You guys are going to hate me - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

griesel72 · 07-29-2004, 06:53 PM

because i got the deal of a lifetime. I "happened" onto a 72 truck today, and upon closer inspection, it was a cheyenne super and also a factory big block / th 400 truck. I finally found the owner, and asked him if he wanted to sell it, and he said yes. He told me that he wanted $300, but, being a guy who likes to deal, i offered him $150, thinking that we would end up in the middle, but he said ok, and i took it home. Did i mention that it has a factory tilt, and factory tach dash? In an hour, i had it running and it drives really well, considering that it hasn't been on the road since 2001.

i'll try to post some pictures, if it ever stops raining.

jorgensensc · 07-29-2004, 07:20 PM

Where was this guy that he didn't know the value of the truck? Let me guess he sold it with a bill of sale and didn't have the keys, but could hotwire it for ya, right

you're right, it was in a funny location, so i really didn't get a good look at the interior, and when talking to him on the phone, he told me that "it has tilt wheel, which is worth a little" and then sold the truck super cheap, i don't understand some people.

i thought about doing it in his back yard, but he had a couple "friendly" dogs that prevented me from looking at it real close with out him there, so i towed it home, put in some new gas, slapped in a fresh battery, dumped gas down the carb, and.... nothing, but once before, i had a similar problem, it ended up being the ignition module in the HEI, so i had an old dist laying around, and that did the trick. You should have seen the guys face when i met him on the road driving the truck that he sold me DOA just an hour before.
