My bet is - anyone who has commented on this thread would give $2k for that truck in a heartbeat .. heck, anyone who's a member of this forum would. Original truck, yes I think it is period correct. Maybe someone in the 80's got it running with the new belts, etc and it got some junk on the gas tank and it quit again (?) Nobody knows for sure.. I wish it could talk.
But, bottom line we all know it's an awesome find. Take the original motor out, take the scratched up glove box lid .. I'd still give $2k for it.
On the grille - Maybe it was later build 71 ? It just happened to get a 72 grille shell?
Talking to my dad about it, there are different things on the truck that don't look period correct but maybe the old man's grandson drove it and got it running for 500 miles or so then it was parked again? Still .. I'd take it in a minute.
