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.


On May-22-13 at 23:25:44 PDT, seller added the following information:

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.

New GM subcompact SUV spied, could be a Chevy or GMC

Mon, Aug 13 2018

GM's pair of subcompact crossovers have been trundling along for a while now. The Buick Encore was the first for Americans in the 2013 model year, and the Chevy Trax that was based on the Encore (an encore of the Encore, if you will) arrived for the 2015 model year. Each has undergone a mild update, but these spy photos could indicate their replacements are in the works. Or not. For starters, we can't be sure which GM brand this new SUV is destined for. Though the timing and its flowing lines could indicate Buick, the thick horizontal bars visible in the grille would indicate otherwise. The next Encore being at least related to this is at least a possibility. Making the case for GMC are those thick grille bars, the fact that it extends far below the lights, and may even rise above them, similar to the Acadia. And that rising beltline isn't that different from that of the Acadia. Arguing against the GMC idea is the Encore, which is almost always sold in GMC-Buick combo dealers. Much as the Acadia was made smaller to eliminate confusion and in-house competition with the Enclave, it's hard to see GM opting to resurrect such an issue at the bottom end of the SUV market. That means we're leaning toward this little SUV wearing a Chevy bowtie. The split grille with a large lower section and small upper section is the brand's current design language, as seen on the new Malibus and Cruzes. The shape is vaguely Equinox-like. And like Buick, Chevy also has a subcompact crossover ready for replacement: the Trax. Now, our photographer reports he's seen another subcompact testing that has Blazer design cues, but in this crossover-hungry market, we wouldn't be surprised if two similarly sized but differently styled Chevy crossovers make the grade. It's a strategy that's working pretty well for Jeep. We'll no doubt be seeing more of these disguised test vehicles milling about the country in the coming months, so perhaps we'll eventually get a better idea of what this is before more official information starts trickling out within one or two years.

Impala SS vs. Marauder: Recalling Detroit’s muscle sedans 

Thu, Apr 30 2020

Impala SS vs. Marauder — it was comparo that only really happened in theory. ChevyÂ’s muscle sedan ran from 1994-96, while MercuryÂ’s answer arrived in 2003 and only lasted until 2004. TheyÂ’re linked inextricably, as there were few options for powerful American sedans during that milquetoast period for enthusiasts. The debate was reignited recently among Autoblog editors when a pristine 1996 Chevy Impala SS with just 2,173 miles on the odometer hit the market on Bring a Trailer. Most of the staff favored the Impala for its sinister looks and said that it lived up to its billing as a legit muscle car. Nearly two-thirds of you agree. We ran an unscientific Twitter poll that generated 851 votes, 63.9 percent of which backed the Impala. Muscle sedans, take your pick: — Greg Migliore (@GregMigliore) April 14, 2020 Then and now enthusiasts felt the Impala was a more complete execution with guts. The Marauder, despite coming along later, felt more hacked together, according to prevailing sentiments. Why? On purpose and on paper theyÂ’re similar. The ImpalaÂ’s 5.7-liter LT1 V8 making 260 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque was impressive for a two-ton sedan in the mid-Â’90s. The Marauder was actually more powerful — its 4.6-liter V8 was rated at 302 hp and 318 lb-ft. The ImpalaÂ’s engine was also used in the C4 Corvette. The MarauderÂ’s mill was shared with the Mustang Mach 1. You can see why they resonated so deeply with Boomers longing for a bygone era and also captured the attention of coming-of-age Gen Xers. Car and DriverÂ’s staff gave the Marauder a lukewarm review back in ‘03, citing its solid handling and features, yet knocking the sedan for being slow off the line. In a Hemmings article appropriately called “Autopsy” from 2004, the ImpalaÂ’s stronger low-end torque and smooth shifting transmission earned praise, separating it from the more sluggish Mercury. All of this was captured in the carsÂ’ acceleration times, highlighting metrically the differences in their character. The Impala hit 60 miles per hour in 6.5 seconds, while the Marauder was a half-second slower, according to C/D testing. Other sites have them closer together, which reinforces the premise it really was the little things that separated these muscle cars. Both made the most of their genetics, riding on ancient platforms (FordÂ’s Panther and General MotorsÂ’ B-body) that preceded these cars by decades. Both had iconic names.
