Love it

That is an extreme rarity fellas. Most people with one so new would just park it and dust it off now and then, but never drive it to keep it new. There aren't many out there like that to go around.

Hey, that is one nice floor. Looks better than the paint on the outside of my truck also lol. If you didn't do that someone did a heck of a job. Or is that original condition ?

This truck is compleltly original, including all the paint. Today it still has less than 2400 original miles.

The truck

Amazing story, what a find! Beautiful truck!

**jerry moss** · 05-28-2015, 10:35 PM

i didn't realize how old the thread was when i first saw it. that truck is beautiful, talk about a survivor. a collector buddy of mine has one thats close--- 72 CST, K5 blazer with less than 6K miles. he was a doctor here in the central valley and he kept it in a garage at his place in the sierra nevada mountains in case it was snowing when he took the family up there in the winter. Joe, my friend, you have way too many nice trucks for one person,

Joe has some NICE junk..

mcbassin · 05-29-2015, 11:09 AM

Hey Joe,
I have a question, Are these cab mount bolts welded? Did they change that at some point? I was thinking the front bolts were welded in.
I never get tired of seeing pics of this truck. The nicest survivor out there.

I don't believe these are welded in. I have seen them both ways. It must have been a variance from plant to plant?

I wish mine hadn't been welded in. It wasn't hard getting them out though, once I realized my Dremel tool was all I needed. My truck is a 1972, assembled at the Flint plant.

Easy to see why they were tack welded: it would have taken another man, with a breaker bar in the cab, and several extra minutes. That adds up.

Dayum!! Nice truck.......

briscuba · 05-29-2015, 11:25 AM

Wow, you could eat off those floors! No wonder what everyone hates you for it. HAHAHA!

**jocko** · 05-29-2015, 05:08 PM

caramba. however, as was pointed out - this is an old thread. I bet they are totally rusted out by now...

Cape Codder · 05-30-2015, 09:26 AM

I bet if you pulled the carpet from a brand new truck now there wouldn't be as nice a paint job. They barely even cover the primer theses days.

GASoline71 · 05-30-2015, 02:51 PM

Mine are almost as good. Just some light surface rust... should buff right out...
