,000 or more. "It's a study, but we're serious about it," he said. Some reports have indicated the electric Rapide could pack as much as 1,000 horsepower. Aston considers electric technology the strongest play for modernizing its powertrains and meeting emissions standards around the world. Hybrids and all-electric models can offer high outputs and strong torque delivery, which is in keeping with the Aston's image as a sportscar maker. Company brass prefer this option over dropping down to four-cylinder engines. And yes, V8s and V12s remain part of the plan. The electric push is part of Aston's future strategy to remake its lineup, which includes refreshing its sportscars, building a production version of the electric all-wheel-drive DBX concept shown at the Geneva Motor Show, and adding a four-door Lagonda. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Domino's serves up purpose-built delivery car Domino's revealed a purpose-built pizza delivery car based on the Chevy Spark. It's called the DXP, for Delivery Expert, and it can handle up to 80 pizzas. The pies stay warm thanks to an oven located behind the driver's seat, and the DXP is sauced up with a puddle-lighting feature that projects the Domino's logo outside of the car. Power comes from the Spark's stock 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 84 hp that gets up to 39 mpg on the highway. Chevy dealers will be trained to service the DXP.

Top 11 Lego Technic cars to buy on Amazon in 2024

Mon, Jan 22 2024

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. I recently got a birthday wish list from my 11-year-old nephew, and I couldn't help but smile when I saw “Lego Technic Cars” at the top. Lego isnÂ’t a phase, itÂ’s a lifestyle. Once a Lego fan, always a Lego fan. In fact, IÂ’d be willing to bet that many of you reading this right now have some kind of Lego vehicle in a box somewhere, or better yet, on display in your home. While theyÂ’re not necessarily cheap, getting into building Lego Technic vehicles doesnÂ’t have to bankrupt you, either, unless you go for the $400 Lamborghini right off the bat. Here are 11 of our favorite Lego Technic vehicles on Amazon, right now, ranging from an affordable $35 all the way up to $450. LEGO Technic Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Ages 9+ (544 Pieces) - $39.99 (20% off) One of my first and favorite model cars growing up was a first-gen Ford Mustang GT350, so this GT500 for under $40 is right up my alley. At 544 pieces and made for ages 9 and up, the GT500 is a considerable step up from Grave Digger but a great starter to a Technic collection nonetheless. It isnÂ’t the most accurate-looking vehicle in this list, but the AR app and the fact that it can drive make it a worthwhile purchase. $39.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Formula E Porsche 99X Electric Ages 9+ (422 Pieces) - $49.99 Not a Ford fan? Not a problem. This Formula E Porsche 99X is the same price and better looking than the GT500. Even though there are 122 fewer pieces in this Porsche set, it has a level of detail seen in much more expensive Technic sets including numerous decals and a pull back motor.  $49.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Jeep Wrangler Ages 9+ (665 Pieces) - $54.99 This is the set I ended up going with for my nephew, not because I think it is the coolest, but because for the price, I think you get the most bang for your buck. 665 pieces is over 50% more than the comparatively priced Porsche 99X and it also scratches the nostalgia itch for me: The first-ever model vehicle I built was a yellow Jeep Wrangler Sahara. This Wrangler Rubicon has definitely had some aftermarket mods like the front winch, which makes it one of the coolest Technic sets under $60.  $54.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Monster Jam Grave Digger Ages 7+ (212 Pieces) - $34.16 If ever there was a gateway Lego Technic, this Grave Digger is it.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Spark EV in Canada, Audi to use Valeo electric supercharger

Mon, Apr 13 2015

The Chevrolet Spark EV will become available to retail customers in Canada. "We're expanding our electric vehicle offerings to our customers by offering the 2016 Spark EV for retail sales in the growing EV markets here in Quebec as well as in Ontario and BC," says Chevrolet's Chris Hay. Chevrolet has not yet released pricing for the Spark EV in Canada. In the US, the Spark EV is available in California, Oregon and Maryland. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Four recreational vehicle companies in Texas have settled with the EPA over illegal import and sale of off-road vehicles. The 4,000-plus Hammerhead brand vehicles in question were imported without the proper certification, a violation of the Clean Air Act. Some vehicles lacked proper emission control equipment or were manufactured by a company not listed on the certificate application. The settlement totals $560,000 in civil penalties for the companies involved. Read more from the EPA. The Iowa Supreme Court has upheld the state's natural gas tax, which was challenged by the ethanol industry. Ethanol producers, which use natural gas to make ethanol, argued the complicated tax was unconstitutional, as it forced certain plants to pay more than their competitors. Taxes vary by location, and some plants have to tap into interstate pipelines at much higher tax rates rather than get it from a local utility. Now, ethanol producers will work to change the law. "My hope is that people understand that, something may be constitutional but that doesn't make it good public policy," says Iowa Renewable Fuels Association Executive Director Monte Shaw.

Valeo says Audi will launch a vehicle using its electric supercharger next year, with other reports suggesting that car will be the Audi Q7. The company says other unspecified automakers will also use the technology in their vehicles. While the electric supercharger adds to the vehicle's cost and electric energy use, it can improve fuel economy by as much as 20 percent. Read more at Automotive News Europe.
