Ever wonder…… PICS - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

…… what one of these trucks would look like if it never spent one night out of the garage in the last 37 years?

Ironically, it started to rain as I took the pics, which was probably one of the few times it has been rained on.

WOW!!! that is 1 clean '72!!!

jugernot · 10-03-2009, 08:42 PM

what is the history on the truck? why did it sit for so long?

sleepertruck72 · 10-03-2009, 08:46 PM

That is one clean truck ! Please tell us more

37 yrs of being parked ?

brn agn · 10-03-2009, 08:48 PM

*gasp* I'm speechless!

JimKshortstep4x4 · 10-03-2009, 09:08 PM

Nice truck!

Are the paint stripes on the upper body original?

Jim

ChevLoRay · 10-03-2009, 09:27 PM

Those paint stripes were an option, in lieu of the upper body side moulding. I can look up the option number, but not at the moment.

Yeah, that is one clean truck. Rod & Custom magazine, back in the late '60's did an article on what they called "Uncle Daniels". Uncle Daniels were those trucks that were original and unmolested. Your truck, in my opinion, qualifies as an Uncle Daniel.

what are the two holes above the cigarette lighter?

looks real close to holes drilled for a CB radio mic holder.

bet it had a cb installed in it at one time ...... and that was the microphone clip.

*drool* what a beauty!!!

ChevLoRay · 10-03-2009, 09:41 PM

Looks like the holes that were left when the CB mike clip was removed.

vectorit · 10-03-2009, 09:49 PM

Always good to see a time capsule!

I myself would like to spend a day just looking it over, since as time goes by true originality of these trucks gets lost. (Would be a great example for repro people to study as well, since as time goes by what they make gets watered down IMO)

I agree about the holes in the dash, I noticed them as well and deduced that they were simply a mic clip mount back when CB's were poplular. Totally period for this truck, so I didn't think twice about it.

ChevLoRay · 10-03-2009, 09:50 PM

So, that's 3 votes for the CB mike clip.

The paint stripe code should be D89.

unclewatts · 10-03-2009, 09:53 PM

Just Wow!

rwolf9653 · 10-03-2009, 10:06 PM

I notice the gas cap is painted to match. Is that original? Or have I just never noticed that before?

**nbrfd007** · 10-03-2009, 10:08 PM

Killer Truck- Did you any paper work with it?

sameyrasmea72 · 10-03-2009, 10:18 PM

The paint stripe is original and is listed on the SPID. The holes were for the CB, That I took off because the PO wanted the CB back for some odd reason. The gas cap is original and I guess almost all the original ones have been replaced over the years. I wonder if all gas caps were body color or if the Cheyenne's and super's had chrome one's?

It has the owners manual, manual the emission control pamphlet and the protect-o-plate. It would have the original title, but the lady I got it from put the truck in her name a couple years ago when here husband died.

Longhorn Man · 10-03-2009, 10:37 PM

CST and cheyenne (only those models if memory serves) trim equiped trucks got a bright fuel filler cap, the rest were body color.

*highperf4x4* · 10-03-2009, 10:37 PM

Beautiful

Those holes look like they might have been for a cb mic clip.........
