Finally got a 72 4x4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

onebadbowtie · 12-29-2010, 12:18 AM

well i looked for about a year now and finally came across a good deal. i pick up this 72 for $1200. its a 1/2 ton with a 4 inch lift and 35's. it has a 355ci v8 and a 4 speed. it has lots of rust and bondo but is mechanically solid. I drove it 2.5 hours home after buying it at 70mph with no problems so i'd say i got a good deal. what you guys think?

looks like you did good!!!

dan42 · 12-29-2010, 12:53 AM

Yeah, I would say that's a good buy, even with the rust. The drive train is worth $1200 easy.

Looks like a good buy. Congradulations!

Naaa! I'd take it back asap!

70 shorty · 12-29-2010, 09:54 AM

I'll give you $1201 for it right now!

onebadbowtie · 12-29-2010, 10:22 AM

thanks guys...i though so. I'd have to have more than $1201 for it cause i spent $150 in gas just to get it home lol. ive already been offered $2000 for it and turned it down. bad thing about the whole deal is me and a bubby took my brothers truck up to get it since it gets better mpgs than mine and my buddy hit a deer in my brothers truck and did $3700 worth of damage.

allengator · 12-29-2010, 10:46 AM

oh deer!

Bishops Trucks · 12-29-2010, 11:46 AM

Meatman · 12-30-2010, 01:03 AM

Holy shet!! I thought that was the same one, but I knew it was listed for 7k. Figured it was a different truck! Dang!! I just looked at your pics again and I see the second pic is at gas station on the Blvd across the Baby Dolls.
