72 1 ton Dually....what's it worth? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Chevyguy111786 · 01-18-2004, 03:41 AM

I'm goin to check out a 72 1 ton dually flat bed tomorrow. It has a 350 with a 4 speed manual with a granny gear. He says everything works on it and will even help me replace all the wood in the bed (with his lumber and stain, it's my barber and turning into a good friend, lets me store my parts out at his place and use his shop) The clutch is good, it has the ORIGINAL radio in it...the dash has not been hacked!!! it's a heat truck..i think. will check on that. power disc brakes, power steering. He's askin 1500, I think it's worth it. But haven't seen it. What do you all think? If I don't get it, i'll post pics and a number for you all.

if it hasn't been beat to death, then I say it sounds like a good deal.

Chevyguy111786 · 01-18-2004, 04:27 AM

I forgot to mention it has a gooseneck hook-up. And the back tires are in almost new condition.

1969 GMC · 01-18-2004, 05:10 AM

any cool options on it, like towhooks or a detroit locker (no spin). can you read the RPO sheet on the gb door?

*ILIVE4TRUCKS* · 01-18-2004, 05:50 AM

I would say its worth about 5 mpg.. Sounds like a good deal

Longhorn Man · 01-18-2004, 12:37 PM

In case you are thinking of putting a bad on it, you won't be able to slap a regular long bed on there. If it is the 133 inch wheel base, then you can get an 8 1/2 foot longhorn bed, or a 9 foot step side bed.

**old Rusty C10** · 01-18-2004, 02:01 PM

whether or not you get it post pics it like all chevy trucks, are worth looking at

Chevyguy111786 · 01-18-2004, 09:05 PM

Went to look at it. Forgot the camera. It needs one cab corner, one rocker. Engine runs good, but doesn't look all that pretty. It's got surface rust. For 1200 he said he would help me replace the bed, he has some good fenders and a really good grille he would throw in. So i would need a winshield, dash pad, seat, and some TLC to take care of the cosmetics....good deal or no?

Blue Beard · 01-18-2004, 09:16 PM

Earlier post of someone finding one, real nice for $7500

Leadfoot · 01-18-2004, 09:53 PM

Not to step on your thread Chevtguy111786, but if anyone here in WA state is looking for a 1 ton there's 2 of em here in Skagit Valley.PM me for more info. Thanks.

Longhorn Man · 01-19-2004, 01:01 AM

1200 bucks and you can drive it home... sounds like a winner IF a one ton flat bed is what you want.

Chevyguy111786 · 01-19-2004, 01:26 AM

I think i'm gonna get it. He said if i buy it, he'll help me fix it up real nice. So doesn't sound like a half bad deal, get a good start for a project, a place to work on it, AND help from an expierienced person....

Blue Beard · 01-19-2004, 08:40 AM

Question being why didn't he fix it up really nice before..........

**Yukon Jack** · 01-19-2004, 12:31 PM

Go for it, sounds like you can't lose at that price and the help he is offering you.

Chevyguy111786 · 01-19-2004, 01:28 PM

He has a 70 1 ton he just finished. And a 68 Stepside he's gonna fix up a little and sell. He and his buddy are also fixing up a 40 something willly's p.u. so, he's got a couple projects in line. He likes to buy them, fix the small stuff that don't cost money just time, and sell them for a profit. Thanks yall.

**old Rusty C10** · 01-19-2004, 02:46 PM

bein youre goin bakc how about bringing your camera this time!!!

Chevyguy111786 · 01-19-2004, 11:36 PM

haha, yeah, i'll remember this time. Trip turned out bad, got a ticket on the way home, and it wasn't the way i usually take home. Then tonight MY 70 chevy stopped running, acted like the alternater went out, lights went out and wouldn't start back up. But i don't think it's the alternator. SO, i gotta get it home tomorrow and tear into it. Hopefully i'll figure it out soon.
