Looking for "Survivor" 67-72 truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**DANTIP** · 07-30-2015, 08:51 AM

I'm always watching for excellent condition unmolested stock/original trucks but I want to widen my search by reaching out here. Ideally, I want to stick with fleetside V-8/automatic transmission trucks. LWB/SWB 2 or 4-wheel drive will all be considered. Original paint is a huge plus. If you know of a candidate and owner contact please forward it to me.

Will do. They come up occasionally here in Phoenix Arizona.

It definitely fits the bill, but was repainted by the dealer in 1981.

Joesjunk still has his original 2k mile swb truck.

Joe is famous for really nice trucks and parts. He also REALLY likes quality survivors.

I love that blue one. Those mirrors and the aux doors in the bed make it IMHO.

vics stuff · 08-01-2015, 02:05 PM

I have a original 1972 C10 short wide box 2 wheel drive that I purchased from the original owner. 105,000 miles. came from Arkansas. Never had seen work. Originally had a topper on the bed and was only used to sleep in by original owner when he was out tending to his livestock.
It has a 350 with turbo 350 at. power steering. All original paint and very little rust.
Plans are to restore to a Cheyenne supper using all NOS body trim wood grain which I have been collection for over 20 years .
Will try to get some pics posted.

sounds like a good one!

vics stuff · 08-01-2015, 04:10 PM

68bowtie ! I have been collecting and rebuilding these trucks since 1976 when I bought my first 68 chevy truck and have had many since. Have looked for many years to find that special one and this is it. Will post pics later. Since I got it back up and running with all stock running gear last week. It has deffinitly been a head turner especially for a unrestored short wide 2 wd truck. every where I go someone is complementing on what a clean survivor it is and others think they can get a good deal on this one. My response is it is not for sale. After looking for 20 years , after I sold my last real nice short box , it would take a large sum of money to pry my fingers away from the keys on this one..
I had promises the owners son that I was not going to hack it up and save this one.

Was the 26k mile truck your buddy bought just on eBay? If so that was a nice one

Awesome, I was watching that one, looks like a very nice truck

doubleb's69 · 08-02-2015, 10:21 PM

There has been a nice one on Des Moines Craigslist. I can't link it because I'm on my phone. Look up 1972 Chevy Cheyenne. It's dark olive.

I looked at that truck a few weeks ago and was pretty disappointed. It's definitely a 10-footer.
