I was out looking for a parts truck for my restoration project and I ran across a 69 Chevy lwb (coils) with a 72 bumper/grill in it. The truck has the original 350 with 88,000 miles on it. Factory air still in tact. The interior is in very good condition, stock radio, etc. The truck was driven to the spot it has sat in for the last 12 years!! The downside is that it has a lot of cancer. The bed floor (metal) is in bad shape, the rockers are almost gone, and the cab looks to be in rough shape with rust up under the drip rails and even on the firewall. The front fenders and doors are in good shape with only surface rust. Front fender is excellent.
I need some fenders, doors, the front bumber, some of the A/C parts, and maybe the engine. I asked the old boy what he would take for it and he said to start at 2,000 and go either way!! I was thinking more like 800 to 1000, but he didn't bite. Could I part the remaining pieces out to justify the higher cost, or would someone be interested in the truck. It is about 3 hours from my house, but I could probably get pictures. I think if you wanted to spend the dollars on new metal it would be a great truck to restore. Oh, and no tilt or tach or I would have bought it! ------------------ 2001 GMC 2500HD Crew Cab Duramax, Allison, 4WD, Love it 1971 Chevrolet 1/2 ton 2WD Short/Step Side.
