Truck for parts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

LawMan02 · 12-18-2005, 08:52 PM

Several days ago I passed a residence with a '72 Chevy 4x4 parked next to it. It seemed the truck hadn't been run in a while. I stopped and asked to look at it. This Chevy is the cousin to my truck. Exact truck with the exact equipment but mine is a GMC. The owner said that when he parked the Chevy several years ago it was still running. To make a long story short...the owner gave me the truck!! Come to find out my uncle bought this very truck new back in 1972. I'm unsure whether I should remove all the parts (axels, transmission, ect)...or just store the complete truck in the shop and use parts as needed.

Cool story I think you should keep the bed and just sell the rest to me

later Mike

Longhorn Man · 12-18-2005, 09:20 PM

Wow, can't beat the price.
Did you get it home yet?
did you get a title?
did you get it started?

LawMan02 · 12-18-2005, 09:33 PM

Yes, I did get it home. I haven't fooled with the truck yet. I really only wanted it for the parts. Mainly the power steering system. But the axels, 4 speed transmission and the transfer case look to be still good. If someone was really, really ambious, they probably could fix the old truck up. I don't have the time nor cash to do so. I didn't think to ask for the title but I'm sure that I could get it.

That's cool.

72 CustomCamper · 12-19-2005, 12:52 AM

Door panels and rearview mirror says the truck's a 71...

QKENUF4U · 12-19-2005, 01:10 AM

if you part it out and that grill is in one peice ill take it off your hands. kinda cool that you found your uncles old truck though. lol

**special-K** · 12-19-2005, 08:37 AM

I think you should restore it or sell it.You can buy the parts you want with the money.Save that beast!Not many K/20 Stepsides runnin`round anymore.I`d definately be interested in buying it if you don`t want to undertake a resto.What parts do you need?I`ll swap ya.It`s a`71,the mirrors aren`t original.

LawMan02 · 12-19-2005, 11:14 AM

It definitely could be a '71. I didn't get the title when the owner gave it to me. I wonder why some stepside came with the tire indention in the driver's rear fender and some didn't? I still not sure what I'm going to do with it. Probably no more than part it out. If anyone is serious about wanting to rework it, I live in central Louisiana, come down and take a look. I will check with the owner about the title.

shelby987 · 12-19-2005, 11:42 AM

i'll take the rims and the pb booster if you sell.
I would take the parts you want, and sell off the rest....if you aren't going to restore it, and are going to take the parts you want off of it for your own truck, might as well make some $$$ and keep some other trucks on the road.

*FormerMember* · 12-19-2005, 11:57 AM

Don't rip that apart. Let me know what parts you need to restore it. It would make me cry, that sheet metal's decent.

I have a cummins that would go well in that thing!

ctouchet · 12-19-2005, 01:41 PM

How much for the whole truck.

*FUNMUDDER* · 12-19-2005, 07:58 PM

The rockers look good from this angle. Nice find!!!!!! Your doing the same thing I am, looking for a whole parts truck for power steering

and have the rest for parts. Nice truck.

mudpuppie · 12-19-2005, 08:40 PM

looking for some step fenders .........

**Canadian694x4** · 12-19-2005, 08:57 PM

Man that's asweet deal and story too boot. I think ya should keep her and maybe restore it at a later date! Can never have too many trucks!

wibilly · 12-22-2005, 02:14 AM

i'll give ta what you paid for it +20%

krue · 12-22-2005, 02:21 AM

If ya'll want to buy and sell DO IT ON THE PARTS BOARDS IAW THE RULES Lawman02 hasn't broken any rules but some of ya'll are pushing it.

LawMan02 · 12-22-2005, 11:51 AM

I very sorry and had no intention in getting anyone in trouble with my post. My main intent was to get ideas from the forum on what to do with the truck and tell the story about the truck. I've since decided for the time being I will store the truck inside my shop and if I decide at a later date to part it out, I will post the parts in the right section and follow the rules. Sorry again for any confusion. Randy

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!!

67chevemall · 12-22-2005, 12:56 PM

keep the truck! Not in bad shape at all!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 12-22-2005, 02:29 PM

Keep the truck and restore it sometime down the road..
