Thinking about selling the 72 custom deluxe

[YellowMenace]

I was building this to tow my car to races across the county next year but I've about decided to get a used Expedition for comfort reasons. It's a blue 72 Chevy and I've done the following work within the last 6 months:

350, newly rebuilt longblock with hyper pistons and pink rods. Mild comp cam.
Edelbrock performer intake
Edlebrock chrome air filter
Chrome chevy logo timing cover
flex fan
tall "350" chrome valve covers
new motor and tranny mounts
Proform full roller rockers with polylock
new fuel pump
HEI with new harness
Freshly built 700R4 with new lockup torque converter (with vac and brake switches)
new shocks
new springs (fronts installed, waiting for delivery of rears)
new ball joints
refurbished 4 core radiator
new dual exhaust
new driveshaft with new carrier bearing and U joints
2001 Silverado 40-20-40 seats (charcoal)
New tires
American Racing spun alum. wheels (look like Centerlines)
New windshield (blue tint across top)
Camaro steering wheel (stock included with it)
rebuilt tilt column
New belts and hoses
new water pump
new flex plate
new plugs and wires
4 " AutoGage tach inserted into spot where factory tach goes.
New brakes with new calipers in front and new wheel cylinders in rear.
new fuel sending unit (gauge still doesn't work completely)
new external washer pump


Body in good shape. Some rust in rocker panels and under cab. Some rust in bed.

Was an A/C truck but currently no A/C components and part of heater box is missing. Heater core is bad. Heater controls are still there.

Rear end leaks very slightly. No posi. Slight leak in steering box, will include rebuilt kit.

Sliding back glass.
cargo lamp
two poly saddle tanks (need to be cleaned out) in addition to tank behind seat


This was apparently a Highlander but the visors and door panels have been recently repainted black. Also replaced dash pad and door handles

Grill in good condition, one crack in blue chevy logo.


Stuff I have ready but haven't gotten to yet:
Includes new rubber flooring, vent and side window refurb kit and will have a set of used 3.73 gears with it, not installed.

also includes 2 rally wheels (one with center cap) that were on the truck when I bought it and another steel wheel with a spare.

I'm basically down to putting in air, gears and some body work.

$6,500
