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.

Why 2015 is going to be a huge year for trucks

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Nissan chief executive Carlos Ghosn took center stage to introduce the 2016 Titan last week at the Detroit Auto Show. He spoke of the truck's new features, impressive Cummins V8 diesel engine and the extensive amount of time and money required to build a modern, competitive pickup truck. "We have done all of this because we see opportunity – an opportunity in the unmet needs of today's American truck customers," Ghosn said. He was speaking about the Titan, but his thoughts echo the industry's mindset: When it comes to trucks, find an opportunity and attack. Even with CAFE regulations looming and fickle consumer preferences, investing in trucks is a no-brainer for automakers. Some consumers will always need a truck for their job or lifestyle. And some people will always want one, whether they need it or not. With that in mind, here are four reasons why the pickup-truck sector is more important than ever and poised for growth in 2015. View 24 Photos The Nissan Titan Is Back Okay, it never left, but the Titan hadn't been redesigned since its launch in 2003, and Nissan sold more NV200s than Titans in 2014. It's an understatement to say the truck was languishing. That all changes with the 2016 model. The Titan will come in two variants, a traditional fullsize competitor and the Titan XD. The XD will lead the market launch, and it arrives late this year. It's pitched as a "whitespace" offering, Nissan sales and marketing vice president Fred Diaz said. The idea is to offer something in the general size and price range of a fullsize truck, but also have some of the capability of a heavy-duty truck. The XD uses a fully boxed ladder frame, the chassis design from Nissan's commercial division, and the wheelbase is about 20 inches longer than other Titan models. The XD, which Nissan is calling the flagship of the line, will be the only model with the 5.0-liter Cummins turbodiesel V8. It produces 310 horsepower and 555 pound-feet of torque, while being able to tow 12,000 pounds. V6 and V8 gasoline models will also be offered on the Titan XD and the standard, non-XD model. When production ramps up, the Titan will be sold with several cabs, beds and trims. New features include trailer sway control, an integrated trailer brake controller, more storage options in the cabin and even laminated front and rear side glass to reduce outside noise. All of this has given Nissan fresh confidence in an area where it admittedly has been lacking. "We can compete," Diaz told Autoblog.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
