Re: 72 is retired
i still have the 72 but i don't want to work it like i have been i'll admit it i'm one tough son-of-a-b on vehicles as overloadin and i want to make the 72 a street cruiser it's done it's work for 5 years for me and now it's time to take care of her and as far as the cab on the 85 that's about as good as they get here in vermont we have a problem with rust if it's ten years old you can bet on there being lot's of rust unless it was garaged all winter every year
