Beautiful 72 Short wide bed with ZZ 502 Stopped by - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Classic Heartbeat** · 12-10-2007, 06:58 PM

This is one nice truck. My customer just stopped by with it to pick up a few parts. It has a 502hp ZZ502 motor under the hood. The whole truck is sweeeeeeettttt!! Lots of chrome, Corvette wheels, and Corvette Red paint!! Here are the pictures I took. WES

powell72 · 12-10-2007, 07:34 PM

Very nicely detailed truck, I like it. How come no one stops by my place driving anything like that?

68Stepbed · 12-10-2007, 07:35 PM

A Ram Jet 502 at that!! Sweeeeet! I'm not crazy about the Vette wheels, but still Sweeeeet!!

*Shane* · 12-10-2007, 07:35 PM

Holy Cow! That is nice!

action · 12-10-2007, 08:42 PM

502 is very nice, Whole truck is very nice. I think these trucks need deep wheels but that is me. Truck is nice.

69halfton · 12-10-2007, 08:58 PM

im not into the vette wheels, but that is one cherry truck

...no pun intended aha

That thing is sick!!!!

Cyclone44 · 12-10-2007, 11:04 PM

Nice truck....

Andy4639 · 12-11-2007, 12:29 AM

Nice truck, even the wheels look right at home on it though. Very nice job.

HotGMC · 12-11-2007, 12:36 AM

can someone pick my jaw up off the floor? hahah

C10-Driver · 12-11-2007, 01:08 AM

Sweet. I'm pretty sure that's the truck I saw on eBay last winter. The seller was in Bend, Oregon and if memory serves me correctly, it had a "buy-it-now" price of about 25K. I watched it for a while and was thinking pretty seriously about buying it. Very nice truck for that money... You couldn't build it for twice that.

badchev69 · 12-11-2007, 01:41 AM

This was my father in laws buddys truck. He did sell it a while back, he was in the salem area working at a local junk yard. Very sweet truck, even if it could use some better wheels. Interior was cherry too.

krue · 12-11-2007, 02:01 AM

very nice truck!

**Boog** · 12-11-2007, 07:01 AM

Yeah, I could see ME driving that one!

oh, uh, with different wheels of course..

weasel29gm · 12-11-2007, 08:12 AM

Like it wheels and all!!!!

7T2 · 12-11-2007, 08:13 AM

I like it. It looks like a big GMC Syclone.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 12-11-2007, 10:19 AM

C10-Driver, Yep, he told me he won it on ebay for $25000.00. He picked it up in Bend, Or. Your right about this truck being a steel at that price. A complete pollished Ramjet 502 will cost you at least half that money. There was some seriouse money spent on it and you can tell. I like the wheels on it too. I would probably go to some torqu thrust II wheels if I had it, but not because I didn't like these. I just like the torques better..lol WES

7T2 · 12-11-2007, 11:40 AM

In my opinion, you could black out the centers of those wheels, remove the side trim and probably add another $10K to the price tag.

HotGMC · 12-11-2007, 04:10 PM

IMO, it looks great with the side trim

bad6772 · 12-11-2007, 04:12 PM

nice truck.....always loved those wheels...and what a great power plant..........tony

WHYBYNU · 12-11-2007, 09:11 PM

That truck was in was a feature in a truck mag several years ago, i can't remember which one, But I would put money it's the same truck. Very nice looking truck..

72cheyennesuper20 · 12-11-2007, 09:33 PM

Leave the side trim, Ditch the wheels.

hvychve · 12-11-2007, 09:39 PM

Good thing gas is cheap....
love that engine compartment, the wheels I guess would have to grow on me.

Rokcrln · 12-12-2007, 12:24 AM

Yes that is one very nice truck for sure! I have never liked these wheels but for some strang reason I like them on this one truck. It might just be that I would never see the wheels as it flew by me with that 502

It does give it a retro Cyclone look!

So Wes did you prices go up when you heard him driving down the road

Was he running wheel adapters to bolt the corvette wheels on, since they're a 4.75x5 pattern instead of the standard 5x5 pattern?

Also, do I see a flush toneau cover? Any details on it.
