Check out the 72 GMC I picked up last week - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Looking to make this truck my daily driver. Supposedly it is a 61k original mile/paint truck that has only had rocker installed then a grey stripe along the bottom and some stick on trim. The truck has a 250 6 cyl w/ 3 speed manual with only 2 options of gauges and leaf springs in the rear.

This is my first 67-72 Chevy and I like it pretty well.
What do you guys think.
Also, tell me what you think it is worth, I think I paid to much but want some input from some people who know thier stuff.

here are some pics

Nice truck...welcome...couldn't tell ya how much its worth.

I like it.
It looks like a good straight unmolested, nearly original truck.
Those are getting harder to find these days.

I ended up giving $3500 for it and he was asking $4000 originally. I figured it was a fair price because it is in good shape and is pretty clean and original.

Also, I searched on here but didn't come up with anything, I am curious of what kind of steering wheel I can put in it. I would like about a 14-15 inch wheel and really want to stick with a stock looking wheel. Will the Camaro (67-69) or Chevelle (66-69) or even Corvette wheels bolt up without a problem? I have been looking on ebay and it seems for 100 or less I can get one of those that are decent.

Good buy and welcome!! Most of the early GM wheels will work.

Looks good to me...

i always like seeing bare bones trucks, i think it's kind of neat. I think the price was fair.

Nice truck. $3500.00 is a good price for a straight truck. Any steering wheel will fit with the right hub attachment. My steering wheel is for a corvette. What a truck is worth is what you pay for it.

How do you like your TBI set up w/overdrive? Do you get decent mileage out of it? I am considering doing a swap like that into mine or just putting a 350 w/ the stock 3 speed. Not sure yet, the more I drive it the more I want to just put a petronix set up and maybe an updated carb set up. don't know yet but I have to swap out the steering wheel first!
