1st post and need advice...
I found this board about a week ago and just got the "clearance" to post... I want to get back into these trucks and have been lookin for about 2yrs. Dang, they are hard to come by without giving up your 1stborn!!! Anyone have any ideas for me? btw, whats the difference between a '72 chevy and gmc shortbed? Is one harder to get parts for then the other?

Re: 1st post and need advice...
First off, welcome to the board. You're pretty lucky since you live in Arizona. If you keep your eyes/ears open, and get as many of those free trader papers that you can, you should be able to find a fairly straight truck for not a ton of money. I can't give you a pricerange, but I can tell you that a GMC will be more "rare" than a Chevy. I think the formula works out to 3 Chevys produced for each GMC. Parts-wise, other than the front grille and radiator support, all sheetmetal should interchange. There are differences in what years fit what, but very few differences between the two brands.

Welcome to the board. I believe the GMC would be a litte harder finding parts for. (Front end/ tailgate). Thats probably all the differences there are.

Re: 1st post and need advice...
thanks for the reponses... I will continue to watch...
what are the chances of getting factory air into a truck w/o that option? would the whole dash, etc have to be replaced? |

Re: 1st post and need advice...
I knew a guy once added it to his and he just cut the holes in the dash.
