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.

GM adds 1,200 jobs at Detroit-Hamtramck plant

Thu, Oct 22 2015

General Motors is making a big move at its Hamtramck, MI, factory, announcing it will add a second shift and hire over 1,200 workers within the next several months. It's expected that by early 2016, the factory will employ over 2,800 workers to build the Chevrolet Volt, Impala, Malibu, Cadillac ELR, and by early next year, the new CT6. According to GM Hamtramck spokesperson Courtney Zemke, 40 of the 1,200 positions are for salaried employees, while the remainder will be hourly positions. As for where these employees will go, positions are being made available across the factory, so GM isn't focusing on any particular area for its new hires. It's a similar story behind the hiring surge itself. GM said in its press release that the "second shift is necessary to meet forecasted market demand," a position Zemke reiterated. It's a matter of demand across the plant's portfolio, rather than any one particular product seriously outstripping supply. Naturally, the United Auto Workers is happy with the move. "The workforce at Detroit-Hamtramck is second to none," UAW Local 22 Shop Chairman Don LaForest said in the attached release. "We appreciate the opportunity to expand our UAW-GM family." Hiring is going on now, with the second shift slated to get underway in early 2016. GM's Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly to Add Second Shift and More Than 1,200 Jobs Plant will nearly double its workforce by early 2016 2015-10-22 DETROIT – General Motors is nearly doubling its workforce at Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly by adding a second shift and more than 1,200 hourly and salaried jobs. The addition of a second shift will increase the plant's workforce to approximately 2,800 people when hiring is completed. The second shift is necessary to meet forecasted market demand for the five cars produced at Detroit-Hamtramck. "This is the result of the award-winning vehicles Detroit-Hamtramck produces and the confidence GM has in our team to build world-class quality for our customers," said Plant Manager Gary West. Second shift hiring is underway, and the shift is scheduled to begin operations in early 2016. "The workforce at Detroit-Hamtramck is second to none," said UAW Local 22 Shop Chairman Don LaForest. "We appreciate the opportunity to expand our UAW-GM family." The 4.1 million-square-foot Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly opened in 1985. GM has invested $1 billion in the plant over the last six years, making it one of the company's most-agile manufacturing facilities in North America.

Looking back at the Citation IV concept that likely shaped the GM EV1

Wed, Aug 20 2014

Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it. We're not sure how that applies to the GM EV1, but we'd still like to share something from Autoline Daily, an online automotive new show with our friend John McElroy. He's been covering the business for decades now and recently found something interesting: pictures of the 1984 Chevrolet Citation IV concept, seen above. Displayed half a decade before the first electric concept that would become the EV1 (inset), McElroy says it's now clear that the elegant, aerodynamic EV1 took a lot of styling cues from the Citation IV, which was developed in part thanks to GM's new-at-the-time Aerodynamics Laboratory. We agree with him that the spats over the rear wheels, the flush glass, and the covered headlights all bear a certain kind of similarity between the two cars. That the colors almost match is a nice coincidence. The Impact (the concept version of the EV1) looked "frumpier," McElroy says, because it wasn't as long as the Citation. You can read a lot more about the Citation IV here and check out McElroy's thoughts in the video below. Find the Citation starting at around 3:45. This content is hosted by a third party.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
