Well I ran down to the corner store and look what I find for sale. $13,900. I have never seen this truck in my area and really took me and my friend by surprise. Very clean 72.

Nice ride, the paint reversal would have to grow on me.Other than that I like it!!

I think I like the flim flam paint job. (it could actually be an original paint scheme)

Looks like an el cheapo resto asking good money.The Pep Boys trim on the side is my first complaint.It doesn`t even divide the colors.You can see white between it and the red.They got even cheaper and didn`t spring for another piece of lick`n`stick trim on the tailgate.On the tailgate...there`s a new woodgrain tailgate band which is correct.But being the only woodgrain on the exterior blows,especially on a red and white truck that just doesn`t compliment woodgrain.Nothing else is original,why start with one piece?It would look better black or color matched.I mean he wasn`t concerned with original anyway.The tail light trim needs the original upper trim or leave them off.He went with the standard window gaskets on a custom cab.
About the wheels...they do nothing for the truck.They may be nice on a wall or another ride or in a size that fills the wells.They just don`t pop to me.I think it would look 10x better all white or all red.Especially if he didn`t want to spend money on trim.Sorry,I`m picky at $13,500.

very good points... and you have every right to be picky with a price tag like that. That is a lot of money for an old vehicle... esp if it was slapped together for a flip - it sale.
However, the body lines are straight and lined up good... good signs of good work.

I agree with Tim (Special-K).The rims really don't belong on it,IMO.It would look a whole lot better with original trim too..

no complaints from me other than the trim (of course - thats a biggie --- and for that kind of coin, i would expect a factory paint job and not a flip flop (but maybe it is factory - they smoked a lot of dope back then)

The correct trim and differant wheels would set it off. I wonder what it would look like with the top painted red? What kind of motor is in it?
