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. I’m storing the truck in my private home garage until it sells. If you want one of the best Chevy 4x4 pickups on the road, want to start driving it now, and want to save a pile of money and time over paying someone to find a clean truck and restore it for you, this is for you. I want to sell this truck to the final user, I’m sure I’ll get flooded with dealer calls as I always do with mint restorations, no problem, but please don’t chat me up for an hour that leads to some lowball offer, not interested.

I have a clean/clear WA state title in hand, in my name, with matching title/frame/tag #’s. I welcome 3rd party inspections during not after the auction. I own Automotive Appraisals & Pre-Buy Inspections, so skip me when looking. I accept payment via bank to bank wire transfer only to my US Bank business account within 3 days closed auction. Title and truck will be released after completed funds in full. I have a shipping broker whom has shipped dozens of vehicles for me without a hitch, will put you in contact with him or work with your shipper. I recommend enclosed transport. I’m glad to speak with serious potential buyers over the phone.
