Bought another one... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**68350** · 09-17-2006, 11:07 PM

...a 72 Custom Deluxe 3/4 2wd. It has a FULL option sheet, some of which include tilt, tach, am/fm, power lok, a/c, 402, th400, highlander package, tool and storage box, and much more. I paid 750 for the truck, and pictures will follow tomorrow. Should I keep it and drive it, restore it, or part it out??

**clay68c10** · 09-17-2006, 11:40 PM

Is it way rusty? If not, it sounds like a good one to keep in 1 piece.

**68350** · 09-17-2006, 11:49 PM

battery tray rot in fender and just a little bit under the tool box on the bed itself. cab is dang nice

**68350** · 09-17-2006, 11:50 PM

oh yeah, forgot to say it also has cab lights as some of you love them

krue · 09-18-2006, 12:38 AM

Keep it of course.

69-350 · 09-18-2006, 09:02 AM

good find, Doug. I'll have to stop by after work and check it out

Longhorn Man · 09-18-2006, 03:45 PM

ummm, we need pics.

Let the lights grow on you...they are pretty cool.

**FleetsidePaul** · 09-18-2006, 05:05 PM

Sounds too nice to part out to me.

forgot to say, the cool thing in montana must be to use cherry bombs for tips

Longhorn Man · 09-19-2006, 03:20 PM

I think I'd at least keep it as a single truck. It's too clean to part. But if you want certian parts off of it, I'd replace it with the standard part (say non tach inst panel for the tach inst panel) then toss an engine in it and sell it as a complete truck.

Ship it east, you'll get your $$ out of it... X 2 or 3
