WTB: Big block 71-72 shortbed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm looking for a good original unmolested shortbed big block truck. Thats a lot to ask for but I know they are out there. I don't want a showtruck, just a good original driver. If anybody has one or any leads shoot me a PM.

I think Burnsman had one for sale. It may have been a project though.

I don't really have a set amount. I'll pay a fair price for the right truck but not $12,000 for a driver with a fresh spray job. I don't want to get into any rust repair either. Just looking for a well maintained original truck.

You would be better off getting a truck with good metal and doing the Big Block conversion your self. Unless you go with a long bed C-20. The big blocks are extremly sought after not just as a complete truck but a lot of hot rodders like to take them out of our trucks for their camaro, chevelle, Nova, or any other kind of hot rod. If you do find one the engine is likely to not be origional.
