How rare is my truck?
Hi all. As some of you know I purchased my 72 GMC Super Custom 1500 about 3 months ago from my uncle for $500. It is a LWB with A/C P/S P/B 350/350. Original color. The truck came from Oklahoma about 10 years ago and has been sitting ever since. It needs new rockers and some very minor body straightening and new paint. How rare is she? I will never sell it. I am just curious. Thanks!!

It has the cargo lamp, two tone paint with woodgrain, and it's in good shape, sounds like a keeper.

Woah...I just looked at the pic...
![]() You got a heck of a deal on that, maybe the score of a lifetime. Definatly not the run of the mill as far as condition. Got anymore pics? |

Sweet price and nice options!
Truck options cost more, especially if you buy them 30 years after they left the factory. Fortunately you don't have to worry about that

Nice truck! I also have a 72 GMC Super Custom, but with a TH400. I love it to death! I got mine for a few thousand more, so you got a the deal of a lifetime. Enjoy it.

Thanks for the positive comments everyone!! It's too damn cold here to work on it in the garage so all I can do is dream, and play on the computer for now. I hope to drop in the newly rebuilt 355 in 2 weeks when I am on vacation. I recently cut 1 coil out of the front springs and put a 2" drop shackle on the rear. I also am getting the hood painted in a couple weeks as well. Here are some more pics:

Too late for me...I've already been trapped for 12 years now.
She is a good looking and dareing woman you got there. If she is as interested in your ride as she looks, then I say she's a keeper. (of course, many more issues at hand too) ![]() |
