lol i was just giving you a hard time, woud be a nice truck to own though if you do decide to sell it let me know, if i have the cash at the time id buy it, i am actually looking for one for the body to put on my swb frame, i posted an add for my motor to trade or to sell it but havent had any luck oh well though just gotta try and be patient

how come your dad wants to change the seat cover? that one looks like it in good shape, does he just like houndstooth better or is the seat torn?

The seat it torn over on the drivers side pretty bad. He wants to do a houndstooth cover but I'm trying to convince him that an original style cover would be correct since it's not a "super". But we'll see, it'll be mainly a driver and little upgrades will be made over time when the money is there

yea it would be a tough call to keep it factory looking since so much of it is original, if he does he should go with black vinyl with orange houndstooth the match the paint, the truck is orange right?

Yea it's orange with a white roof

[1972BackInBlackC10]

thought so lol sometimes colors can be off in pics thought it may have been red, ya i think black vinyl with orange houndstooth would look good, but thats just my opinion

Love seeing them basically untouched!

Been tryin to find a build sheet on this ole girl. It's not under or behind the seat, I've heard of them being between the bed and cab and also behind the gas tank cardboard???? And ideas where I can look? Also curious what plant it would've been made out of. It was sold new in Statesville, NC if that narrows it down any.

[1972BackInBlackC10]

i think some build sheets were stuck between the springs and foam on the seats, or under the carpet, i think you can find out what plant the truck was made at through your vin, you do have the protecto plate you can find out through that too theres a thread on the general discussion page, i think it was titled decoding protecto plate or something like that

[1972BackInBlackC10]

heres the link to it http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...protecto+plate

heres one about build sheet locations http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...protecto+plate

It came out of the Baltimore plant. (the "B" in your VIN designates this)

[Graham57a]

Thanks for the info. According to the VIN this truck was made in Baltimore. I saw in that thread that it a guy found a Baltimore built sheet under the drivers side carpet but I didn't see anything. Maybe I need to look harder? Or maybe there isn't one in this truck.
Unless someone replaced the carpet and tossed the build sheet. I found a tag under the original carpet, maybe it was replaced at some point. The carpet is cut out around the bench seat, is that original? All of the cardboard and foam is still in the floor under the carpet so I assumed the carpet was original. Are there any original carpet pros out there?
