New addition 72 C20 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BB72CHEVKT · 03-30-2010, 01:20 PM

I picked this up Saturday from bobvilla67 who got it from shaneschevy. I had new duals installed yesterday and it sounds a lot better. Have a lifter/ rocker arm that is ticking hopefully it just needs some adjustment. I also picked up a 1972,402,T400 complete from breather to oil pan minus a/c brackets but lost a set of buddy buckets in the deal.

that looks like a pretty solid nice truck... whats the plans?

capev86 · 03-30-2010, 04:47 PM

now that is just plain beautiful. just needs a mild resto. the seat looks like all it needs is a little needlework to fix that rip. just some spit and polish! the truck even has the "short arm" tripod mirrors that my dad's 72 burb had!

After pulling the driver side manifold and replacing all 3 studs and installing the duals I removed the driver side valve cover tonight and hope that a adjustment will fix my lifter/rocker noise. I was thinking it would replace my 69 as my daily but am not sure at this point.

You must have seen the exit off I20 otherwise you would have probably missed me.

Shane is gonna hate to see that now that you've fixed it up some.

Do 3/4 tons with leaf springs usally sit this high in the rear?

Yep! IMO, the look of a heavy duy 3/4 ton pickup is one of the coolest. Here is one of my favorite photos.This is a base model (black rubber windshield)custom camper but has the chrome bumper, caps and RV mirror options.Wheels are 16.5". May have plenty of other options on the SPID.

Great looking C20, nice buy.

capev86 · 03-31-2010, 05:01 PM

well, it is a 3/4 ton with an empty bed. sorry, but leveled just looks like crap to me. i love the factory rake like on an old hot rod!

shaneschevys · 04-11-2010, 01:17 PM

I'm glad to see it go to a good home! Its a good solid origional truck I would loved to have been able to keep it.
