My first truck ever....a 72! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Nation77 · 05-11-2016, 08:20 AM

So here's some pics of my old 72 I bought couple of weeks ago. I never owned a truck until now. She needs a little work but I'm just planning on making a cruiser out of her.

Solid choice, congratulations.

rsgt · 05-11-2016, 10:28 AM

It sounds to me like you aren't planning a lot of hauling in this truck......if that's true AND you decide to part with the rear step bumper, I could be a buyer!

Once you become a premium member that is.

Geez, the guy just wants to show us his new truck, not part it out already

Haven't you heard the early bird worms the best deal!

Maybe he wants to go for those rebated bumpers or whatever those are called and doesn't think a step bumper fits into the "cruiser" look.

What is a "premium member?"

It's like a subscription to the web site allowing you to buy and sell parts and there's a few other perks as well. Very worthwhile and affordable and certainly a must if you plan on doin and buying and selling. If I can ever get my paypal to work I'll be getting a membership myself, there's a lot of good resources on this site

A premium member is a paying member. It allows one to sell on here to increasing degrees according to the pay amount. Apparently it was a no no for me to even suggest a sell without his upgrade, my apologies.

I became a paying member simply because I had gotten so much crucial advice and felt a bit obligated. I am yet to list anything for sale. However, I own my own website and the costs are very high just for what I have, so I figured the costs on such a website as this must be higher still.

I hope I didn't put the original poster on the spot. I was kidding about the step bumper, for the most part.

Premium Member means you kicked some $$$ to the forum and can use all of its resources.
That includes messaging and Want To Buy Adds and such.
I buy in every other year.
Lots of help here.
Do a LOT of reading, and you'll have a great truck in no time.
Cheers!
Nice Truck, btw!

Welcome! Nice ride...

**specialtyretail** · 05-11-2016, 05:19 PM

Looks like a good start....

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 05-11-2016, 11:59 PM

SPID would be cool. Looks pretty solid.

butler57 · 05-12-2016, 10:59 AM

That's a very good looking start regardless of where you go. I'd be happy driving it as it sits.

69chevytrucker · 05-14-2016, 10:26 PM

nice my first truck ever was 25 yrs ago and it was a 71

Mrturner1 · 05-15-2016, 12:19 AM

It was harmless he just asked that's all, no harm done.

Nice truck man! I am really starting to dig that flat black look. And you sure can't beat a long bed. Pics of the SPID and interior? Maybe some of under the hood?

projectking · 05-15-2016, 12:26 AM

Nice truck!

**GR8-68** · 05-15-2016, 04:41 AM
