1972 Chevy K10 4x4 frame off restored pickup completed three weeks ago with 350 test/tune miles on it. This truck
was built for a family member to be a daily driving show quality vehicle. This truck was spared no expense, dream
vehicle intended to keep for many years, unforeseen circumstances force sale. I’ve restored 3 dozen 67-72 Chevy
& GMC trucks, this is the best one I’ve done, this truck was the best core to start with I’ve seen. I’ll
briefly describe the major points below, more detail in the video. I live in the prime region for rust free trucks,
I found this truck in the high desert of eastern Oregon, 1 family owned. This truck blew its original motor in
1981 with 36k original miles, was parked in a garage until I bought it in 2014. Not one pin hole of rot in this
entire truck prior to restoration, all metal is original to truck. This is a factory 1972 4x4 pickup. Everything is
new or refurbished, our shop cost was $56,800 on this build, paying any shop retail would be quite a bit more, near
impossible to find a 100% rust and accident free 72 4x4 Chevy truck to begin with. Not too many 4x4 pickups built
like this, costs quite a bit more than a 2wd to build. Save money and time, buy this truck and be driving it within
a few days
MECHANICAL
Small Block Chevy balanced 383 stroker. Complete SCAT bottom end, forged everything, 1 piece LT1 block, Edelbrock
Performer RPM aluminum heads, hydraulic roller cam and rockers (no constant adjustment with hydraulic), aluminum
intake, Edelbrock 4 barrel electric choke carburetor, stainless headers, HEI electronic distributor, all ARP
fasteners, electric fuel pump. Built to run on 91/92 premium fuel, motor is 450 HP 500 FT TQ with this carburetor.
We opted for the Edelbrock for ease of use, this motor can get close to 500 HP with a performance Holley, but less
reliable. This is a $9400 motor with the best of the best name brand parts, everything new. The motor was broke in
prior to installation. Dual exhaust with Flowmaster 50 series mufflers (great sound without being obnoxious).
Oversize 4 core radiator with dual electric adjustable fans on custom made shroud. Rebuilt TH-350 automatic
transmission with a shift kit and hole-shot TQ converter set up perfect for this 4x4. Custom strengthened and
balanced drive lines, rebuilt gear driven bullet proof 205 transfer case. Front and rear axles have 4340 chromoly
axle shafts, they have Richmond 4.11 gears, both axles have Richmond limited slip lockers, they are the street
friendly versions, put the power to it in snow or mud and you have 4 wheel posi. Front axle has power disc brakes,
Warn hubs, 6 in lift kit on the front and a 4 in on the back with proper steering geometry, stabilizer and extended
stainless brake lines. Most lifts have a rake to them, we engineered this lift to be level as we think it looks
much better. Rebuilt power steering (1 finger turn). 35/13.5./15 Toyo Mud Terrain tires on 10 in wide aluminum
wheels with full size spare. All Chevy front axles track wider than the rear, the look is terrible, so we evened up
the rear with wheel spacers so the tires are aligned correctly. We gave this truck incredible attention to all the
little details. Under power when 1st shifts to 2nd it will bark these 35’s. Synthetic fluids in everything. We
built the truck to handle the power and torque of this motor.
BODY
All original metal/panels/frame it was born with. 100% rot free to begin with, time capsule as the motor let go in
1981, sat garaged until I bought in 2014. Everything completely disassembled and painted with high quality base
coat clear coat in Ice Cream White (color code taped inside glove box). Wet sanded for a beautiful smooth finish.
Best drip rails I’ve ever seen on a 67-72 truck. We Linexed under the hood, inner fenders, fender wells, bed,
under bed, under cab and the front lip of the bed that typically gets rock chips. Linex is great for sound
deadening, heat and chip protection. The cab and inner doors are insulated for sound and heat protection. The frame
is coated semi-gloss with POR-15. The reproduction parts came from LMC truck which are the most expensive, but best
in quality. Rather than list every new part, I’ll just say it’s all new. Uncut radio dash, we installed a new
IPOD ready stereo that looks vintage, with 4 quality speakers (we did not cut up the doors) 2 speakers under dash,
2 speakers behind the seats hard mounted. We removed the in cab fuel tank and installed an aftermarket tank under
the bed. We did not do the eye sore 67-72 fuel door install that is common, but custom welded in a clean hatch.
Autometer tachometer mounted inside the gauge cluster. Notice you don’t see wires or hoses going everywhere,
extensive time spent looming and hiding all of it that we could for that clean look. We installed large side
mirrors so we can actually use them, the little sport mirrors are near worthless. All these upgrades come from
experienced people whom have owned and built dozens of these trucks, we’ve found out over trial and error what
does and doesn’t work.
This truck was a restorer’s dream come true at the start. The end result is so much better with a start like
this, there was no body damage or rust, so very little body work was needed. There is no way anyone could build a
67-72 truck to this level to sell, the cost exceeds the value, take advantage of this situation, this is a brand
new restoration with test/tune miles on it only. There is a big difference between a 15 year old restoration and a
brand new one that may not show up in pics, but surely do in person.

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 recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.
