72 swb las vegas lawn sevice p/u - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

A little history:

I graduated from Western HS in Las Vegas in 73 and my good friend whom I had know since 2nd grade bought this P/U to start his lawn and landscape buisness around 74. He purchased it from a gentleman who had bought it knew from either Fairway or Fletcher Jones which were the only two chevy dealerships in town at the time in May of 72.I moved away for good in 80 and he continued to use till the stock 400 gave up. He installed 1990/HO 350 with alum heads and blew a head gasket shortly thereafter and parked it on the side of his Dad's house and sat there till I bought last week. Been there about 20 yrs.Blah Blah Blah Probably around 200,000 mi with surface rust and usual wear and tear.Anyway we're gonna sit on it a while (a few weeks) and think about it and come up with a plan.

Top tier Highlander package. Very well optioned, hope you keep it close to original. Very nice score, and can't wait to see what comes of it.
