1972 Chevy truck this truck started life as a two wheel drive out east and then Alaska. I purchased this truck in 2004 along with a 3/4 ton 4x4 suburban. I put the pickup on the 4x4 suburban chassis and up graded the axles to a front Dana 44 and a rear full floating corporate 14 bolt. I up graded transmission to a turbo 400 and the transfer case I opted to use a 208 for durability and weight. I installed a 4 inch lift kit with extra heavy front spring because I was going to install a plow. I own a small custom shop and welded in panels were needed and painted it base coat clear very nice appealing color and terrific body work removing dents and all. This is not a "bondo" buggy I purchased clean doors and fenders and painted them but as with brand new vehicles there is some filler used in smoothing metal work. Truck has radio delete and the only gauge that works is oil pressure gauge the others I didn't hook up because I was going to put gauge pods on the hood. The motor is a 1969 corvette 350 motor " if need be ill verify this since it was my corvette it came from" I had all the machine work done at a local engine builder. The heads are 67 cc chamber heads with 202 intake valves "the good ones" motor was then painted to match the truck. Bed has spray in bed liner and a rubber mat. new front bumper and I have a brand new rear bumper that goes with the truck i just never put it on because I haven't purchased the brackets.New brakes, carburetor, and billet distributor. This thing runs and looks beautiful.

OK now the negative! This truck sat in storage since it was built in 2004 I just started driving it in august the windshield was cracked in storage, tailgate lost, in storage,it needs new rubber mat or carpet, seat needs to be recovered, gauges need to be hooked up and tailgate and bumper installed. It also has a leaky front transmission seal do to not being driven it dried out I think it could also use a new rear main seal because im sure this dried out from sitting too.

All and all its a great dependable truck 4x4 works as it should starts and runs beautifully and is a real looker. I built this as a company truck to advertise my shop but built a suburban also and this just sat I now have too much other irons in the fire and need to get rid of some toys so good luck with the bidding and let me know if you have questions. I have many more pictures ps yes that is a hole on the cab mount but the side structure was replaced.

______________Oh I almost forgot I have the original bill of sale and the protecto- plate for the truck also.___________________________

Very first Chevy Camaro found and restored

Thu, Feb 26 2015

Restoring an important classic car can lead people down rabbit hole upon rabbit hole of discovered history in a process that's essentially automotive genealogy. Take the recent rejuvenation of the very first Chevrolet Camaro as an example. The owners started with a strong hunch that the vehicle might be something special and spent years researching to figure it all out before the mechanical work even began. Fisher Body kicked off work on the first Camaro on May 17, 1966, and it was delivered to General Motors just a few days later for final assembly. While the model has earned a place as an American performance icon since then, the original was built more to develop the production process and boasted just a 230-cubic-inch (3.8-liter) inline six and 3-speed transmission. After spending its first few months appearing in promotions, a Chevy dealer in Oklahoma got the gold car in December of '66. It was touted on the sales floor there for years, and the first private owner didn't come until 1969. This short documentary goes into astonishingly comprehensive detail about every bit of the first Camaro's history. If you just want to hear the story of the latest owners and their work to get the vehicle restored since 2010, skip about 11 minutes into the video. Or, of course, you could just enjoy the whole thing. News Source: PilotCarRegistry via YouTube, Camaro NewsTip: Chris P.

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"

Sunday Drive: Tracking Tokyo's top performers

Sun, Oct 29 2017

The big news of the week mostly came from Tokyo. All of Japan's biggest automakers made waves at the Motor Show, but the winner of the event has to be Mazda. The big Vision Coupe and little Kai Concept stole the show, won our hearts, and earned a ton of attention for the automaker. We can't wait to see how these two concepts impact the design, engineering, and technology of future production models. Take a look at our mega image gallery post below to see everything in high-resolution glory. Interestingly, the single biggest click-magnet of the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show was the BMW X2. We shouldn't be surprised. Crossovers of all shapes and sizes dominate the American marketplace, and the X2 is clearly the most attractive of BMW's even-numbered, coupe-influenced X models. Plus, it's headed for production, with sales starting in the spring of 2018. Moving past the Tokyo Motor Show, Autoblog readers are apparently very interested in the 2019 Chevy Camaro. Spy shots of just about every iteration of Chevy's muscle car lit up the 'net last week, leaving us very interested in seeing what's hiding behind all that camouflage. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2017 Tokyo Motor Show | Mega Gallery Mazda Vision Coupe | Tokyo Motor Show's big, sensuous 4-door Mazda Kai concept hints at a more muscular, refined Mazda3 2018 BMW X2 crossover revealed, adorned in gold and silver 2019 Chevrolet Camaro: 1LT, SS, ZL1 all spied with updated styling
