This is a nice '72 Chevy 1/2 ton 4X4 short box pickup with a lift kit. I consider it to be a project truck as it needs the body finished, is missing some parts and would require some electrical components hooked up. It does run and drive in it's present condition. I believe it has a 4 inch suspension lift as well as Rancho shocks, rebuilt turbo 350 transmission and rebuilt 350 engine. The gas tank has been relocated to the rear between the frame rails. It would have been located behind the seat from the factory. The seat has been upgraded to an '05 Avalanche one with cup holders and a center console. A nice thing about the seat upgrade is the seat belts are integrated into the seat. The truck is running on 33 inch all terrain tires which have a lot of tread left, plus it appears to have a posi rear differential. The cab, fenders, doors and box are virtually rust free which is pretty rare on a truck this age. The box does have some dents but again no rust. A few other cool features are a rear roll pan which eliminates the rear bumper, big aluminum radiator and electric fan. The previous owner didn't have any receipts but told me the engine and transmission had been rebuilt. He said the engine was an older 4 bolt main block with Vortech heads. It runs pretty good and has good oil pressure but could probably use a little tuning and dialing in. It has a new Summit dual feed carburetor, Edelbrock air gap intake to fit late model heads, long tube headers and a Mallory distributor. As you can see in the pictures the inside of the cab and jams have already been painted. It is a reddish orange that looks to me like a color these trucks came with from the factory. I have checked and topped off the gear cases with fluid and driven it around a bit to verify how everything works. It has a later model delco internally regulated alternator which is in working order. I verified this with a voltmeter as the guage in the cab is not connected at this time. Another interesting thing is that the cab had factory air conditioning although it is not hooked up at present. As you can see in the photos there is a Harrison A6 compressor, lines and condenser included with the truck but I do not know what their condition is. The compressor does still turn freely though. The main things that are missing are the inner fenderwells on the front which run around $120.00 each new. The guage panel is not hooked up but has the rare factory tach. Also the glove box door, door handles and window cranks, one window regulator, some lenses, and some other trim pieces are missing. I do not have a front grille either but the grille surround piece is in really good condition and I have been told that's a very expensive piece. The truck also has a tilt steering column of unknown origin, the steering wheel appears to be one from an older Camaro. The lights and turn signals are not hooked up at present. I have tried the 4 wheel drive and the Warn lockout hubs and that all seems to work fine including low range. I know there is some work required to get the truck finished but I believe this would be a great project for a bodyman or someone who has another truck to use for parts. You just don't see many of the 4 wheel drive short box versions and it has a great stance. The gas filler is in the right hand fenderwell at present but some people have made the tail light or side marker light open up to fill the gas tank when it's been relocated. You just have to use your imagination. I have tried to represent this truck as honestly as possible and do have it advertised locally so reserve the right to end the auction early if I have a local buyer. I have transferred the title into my name and am waiting for it to come back from the DMV.

GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.
GM will recall more than 3.3 million vehicles in China for suspension defect
Sat, Sep 29 2018BEIJING (Reuters) - General Motors' joint venture in China, Shanghai GM, will recall more than 3.3 million Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles stating Oct. 20 because of a defect with the suspension system, China's market regulator said on Saturday. GM Shanghai said in a text message to Reuters that the suspension arm may be deformed under extreme operating conditions, but there are no known casualties related to the issue. The recall includes cars produced between 2013 and 2018, the State Administration for Market Regulation said in a statement. GM will contact those affected and repair the vehicles free of charge, it said.
