1972 Chevrolet Custom 10

This is a 1-owner truck that was bought new in April of 1972 by my grandparents. This truck has always been owned by my family, and has always been located on our family farm in North Texas.My grandparents special ordered this truck from Wilde Chevrolet in Muenster, Texas. My grandfather passed away before it arrived. My grandmother used it as her only vehicle for the next 29 years. The truck has never pulled or driven over 65 miles per hour. My grandmother used it to drive to town and to haul burlap bags of pecans that she had picked. When my grandmother passed in 2001, the truck sat under a shed until my father had it fully restored in 2008. A complete body-off restoration was done, including the engine, chassis and paint. The interior was left untouched. My father has shown it in a few local car shows, but never drives it. He is offering it for sale with the hopes that the new buyer will add it to his/her collection. He spent well over $25,000 restoring it to like new condition.As you will see in the pictures, this is a museum piece. It has 63,500 original miles. The restoration was done exactly to the build sheet, no aftermarket components on this truck. It offers full documentation: A restoration album, the 1972 build sheet, a set of Texas 1972 metal plates and the 1972 Dealer Paper Tag. It still has the original spare tire. The only items that are in need of repair is the Houndstooth upholstery seat has 2 tears and the original AM radio is not working. Everything else on this truck is mint and working.Here are a few of the added features of this special order truck:

350 V8

Comfort Steering Wheel

AM Pushbutton Radio

Gray Plaid Trim

White/Ochre Paint

Power Steering

4 Season A/C

Hydraulic Brakes

Turbo Hydra-Matic

Please feel free to ask questions. I will assist the buyer with transportaion. The vehicle must be paid in full and cleared my bank before it can be picked up. Thanks.

Boing!!

Just my opinion, but those hubcaps are uglier than a cat-poop snowman. Nice truck otherwise.

Highlander!

Yea, they are ugly but they are in fact Highlander wheel covers. A friend of mine used to say "there is a dead cat on the line somewhere". 350 emblems are in the wrong place and the doors are not 72.... but good looking truck

Ya those rims are ugly lol a nice set of ralleys would raise the value.

Those are wheel covers,not wheels. They actually help retain it's value as an original Highlander. Wheels are easy enough to change and rallyes go for cheap.
Too bad whoever restored it didn't know these trucks very well. It doesn't even have the "Deluxe" badges and the 350 emblems are where they go/ Either the holes in the fender were filled or,more likely,the fenders were replaced. I wonder why those and the doors were replaced. I'd like to see the pictures of before and during restoration. It is definitely a sweet truck.

seen this one on ebay yesterday.

Nice nice truck, plus there was a good pic or two of the highlander seat, which I'm putting in my truck.

Those hubcaps remind me of the 76 Olds Culass.

Just curious about the notes about the doors not being original. What make s the doors visually different from the '67-'71 doors?

There should be an extra screw hole for the vent window on the '72 doors.
