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.

Chevrolet Malibu gets aggressive redesign for 2016
Wed, Apr 1 2015Cars like the Ford Fusion, Kia Optima and Chrysler 200 have recently raised the styling bar in the midsize sedan game is. In that regard, the rather anonymous Chevrolet Malibu has suffered in recent years. That no longer appears to be an issue with the 2016 Malibu, which is simply caked with interesting elements. The wide, aggressive grille, expressive headlights and angled LED running lamps make the Malibu look like the Impala's much angrier little brother. In back, the Impala inspiration is there, but like the fascia, it's noticeably more aggressive, with a sharper cant to the taillights and a pair of large, integrated dual exhausts (at least on the 2.0-liter, turbocharged model being featured by Chevy). Designers also worked to give the 'Bu a bit more character in the profile, adding a pair of character lines to cut back on the last-gen car's slab-sided looks. While the exterior could almost be described as sporting, the brown-and-beige color scheme in the cabin is noticeably more relaxed. A large, central MyLink system sits atop the dash, while drivers will also have access to a dedicated display in the instrument cluster. A thick-rimmed, three-spoke steering wheel is a bit on the large side, but still looks like a nice piece to work. You can read a lot more about the new 2016 Malibu in our original post from early this morning. But before you do that, have a look at our full gallery of live images from the floor of the Javits Center. All-New Malibu is Larger, More Technological and Efficient New hybrid sedan projected to offer combined rating north of 45 MPG DETROIT – Chevrolet today introduced the all-new 2016 Malibu – a completely restyled midsize sedan engineered to offer more efficiency, connectivity and advanced safety features than ever. An all-new hybrid powertrain, which leverages technology from the Chevrolet Volt, will help offer a GM-estimated combined rating north of 45 mpg. The Malibu's standard 1.5L turbo powertrain is projected to offer 37 mpg highway. The 2016 Malibu is also longer and lighter, with more interior space and improved fuel efficiency. Its wheelbase has been stretched close to four inches (101 mm), and it is nearly 300 pounds (136 kg) lighter than the current model. "Midsize customers tell us they want great fuel economy, connected technologies, wrapped in a gorgeous exterior. This is exactly what the 2016 Malibu was engineered to do," said Jesse Ortega, Malibu chief engineer.

What if the mid-engine Corvette is really a Cadillac?
Tue, Jun 28 2016Call me crazy, but I'm not convinced the mid-engine Corvette is the next Corvette. The rumor is strong, yes. And, contrary to some of the comments on our site, Car and Driver - leader of the mid-engine Corvette speculation brigade - has a pretty good record predicting future models. But it's another comment that got me thinking: or maybe it's a Cadillac. There is clearly something mid-engine going on at GM, and I think it makes sense for the car to be a Cadillac. First off, check out how sweet the 2002 Cadillac Cien concept car still looks in the photo above. Second, there are too many holes in the mid-engine Corvette theory. There are too many holes in the mid-engine Corvette theory. The C7 is relatively young in Corvette years, starting production almost three years ago as a 2014 model. Showing a 2019 model at the 2018 North American International Auto Show would kill sales of a strong-selling car before its time. Not to mention it would only mean a short run for the Grand Sport, which was the best-selling version of the previous generation. More stuff doesn't add up. Mid-engine cars are, in general, more expensive. Moving the Vette upmarket leaves a void that the Camaro does not fill. There's not much overlap between Camaro and Corvette customers. Corvette owners are older and enjoy features like a big trunk that holds golf clubs. Mid-engine means less trunk space and alienating a happy, loyal buyer. Also, more than 60 years of history. The Corvette is an icon along the likes of the Porsche 911 and Ford Mustang. I'm not sure the car-buying public wants a Corvette that abandons all previous conventions. And big changes bring uncertainty - I don't think GM would make such a risky bet. Chevrolet could build a mid-engine ZR1, you might say, and keep the other Corvettes front-engine. Yes they could, and it would cost a ton of money. And they still need to fund development of that front-engine car. I highly doubt the corporate accountants would go for that. But a Cadillac? Totally. Cadillac is in the middle of a brand repositioning. GM is throwing money at this effort. A mid-engine halo car is the just the splash the brand needs to shake off the ghosts of Fleetwoods past. And it's already in Cadillac President Johan De Nysschen's playbook. He was in charge of Audi's North America arm when the R8 came out. A Caddy sports car priced above $100,000 isn't that unreasonable when you can already price a CTS-V in that range.
