Enjoying "Nanad's" Old Yeller 72 LWB Fleet

[JamieGallien]

This thread will be just to share my family's enjoyment of my late granddad's 72 Chevy lwb fleetside pickup. Fixing up, driving, and just using it for what it was built for.

My granddad "Nanad" bought this old 72 off a farm in 1997. It had been purchased new just to be a farm truck. When nanad bought it it had about 50k original miles and even still had the plastic on the passenger side of the seat with the seat belts still folded like factory. According to the owner's widow, the truck had only been driven to the coop and back for supplies. It had been used to carry (and store) salt for his cattle among other things. There is rust everywhere, but it's still a solid old truck, runs well with a factory th350 as the only option purchased.
