Is that orange bucket seats?
That engine looks nice

It's a good looking truck. Wheels are easy to change.

Is it just me, or does it bother anyone else to have a gauge package truck with aftermarket gauges under the dash? That just grates me the wrong way for some reason (not just these trucks either).

Interesting find. I presume it was some sort of coachbuilt conversion?

They bother me from a usability standpoint. Haven't figured out how to put them where you can get a clear line of sight to them.

1972 did not have the 396. 402 or 454 and one one beef is why did he not take a pic of the other side where the 3rd door is and i'm not much in to any thing bigger then a 16

Lots of not what it claims red flags going on there. I don't think it's a period conversion, I don't think it 1 of 10 of anything, it's a one off custom, I doubt you'd see a "Forestry" truck that had super trim, I doubt any coach builder would build such a thing back then on a 5 lug C-10 base, I doubt a Forestry truck would even option AC in '72, If it has a 3rd door it wouldn't have buckets, no coach builder would go to the effort of adding 3 more seating positions in a truck in '72 and then loose one to buckets, and yea wheels are tragic, not an upgrade.
