New to the truck side
So I picked up this 72 c10. I've had my 72 blazer for a while and it was in need of a friend. What do you guys think? All original paint and the frame was all powder coated and rebuilt a few years ago. Has a clean rebuilt 350/350 combo with a rebuilt 12 bolt. Underside is spotless. Wood Bed which is pretty clean. I'll post some more pics later.

Re: New to the truck side
Ya I'm out cruising it today. I'm going to be torn between it and the blazer for driving. Although I love topless in the summer.

Re: New to the truck side
Ya I feel for you guys on the east coast with the rust issues. I see some exceptional metal working skills on old Chevy's that would send most people running.
Here's some more pics. I love the truck but I have to admit I like the fleet side better. I may have to get a fleet side bed for it in the future. I think I got a good deal for 10k. It runs like a champ and has pretty good power.

Re: New to the truck side
Whoever you got it from must not have put many miles on it after the rebuild, looks new.
I agree keep it a stepper

Re: New to the truck side
It was basically setting in the garage with little use. They were hurting for money and hadn't paid the tags since November. Cost me a couple hundred for the tags, but it's in my name and I couldn't be happier. The paint is really clean for original and I will be keeping the color if I ever decide to do a repaint. I have always liked the red/orange.

Re: New to the truck side
Looks like you found a few more wheelbase inches over a blazer! Nice truck!

Re: New to the truck side
Ya I was saying the same thing to my son. Even my Chevelle is longer than the blazer. I have big plans for upgrading the suspension. Any suggestions I want a good ride but still want to tow with it.

Re: New to the truck side
Very nice truck! I would keep the step side, it looks great on that truck. Unless you get a fleet, rig up a quick change mounting system and you could have both!

Re: New to the truck side
The quick change is a good idea I might have to do that. I just need to find a bed which seems like it could be a challenge.
