I just bought what was left of a guy parting out what he said was a 1972 long bed C20. What I got was a rolling frame with the bed. He seemed to know what he was working with but this one has 8 lug drum brakes front / full floater in the rear w/ leaf springs. Wasn't disc brakes standard on 72's? If so what was the last year for drum brakes in the front?
