1972 GMC Short Bed. I personally built this truck from scratch and could tell you every single detail about it. I used mostly all stainless steel hardware throughout the entire truck. The truck is in really great shape with no major rust issues. I had a tough time finding a driver’s side door so there was a little bit of rust repair done but that is it. It had new rockers put on it (professionally done) before I bought the cab but other than that it is all original from what I could tell. The cab mounts are solid and the heater vents and firewall is all intact with no signs of rust. The bed was all sandblasted and painted and is in amazingly great shape. The fenders, hood, and core support are all original and in great shape too.

The interior is mostly original or new. I installed a new dash pad, carpet, and rear view mirrors. The seat, seat belts, gauge cluster, and door panels are all original. I utilized the factory wiring harness while rewiring the main components of the wiring. I didn’t hack up the wiring or splice into it unnecessarily. I am very meticulous and made sure wires were run correctly. I also bypassed the GM starter solenoid and put a remote one on the inner fender so that a positive cable isn’t running alongside the engine and header.

The engine is an original 396 from a CST10 truck. It has been bored and stroked using a 454 crank making the cubic inches out to about 440. It has Wiseco forged pistons and a bracket master camshaft. I installed a MSD distributor with calibrated springs and weights for the engine and utilized a 6AL box. I kept the mechanical fuel pump that feeds the 750 Quick Fuel carburetor which works flawlessly. The transmission is a Hughes TH400 with a B&M Hole shot 2400 converter and JW performance bell housing. The rear end utilizes a flip kit to match the 2.5in drop spindles and 1in springs up front. It has a new Detroit Locker with 4.10 gears and Moser axles. I installed Caltrac bars which give the truck consistent 1.65 60 foot times with Hoosier DOT Slicks. I raced the truck last summer when it had a 383 and it ran 12.80’s consistently. This year I made one pass at the drag strip without really tuning the engine before the rain settled in and it ran a 12.56 shifting at 5000rpms. I’m positive it will run in the low twelves without much tweaking and maybe even trickling into the high elevens.  

I painted the truck flat pale yellow to give it a faded beat up look. I then went around spraying some white primer here and there while leaving the hood and tail gate grey primer. I then had custom decals painted on it which was all free handed and really makes the truck look old school. There is a lot of detail put into the truck and it will not disappoint. It could easily be re-sprayed to look show quality. As I finish up Graduate School in the next semester, I plan on moving away and the truck will end up sitting for years. I really don’t need to sell the truck so it is priced fairly. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask. I’m sure there are some things I left out.

This map reveals the cleanest vehicles based on location

Thu, Apr 28 2016

Naysayers love to point out how dirty the electricity grid mix is when it comes to charging electric vehicles. Curmudgeons are eager to jump into any conversation about EVs to enlighten the lucky listeners about how plug-in cars contribute to pollution, sometimes even throwing in a dash of climate-change denial for good measure. (Thanks, buddy. Pray, tell me more about the plight of oppressed SUV owners.) Unless someone buys an EV just because they think they're cool (which, yeah, they often are), they probably have at least a passable understanding of their environmental pros and cons. As many EV owners are already aware, location has a lot to do with any particular plug-in car's carbon footprint. Still, there's always more to know, and knowledge is not a bad thing, especially if one uses it to do the right thing. That's why this handy-dandy map from Carnegie Mellon University is so interesting. CMU researchers have compiled information about the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of various EVs based on where they're charged, as compared to gasoline-powered vehicles. The researchers looked at the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt, and Prius Plug-In Hybrid versus the gasoline-dependent Toyota Prius hybrid and the stop-start-equipped Mazda3 with i-ELOOP and compared grams of CO2 emitted per mile. CMU takes into account the grid mix, ambient temperature, and driving patterns. CMU takes into account the grid mix based on county, as well as ambient temperature and driving patterns in terms of miles traveled on the highway or in the city. For instance, if you drive a Nissan Leaf in urban areas of California, Texas, or Florida, your carbon footprint is lower than it would be if you were driving a standard Toyota Prius. However, if you charge your Leaf in the Midwest or the South, for the most part, you've got a larger carbon footprint than the Prius. If you live in the rural Midwest, you'd probably even be better off driving a Mazda3. Throughout the country, the Chevrolet Volt has a larger carbon footprint than the Toyota Prius, but a smaller one than the Mazda3 in a lot of urban counties in the US. The Prius and Prius Plug-In are relatively equal across the US. Having trouble keeping it straight? That's not surprising. The comparisons between plug-in and gasoline vehicles are much more nuanced than the loudest voices usually let on.
