A gem indeed. I like your future plans for this clean truck!!

**rharris** · 03-16-2021, 08:56 PM

Nice buy. I would love to have that truck and use it. The color and a GMC...just love it.

Kootenay64 · 03-16-2021, 10:12 PM

Couple questions for you guys, what are the fuel tank capacities? Main behind seat and auxiliary under bed.
Also can’t seem to get the seat back to tilt for access behind seat...?
My ‘64 seat tilts forward....but not the ‘72

**Steeveedee** · 03-16-2021, 10:17 PM

I think after '67, seats folding forward were mandated out of existence for safety reasons. The tank in my '70 is 19 gallons, but I think I've seen optional larger ones. Don't hold me to that, though. No idea on the aux tank. I have aftermarket saddle tanks that are 16 gallons each.

**davischevy** · 03-17-2021, 03:55 AM

That's a great find.

Kootenay64 · 04-21-2021, 12:07 AM

Ahhhh, that’s better!!!
Found some 16x7 steelies, sandblasted and powder coated white, pretty happy with the result....

52napco · 04-21-2021, 06:15 AM

I would take that over Pamela Anderson any day.♥️
Beautiful truck and yes I'm jealous

**rharris** · 04-21-2021, 06:41 AM

I don’t think it could get any better than that. Perfect!

fdbdw · 04-21-2021, 07:30 AM

2 nice trucks and a KTM, really nice grouping right there.Good call on the new wheels looks awesome. The stance looks better too.

**1970cstblazer** · 04-21-2021, 07:44 AM

Absolutely wonderful, except for the modern wheels. Like the 16's and caps, but some wide white 16.5's would even more enhance that beautiful thing!

I'm pretty sure the truck has had less body work.

And probably used less

**davischevy** · 04-21-2021, 10:07 AM

And the truck is beautiful.

**Canadian694x4** · 04-22-2021, 01:36 PM

I remember seeing that truck advertised. Looks great now with the addition of the Steelies and Caps!

Ekliptix · 04-22-2021, 10:43 PM

Great find in Alberta.

LT7A · 04-23-2021, 06:05 AM

Looks really good with the steel wheels and hubcaps. What size tire did you put on?

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!

Went with 245 75 / 16 in Sumitomo brand, seems to be a good tire so far, rides really smooth.

Beautiful truck. Congratulations.

What a great looking truck! Especially out of AB. Quite the find! Got a friend in Invermere with a nice 72 K20. Enjoy the drive.

Looks great! Hopefully you can enjoy driving putting some miles on it this summer
