shiney.....
 

Got in yesterday evening with this one. 72, short bed with a small block and turbo 350. Nothing fancy, power steering, manual disc brakes and heater only. Kind of exactly what I have been looking for. The pics are more flattering to it than they should be. It is screaming for a set of steel wheels and poverty caps and the under hood needs a lot of small things straightened out. Maybe,,,,,, I can keep this one,,,, maybe....

Now thats funny !!!!

Re: shiney.....
 

Looks like a keeper :metal:

Re: shiney.....
 

I like it ,even the wheels ,want to sell it yet ? Just kidding ,LOL.

Re: shiney.....
 

Well, funny you should ask..... I did price it but, don't think anything will come of it..

Re: shiney.....
 

Nice lookin' rig! Me??? I'd leave the Cragar's on it and lower it, with bigs and littles on them. But then again... I'm a sucker for 60's and 70's era mag wheels.

Cragar S/S ad from early 1970's...

:agree:

Re: shiney.....
 

Yes, they are nice, but I am just too lazy for chrome wheels. The whole deal about keeping the rust at bay wears me the hell out.

Re: shiney.....
 

Congrats that is a good looking truck! They are getter hard to find in decent shape.

Re: shiney.....
 

Thanks Ray. Looking at lowering springs and adjustable track bar for it right now.

Re: shiney.....
 

5k and it's mine...?

Re: shiney.....
 

Sorry, not quite. $6,000.00 will buy it before I get started on it. Thanks, Fred.

Re: shiney.....
 

me i'd b worried to death that the truck will burn to the ground with that lazymans rubber fuel line

Re: shiney.....
 

You and me both. That is the first thing on the list. I was so concerned, I disconnected the battery when I trailered it home. Rubber fuel line makes me nervous. Thanks for the observation, thought it was just me...

Re: shiney.....
 

You would be hard pressed to find a truck that nice in my neck of the woods for $6000 .

Re: shiney.....
 

Hello Fred, I spent 4 great years in your area...going to college. I met Jeff Sneathen at SEMO Mustangs and actually worked for him dismantling old Mustangs while attending school there. That's quite a truck, just like everyone is looking to nab. I have a decent GMC long bed, a '72. It too needs a great many little things and a BED to be closer to "right" but good things come to those who work to better their trucks, right?
Thanx for sharing.

Tom

Re: shiney.....
 

Hey Tom. I know Jeff. Thanks for the kind words on the truck. You should come to the swap meet this weekend.

Re: shiney.....
 

6k? Damn I should've came to your area when I bought trucks. That's a 10k truck all day long in California.

Re: shiney.....
 

Guess it is mine for sure now... I was able to charm the ladies at the license out of these plates.

Re: shiney.....
 

Those are cool!

Re: shiney.....
 

Major changes going on.....

Re: shiney.....
 

Must be proved with pictures Fred.... Just sayin'

Re: shiney.....
 

want to trade it for a 1972 Cheyenne super longhorn?

Re: shiney.....
