72 BBC Motor Towers Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

smonty · 07-29-2004, 05:37 PM

I bought a 72 BBC truck and want to know if the mounts are the correct ones for 72. Would appreciate it if anyone who has pictures of them could email them to me at smonty46@hotmail.com Thanks in advance for your help. Ernie

The towers should resemble those found in 73 up trucks, not like small block trucks. They are flatish( real word??) and have clam shell mounts with the single bolt going through them front to rear or rear to front. No dents or low spots like 68-71 mounts. Don't have picture of either set of mine to show you, you might do a search and find a picture in an earlier post...

Not to butt in but nice frame 72 custom camper. All powder coated ??? It will be a shame to cover that up, guess the body will have to be a little bit better.
