Approx value, 72 SWB - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

fade94 · 05-12-2005, 12:58 PM

This truck belongs to a guy I work with. He bought it in 1976 with 12k miles on it. NOTHING has been modified on this truck. All work has been maintenance work. Original motor, auto, A/C, power disk, tach dash, spare tire carrier with tire on it when he bought in 76. Slight rust bubble in front lower pass door. Rockers are solid. Original paint and interior. Power steering. He has the original wheels and center caps at home for it. He has the original owners manual, paper work, protecto plate. Out of curiosity, he wants to know what it may be worth. His daughter drove it as her first vehicle, now it is going to his soon to be 16 yo son.

Nice! My guess, for Texas, $5000-$7000.

Sillyoldman · 05-12-2005, 01:17 PM

I think its worth keeping. That would be a simple restoration.

I figure at lest 5000 ask where he got that set cover that is what I am looking for

I paid around $4,500 for my 71 in NC, and it looks about the same, except you have a tach dash, and Auto. About the same amount of rust too.

flip66- he said he got it from Leo's or Leon's upholstry shop here in McKinney. He said he has had it for years.

Nice truck...I'd do away with the cow catcher on the front end though.
