Added truck #2 to the stable... ***caution big pics*** - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Yullose · 06-10-2009, 12:17 AM

Complete with Northeast body rot.

The guy wanted $800 for it... after a few emails, I had him down to $450.

When I went to look at it/buy it... I decided it was too much work.

He dropped the price to $300.

I couldn't resist.

I can't decide what to do with it now...

I have a '67 small window 2wd longbed c20 with a 6cyl / 3spd... and was thinking of swapping the 67 cab & sheetmetal over to the 72 c10 frame.

Both trucks need rockers, corners and mounts.

Decisions decisions.

And... a pic of my '67

I like the look of those rear meats on your '67! what size tires are those?

mikajo39 · 06-10-2009, 12:22 AM

oh and btw NICE FIND! I wouldn't be able to resist either. I'm pretty sure you'll think of something cool to do with it

I haven't looked at them in awhile... I seem to remember they are 28x13.5's.

mikajo39 · 06-10-2009, 12:39 AM

Have any ideas what your gonna do with your new find? I say you Prostreet it!

drivethechevy · 06-10-2009, 12:54 AM

nice score on the 72, its got nice looking interior and factory air too, is that the original radio on the seat
maybe this is just me but i would take the int, and the ac, and any other parts scavengable and use the frame with the 67 body to make a 5 lug ac 67, with nice int for cheap
either way nice 67 and good deal on the 72 good luck with em

That's probably what I will do... and yes, original radio on seat.

I REALLY like the 67's with the small window... and this '72 has everything I need, like power discs, power steering, 350, auto, ac, etc...

I think I may gut the '72 cab for parts... and pull the body off the frame. Then I'll swap all the 67 stuff over to the 72 chassis.
Too bad I already got those 6-lug Vette wheels on the 67 though... that was a waste of money.

You can still run the Vette wheels if you keep the 67 rear end and buy some 6-lug front rotors.

Highsteel · 06-10-2009, 12:48 AM

The front bumper and grill looks pretty nice, and the AC dash.
could sell some parts and make your money back. Seems like a lot of rust to try and work around, with, through.

UltraBlue71 · 06-10-2009, 01:09 AM

If ya go with the green one you wont have to replace the hood, grill or front bumper!!! LOL!

Looks like a good parts truck!

jim zag · 06-10-2009, 05:34 AM

I LIKE the 67.

72BlckButy · 06-10-2009, 08:00 AM

First things first... become a supporting board member (it's only $25); then....

Part that sucker out and get your $300+ back out of it.

Nice score on the '72!

eganracing · 06-10-2009, 08:19 AM

I'll take that 72 grill off your hands. Let me know

big_al_71 · 06-10-2009, 08:51 AM

for $300.00 I would had bought it also...Part it out sell what I dont need and use the rest for the 67..

I'm not getting rid of anything any time soon.

My 67 had the wrong front end on it (69/70) and I'm still gathering the correct sheetmetal for it.
I sold off the pair of 70 fenders a few weeks ago for $80... and now wish I had kept the dang things.

I found a 67 hood within a couple hours of here for $150... but I still need the correct rad support, LF fender and hood latch.

Once I have all the correct stuff gathered up, maybe I'll start selling.

my67chevytruck · 06-10-2009, 08:59 AM

^^^^ I agree do the body swap, become a member and part out the unused parts, you could unload those 6 lug rally's easily.....

crazyredneck · 06-11-2009, 06:14 PM

haha you just saved me from having to explain to my dad why i bought another truck i was thinking about going to look at it i saw it on craigslist a while back

Yep, that's where I found it... and apparently quite a few people looked at it and passed it up.

I think the previous owner was tired of seeing buyers slip away, so he lowered the price to the point I couldn't refuse.

Jim_PA · 06-11-2009, 10:07 PM

The twin to your newly acquired 72 is sitting a few miles from me. It looks to be in about the same condition. It's been up on blocks and under a tarp for a few months. I'm just waiting for the "FOR SALE" sign to go up.

sweet70beast · 06-12-2009, 06:26 PM

EGR valve and HEI on the 6cyl? Not the original engine I take it. Was it originally a 6 or a V8?

prostreetC-10 · 06-12-2009, 06:30 PM

funny....there was actually a guy on here trying to get his truck to look like yours!!! I think he was using a sander and salt water!

culp7 · 06-12-2009, 06:32 PM

i want that 72

Yullose · 06-12-2009, 08:58 PM

Good news and bad news...

Bad news is, both trucks are still rust buckets.

Good news is, I got BOTH of them fired up and running today.

The '72 had about 10 gallons of water and 2 gallons of gas in the tank.
I drained the tank, refilled with 5 gallons of Sunoco, took a little sandpaper across the points, replaced the fuel pump and rotted rubber hose... and she fired right up and idled like she was just running yesterday. (It's been 5+ years since it ran)
Total cost $34 in parts + $14 in gas.
I REALLY wanted to take it for a spin around the block, but just couldn't risk a catastrophe or stalled motor. I'm in no shape to push a 2 ton truck.

The '67 has always started when I dropped a battery in it and hit the key. This time was no different. My only surprise was when I backed it down off the slab and down the steep hill in my driveway and found NOTHING when I stabbed the brake pedal. I quickly jammed it into 1st and rode the clutch down until it stopped. Scared the poo out of me.

Master cylinder was dry of course.

Anyway, our neighborhood is having a huge yard sale this weekend, so I figured I'd park 'em near the curb for visibility and a 'coupla pictures.

Here's few more of my Northeast rust buckets.

Jim_PA · 06-13-2009, 09:05 PM

I bet you can pull in radio stations from several different area codes with that lightning rod.

Yullose · 06-13-2009, 09:23 PM

I drove an hour this morning and picked up a usable 67 hood, rad support, hood latch, spare grille and LF fender for a '68. Matbe I'll just weld the sidemarker shut, instead of searching for another 67 fender. (Nobody seems to have an original driver side '67 fender anywhere local.)

Once I got home, I started tearing into the project...
I have the 67 cab pretty well gutted and ready to be unbolted... and started pulling the front end off the '72. Tomorrow, depending on the weather, I may try to get the bed off the '67. After that, I will work on getting the cab high enough to roll the chassis out from under it and on to my car trailer for a visit to the scrapyard...
