My new '72 "survivor"
Caught this on Craigslist on Thursday in Northern Kentucky. It now in my garage! The owner bought it off the showroom.

Re: My new '72 "survivor"
White with a plaid seat? Have I told you how much I HATE YOU?

That's a beauty! I love the wood framing on the bed too. Looks like the PO liked to haul.

I wish my truck had a plaid seat....I wonder how much a modern look-a-like would cost me as the seat needs reupholstered anyway....

You can buy it by the yard from SMS Fabrics in Oregon. I used to do upholstery, Thinking about trying to make some.

Very nice truck. Magic eraser will make those door panels look brand new again.

gorgeous! I thought you were looking at buying a blue plaid truck? Love the orange - probably my favorite plaid.

My "blue plaid" truck is at the paint shop finally. I took it apart in 2001 to restore. After a few delays, I hope to have it done by August.

Re: My new '72 "survivor"
Can someone tell what what this part is? I will ask the owner but I thought maybe someone has seen one or has one. Mounted on the right side, appears to have come with the truck.

Re: My new '72 "survivor"
TWO plaid trucks! My new hero! Ha. The stuff pictured above is an original air diverter. Theory is that it was used to cool the exhaust. Unknown if it worked at all, but it sure is effective at skinning my knuckles. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=314684

Well that answers that! Looks like I need 3 of them now. 2 for my other 72 and 1 for the drivers side of this one.

those are exhaust coolers , usally they have been thrown away , your truck is very original even battery cable , but those cool the ram horn exhaust manifolds as they can and will crack in the center ports , just forces a little more are on them , very nice truck kevin
