I was on my way to Houston and I saw this poor truck in the back of a flat bed truck. I really wanted to stop him and offer him some money for it, but my wife tought differently.

Deosn't look like it could have been completely saved but there were probably some good parts on there. Alot of 72's have broken grille inserts (Mine does) and that one looks un-broken go figure. RJ22

mvfd70 · 03-20-2007, 10:42 PM

AR15DEFENSE · 03-20-2007, 11:02 PM

boraxman · 03-20-2007, 11:21 PM

Still looks classic, even like that!

Dano69c10 · 03-21-2007, 12:12 AM

Guys, let's promise to pick 'em clean before we send them off to the crusher!
Those headlight bezels and hood hinges look good too!

Scrap plastic price must be up.

3/4tonterror · 03-21-2007, 10:27 AM

The wife allways thinks different.

SacramentoJoe · 03-21-2007, 10:48 AM

Umm, I'm new here so I need to ask. Are there hidden pictures of this truck in this thread somewhere?

724x4a/cchevy · 03-21-2007, 10:59 AM

i coulda used those headlight trim pieces. Like someone on this board once said, that just makes ours more valuable!!

LUV2XCLR8 · 03-21-2007, 03:49 PM

I wish I had the money to buy and part these things like others here do, I
have a yard near me that has 10 of them, and I see at least 5 a month in
their last digs headed for the scraper down the road from me. I stop there
just about everytime I pass one of these trucks, most guys won't sell it

Sweet! It looks like they chopped the top!
