Around here, you couldn,t touch that truck for $2600. Looks like a good deal to me.

Big D · 05-22-2007, 10:23 PM

Looks like a nice original truck,I think you got a great deal.

Down here we call it a cattle guard. I need to find out if it was a dealer option. I already took off the tool box and headache rack, but left the gun rack. It was last inspected in 1991 and has been in storage since. I got it to run on the old gas today. I need to drain the tank(s) and put fresh plugs and see what happens. It also needs brakes but I drove or crawled around the block in it once. I haven't driven my 72 in years so althought it barley ran it felt great.

You must have awfully skinny cows down in Texas!

You stole that truck, around here it would have been 4 - 6k

Aarons72s · 05-22-2007, 11:06 PM

Id say a great buy! I paid $2500.00 for the green and white. And its interior was a mess, the a/c wasnt hooked up, and so on and so forth so that is one heck of a deal. Pat yourself on the back and enjoy your new toy.

Thanks. My 72swb looks just like yours.

lbpd719 · 05-22-2007, 11:43 PM

I am sure it will give you years of good times.

No cancer probs. I took those pics of cab corners and fenders to show how little rust there is, also only a tiny bit of surface rust on floor pans prob from condensation. It is great to have one that atleast runs my 72 has a lot of money in it but I just now am getting back at it after a five year break for kids.

*alschevy* · 05-23-2007, 01:09 AM

thats a very nice truck

GREASEMONKEY72 · 05-23-2007, 02:57 AM

looks like a good deal to me

BB72CHEVKT · 05-23-2007, 11:31 AM

Anyone know if those are the original hub caps and if they are worth anything?

Bishops Trucks · 05-23-2007, 11:37 AM

Looks like a great deal to me.

gmc1969custom · 05-23-2007, 11:45 AM

Looks like original ones to me. I paid $125.00 for a very very nice set of GMC Sport wheel covers like those. Looks like a good deal to me.

*mattsz* · 05-23-2007, 05:03 PM

The hub caps are original. my truck has three of them.

**Yukon Jack** · 05-23-2007, 05:06 PM

Sure looks nice from where I sit! I'd say you got a good deal. Little rust is worth bigger $$$

powell72 · 05-23-2007, 06:57 PM

I agree with everyone else, I think you did just fine. BTW, I just bought five of those hubcaps at a swap meet the other week for $30 in good drivers condition if that helps at all. I have seen them go for a lot more also.

timcos · 05-23-2007, 07:23 PM

I would have easily paid $4000 for it.

*72CSTC5* · 05-23-2007, 08:19 PM

Heck sounds like you have a few buyers here. SELL IT!!! LOL!!

jgrh64 · 05-23-2007, 08:57 PM

up north it would be around $5000 easy

BB72CHEVKT · 05-23-2007, 11:11 PM

Thanks for all the kind words. I have to change the gas tank the gas smells like turpentine(last registered 91), but belive it or not it will start. I decided
tonight I am going to make it my daily driver and get rid of 06 2wd crew in case anyone is interested. I am too new to know if that will get me in trouble.
That will free up $300 a month for 72 project. What do you think?
