Project, one man 1 ton flatbed swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Joesjunk** · 11-03-2013, 05:52 PM

This is how I spent my Saturday. I have 2 '72 1 tons that are the same color, One is a Cheyenne/30 ( the keeper) and one is a Custom. I wanted to keep the nice bed off the Custom and put my old beat up stake bed off the Cheyenne back on the Custom. So I did the swap yesterday by myself! Took about 4 hours. Now the Custom is ready for a new owner soon.

The two together, no beds

**Joesjunk** · 11-03-2013, 05:57 PM

And the old bed going on

You've had a busy day Joe.

You learn how to do things by yourself when you have to. Everybody needs at least 4 one tons. I mean 2.

3 of mine are bronze or will be when other one gets here. Nice job JJ.

Is that the Cheyenne with factory buckets? That Custom looks like it will make somebody a really nice work truck.

I do feel a strange desire for a 1 ton.....not sure exactly what I'd use it for but that really doesn't matter.
