Re: 1972 C10 - South Africa

The ad said 1974? but it is a 72 right? That has me a little confused. Did they carry over that body style elsewhere?

Re: 1972 C10 - South Africa

Welcome to the board. This is a cool "1974" model Chevy.
Please start a build thread. I'd like to follow along with the progress.

Re: 1972 C10 - South Africa

The first thing I noticed was that slot in the lower rear fender. I assume that is a step for easier access to the bed, never seen one of those before. Interesting tailgate. Overall, nice place to start. Congrats! -Ed

Re: 1972 C10 - South Africa

Interesting. The bed is definitely completely different than a US/Canada truck. Bedsides, tailgate, wheel tubs. All different. Completely different shape around the taillight. Look forward to you getting it running and some updates.
