Re: found a 1972 gmc sierra grande...$400, is it a good buy
It's real simple, the truck will part for more than the 400 bucks...
Right off the top of my head... The wheels will bring 100-150 since they are 5 lug steelies. Everyone wants those things, even more than rally wheels in some case. An Edelbrock carb is gonna bring a minimum of 50 bucks, maybe 100 All the A/C brackets and power steering brackets should bring at least a 100 Power brake booster and brackets are gonna bring 60-100 bucks. That's not even trying either. There's a lot of good stuff on there.

You stole it.
I hope your conscience bothers you. Now that I'm done kidding, great deal. Congrats.

Re: found a 1972 gmc sierra grande...$400, is it a good buy
Okay. Here's the deal.
Buy it. If you can't get your $400 out of it, I'll refund the difference. Anything over $400, you owe me 1/2. You have to be honest about everything, tough. Do this and you aren't out a penny!

Re: found a 1972 gmc sierra grande...$400, is it a good buy
first thing for no power to check is make sure you have the wire from the battery going to the power box on the front inside passenger fender. you won't have power unless it's hooked up. scored a big block longhorn for 240 bucks because it "didn't run" that way.

Re: found a 1972 gmc sierra grande...$400, is it a good buy
Grille alone could get you back half of what he's asking! I paid twice that amount for one I had to tow into my garage. Gotta start somewhere. Just depends on how much effort and PATIENCE you have to put in it. I'd jump on it...especially if it runs.
