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 opens official investigation into C8 Corvette transmission leaks
Mon, Nov 1 2021In March 2020, a month after Chevrolet began customer deliveries of the 2020 C8 Corvette, a GM dealer technician created a Reddit thread about a leaking gearbox in a Corvette with 32 miles. That car hadn't even been sold yet. Since then, as a search of "C8 Corvette transmission leak" shows, it's been tales of woe for some owners. Something in the Tremec TR-9080 transaxle in the back of the mid-engined Corvette doesn't work as it should, the fault able to cause codes that the transmission needs service, or that the driver needs to shift to park. In some cases, the battery would die because of follow-on issues after the initial transmission code, that code preventing the car from powering down. As Autoevolution reports, GM filed paperwork with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in August to look into what's going on. Between forum threads and GM's investigation document, there are several issues mentioned. The most common appears to be the dual-clutch transmission leaking fluid due to gasket failures like the one suffered by one owner at 858 miles, and another for an owner currently enduring a second leaking transmission. The Midengined Corvette Forum reported that Chevy engineers redesigned the TR-9080 pan, fitting Corvettes with the new unit at some point in the 2021 model year. The original pan was stamped steel unit affixed to the engine with two studs and 13 bolts, plus "reinforcement plates." The updated pan is said to be a cast aluminum unit affixed with two studs and 17 bolts, omits the reinforcement plates, and gets a new machined new groove around its edge to seat the gasket seal. The GM paperwork now at the NHTSA mentions a P1789 code, and says one reason for it could be "debris on the park position sensor magnet causing an incorrect position reading to the TCM." This might be caused by another issue mentioned in forums, which is clogged transmission filters. GM gives instructions for returning transmission filters to the company, and a poster on one forum said the Corvette tech at the dealer where he bought his Corvette told him the automaker "requires every used transmission filter to be returned to GM."Â Whatever's going on, the problems haven't stopped, and they go beyond the P1789 code. Over the weekend, a 2022 Corvette owner posted on Corvette Forums that he got a check engine light on his car after just 850 miles.
7 major automakers to build open EV charging network
Wed, Jul 26 2023A new joint venture established by BMW, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz and Stellantis will build a new North American electric vehicle charging network on a scale designed to compete with Tesla's industry-benchmark Supercharger network. The 30,000-plus planned new chargers will accommodate both Tesla's almost-standard North American Charging System (NACS) and existing automakers' Combined Charging System (CCS) options, effectively guaranteeing compatibility with the vast majority of current and upcoming electric models — whether they're from one of the involved automakers or not. "With the generational investments in public charging being implemented on the Federal and State level, the joint venture will leverage public and private funds to accelerate the installation of high-powered charging for customers. The new charging stations will be accessible to all battery-powered electric vehicles from any automaker using Combined Charging System (CCS) or North American Charging Standard (NACS) and are expected to meet or exceed the spirit and requirements of the U.S. National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program." Critically, the automakers involved will have a say in how the charging tech is implemented, guaranteeing that the hardware will play nicely with each automaker's in-house charging systems. Hyundai and Kia, for example, were hesitant to jump on board the Tesla NACS bandwagon earlier this year over concerns that the Supercharger network is insufficient for powering the two automakers' 800-volt charging systems; similar tech is used by Volkswagen and Porsche. In addition to providing much-needed capacity and high-output charging for America's growing fleet of electric cars and trucks, the new network will integrate seamlessly with each automaker's in-app and in-vehicle features, rather than forcing customers to use third-party tools and payment systems, as is the case with some existing public charging infrastructure. "The functions and services of the network will allow for seamless integration with participating automakersÂ’ in-vehicle and in-app experiences, including reservations, intelligent route planning and navigation, payment applications, transparent energy management and more. In addition, the network will leverage Plug & Charge technology to further enhance the customer experience," the announcement said.
