This 1972 Chevrolet K10 is a short wheelbase pickup that is powered by a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case.
The Chevrolet Performance Connect and Cruise 6.2-liter LS3 V8 sends power to the rear or all four wheels through a 4L65E four-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case.
The truck is equipped with a stainless-steel dual exhaust system with twin Borla mufflers.
The frame was sandblasted and repainted, the axles and transfer case were rebuilt, and the motor mounts, transmission mounts, and U-joints were replaced.
During the refurbishment the body was mounted on a rotisserie and received rust repairs as well as replacement body panels including one rocker box and two bed side panels.
It was then refinished in two-tone orange and white.
Features include chrome front and rear bumpers, LS3 badging on the front fenders, a cab-mounted bed light, a receiver hitch, and dual exterior mirrors.
The factory fuel filler and cap was retained, although the fuel fill location for the Rick’s Tanks fuel tank is within the driver side rear wheel well.
White-painted 15″ steel wheels with chrome Chevrolet hubcaps are mounted with 31×10.5″ Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires.
The truck is equipped with power steering and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes.
The steering box was reportedly re-valved by Steerco, and the ball joints and tie rod ends have been replaced.
The overhauled cabin features bucket seats trimmed in black vinyl with houndstooth cloth inserts as well as a matching headliner, center console, carpets, and vinyl door panels.
The dashboard was painted to match the body, and equipment includes lap belts, air conditioning, rubber floor mats, and a push-button AM/FM radio.
A two-spoke steering wheel fronts replacement Dakota Digital RTX instrumentation that includes a 160-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, voltage, and oil pressure.
The digital odometer shows 100 miles, and total mileage is unknown.
