Need Opinions...on a 72' restore?
![]() This is my first post here, hopefully more to come. There seems to be tons of information on here. Very nice site. Well I am looking at a 72 c10 or at least I am told a 72. Not sure what the differences are. Anyways, its seems to be to be a solid truck. The only rusty spots being on the bed steps, passenger door, and the front inner fender areas. Everything else looks fairly good. The rain gutters are a little rusty but do not seem to be rotted yet. Inside is pretty nice, the doorsills seem pretty rusty but not sure if that’s the actual screw-on sills or underneath on the actual floor. Its a 6 cylinder, with a 3 speed on the tree, 75,000 orig miles. Its at a garage where I am friendly with the owners and its been sitting for as long as I can remember. The reason it sits now is because the gas tank leaks and water got in. So to run it, supposedly it would only need a new tank and carb rebuild. Plus the normal other things I would have to do for a truck that sat for so long. I guess my questions are... -Is this truck worth $2,0000? -How hard would a V8/auto tranny swap be? -Anything else I should check for? -Last..how hard a fleetside beds to come by, I would pefer one... Some pics... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Any other info that would be useful I would love to know. Thanks, ~Kevin ![]() |
