That is a real nice truck, enjoyed the pictures too.

Another item that is consistent with original photos is the gray lock ring on white wheel. Hope you keep them, they look great!

sduckworth13 · 07-14-2021, 11:36 PM

Wow! Beautiful truck!

**allchevy58** · 07-15-2021, 12:16 AM

Beautiful truck, CONGRATS! My 71' Monte Carlo was bought new at Larry Barnes also. Maybe they were parked by each other on the lot.

The original lock ring wheels will definitely stay on the truck. It’s part of the look. The wheels were repainted in 1999, but they did an excellent job of correctly painting the wheels and the silver rings. Here the original spare with the original paint. I cleaned it yesterday and it will go back under the truck today.

Back when they used real rubber...50 years and no cracks.

Isn’t that amazing. I really don’t want to change them, but they do worry me a bit. They actually don’t drive bad considering what they are. This truck won’t see much driving, and when it does I’m not going to be driving it at freeway speeds.

They do look good but the freeway speeds would scare me too.

Looks way better with the stock wheels. Congrats

Congrats on an awesome find and purchase! It is like you had a time machine to go back and buy that truck.

HOTFUN · 07-16-2021, 12:31 PM

Joe
Your truck came from the factory with that chrome front bumper included in the Z62 package. The Z62 Custom/comfort pkg included the chrome upgrade "front only" bumper along with the stainless trim around windshield, back glass, and the chrome vent wings, and the "Deluxe" badge under Custom script. I don't have my Chevrolet sales ordering albums handy but I 100% know for a fact this information is correct for 1971 and 1972. If you can read the line build sheet I believe it will also indicate the frt bumper line build box as "ch" or something like that.

A 72 K20 I once owned had the Z62 pkg and a chrome front bumper, but the chrome front bumper was listed separately on the SPID. Joe's truck does not list the chrome bumper on the SPID.

Hey Mark, Custom Deluxe trucks in 71-72 didn’t not come with a chrome front bumper as standard. The code on my built sheet matched another built sheet on a truck I have with a white bumper. I have another one with a chrome bumper listed, but I can’t find where I put the build sheet. It’s here somewhere, I’ll find it and look at the code.

The green truck is going to it’s first truck show in the morning. Also taking my 9500 mile 80 K/30

**jocko** · 07-16-2021, 09:17 PM

Joe you need to drive the 80 for 604 miles first, then never take them off the trailer

I got my registration to the shindig while I was in Tennessee. Really wish it would have worked out , planned on hanging out for the week since the show was only a little over 8 hours from Lebanon . Would have liked to have seen your trucks

Correct!

**davischevy** · 07-18-2021, 02:33 PM

This truck had 58,000 original miles, and we bought it from the original owners estate. I did not have a chrome front bumper.

The reverse happened to me. I sure wish we could have made both.
