Picked up a couple 72 BB trucks this week! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sameyrasmea72 · 11-22-2008, 01:51 PM

They both run very good, but one is rough and the other is rougher. I bet you can’t pick out the rougher of the two!

I bought the Cheyenne super mainly for the buckets and for all the NOS parts it came with. The Sierra runs extremely good and I might drop that motor into another truck.

**70cst** · 11-22-2008, 01:59 PM

The first truck doesn't look that bad. Nice score!

**breeh** · 11-22-2008, 01:59 PM

Nice score of parts!

71swb4x4 · 11-22-2008, 02:05 PM

You Texas people kill me.
The first truck is damn nice.
The second truck is OK. That dent in the bed looks bad, but otherwise a solid looking truck.
You guys have it good and don't even know it. But, that's a nice problem to have!!

Cyclone44 · 11-22-2008, 02:09 PM

That looks like a great score...

...My guess would be the Sierra is the rougher of the two......

72BlckButy · 11-22-2008, 02:10 PM

Looks like two good buys to me... nice score!

Critter · 11-22-2008, 02:13 PM

So it sounds to me like you're scrapping both of them after you pull the motors??

Not necessarily, The Cheyenne super has a nice AC/high hump/bucket seat/headliner cab that I was desperately look for a year ago until I sent my cab to the painter.

And, I hate to part the GMC, I love that truck!! I just don’t have the time to swap the cab and bed side. I have the parts, Just not the time.

72highlander · 11-22-2008, 03:37 PM

shame on the gmc, that's a clean ol' truck.

MrBeast · 11-22-2008, 08:15 PM

Got to love the pond scum green!

1956cameo · 11-22-2008, 08:48 PM

DANG!! I want a nice running, decent shape 71 or72 3/4 ton with alot of options and a factory BB so bad; and cant find one for the life of me. And it seems that every time I look on this board someone has found one and they are always parting them out! I understand your reasoning but it just kills me to see good trucks like these (or at least the green one) parted out; mainly for their motors. Wish I wasnt broke I would offer to buy them.

powell72 · 11-24-2008, 11:25 PM

The damage on the Sierra is a shame. I'd chop the frame on the green one, stick a short fleet on it and drive it for a while, people would drool.
Nice scores.

If you can take it apart....Then you can put it together....

...I had to say that....

Judging by the wheels/ hub caps, these are both 1/2 tons.

sameyrasmea72 · 11-25-2008, 06:18 PM

Yep, they are both 1/2 tons. It is a shame about the GMC, it would be a super nice truck. I am debating about supplying a cab and a bedside and let someone restore it.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-25-2008, 08:55 PM

I'll trade you some Iowa rusty parts for your rust free parts.

Just kidding man! Nice buy!

How bad is the cab? Looks like it needs a door, rocker, and cab corner. If the floors and supports are good I wouldn't replace the entire cab.

Good Luck!!!

gulfcoast66 · 11-26-2008, 12:27 AM

Nice find two 72's man wish i could run across one that look half that good and not eating up by rust.. I must be looking in the wrong places? Chris..

**special-K** · 11-26-2008, 07:35 AM

That GMC cab would require the same work to fix that area as a rustbelt truck needs to get the rust out

uter floor,corner,inner/outer rocker,cab support,maybe a bigger floor section.I`d rather fix that than a rusty one.
If you start pickin` on the green truck,let me know about the dash bezel and GB door applique...pleeze.

**Hart_Rod** · 11-26-2008, 12:35 PM

Are you selling the motor/tranny setup?

**CPNE** · 11-26-2008, 01:00 PM

I'd be interested in one (or both) auto column/BB-th400 linkage setups and one BB flywheel, if you part these

1956cameo · 11-26-2008, 01:08 PM

I guess I feel a little bit better knowing they are 1/2 ton. I still think either one would be phenomenal candidates for a resto in my book. If you want to make some money and sold them whole I am sure there are plenty of people on here that would buy them. I know I would if I had the money. If you do go the parting out route I guess I will be a buzzard and request to be at the front of the line for the Big Block A/C brackets.
