Is this truck anything special???
Hey guys, I picked this up today mainly for the motor. It's a 72 factory 402, but there's a couple of options I'd like to get your opinion on. It has what looks like a dealer installed cruise control, and a "special promotion" package.
Is this a fixer upper, or should I go forward with the parting out? |

Re: Is this truck anything special???
If I saw the seat I would say that it was a highlander edition. Not 100% positive.

Re: Is this truck anything special???
Do you know that it is "dealer installed cruise control"? I don't think the underhood parts are era correct; it looks like a mid-70s to late-70s design.
I vote fix the truck; it is nice.

Re: Is this truck anything special???
That is a nicely optioned truck.Highlander,tilt,HD springs,Hydro-boost...... seems like a shame to part one with those options unless you're building one you want to add them to.

Re: Is this truck anything special???
The cruise control was supposed to be dealer installed in 72, there were a hand fully that had factory optional cruise, but most were under dash like that.

By the way, the same owner has a 72 Blue and white Cheyenne Super that had 3/4 ton running gear added. 100K original miles, too. What would a good price be for one of those? It was in comparable shape to this one, but had a 350. |

Re: Is this truck anything special???
Its got the correct dealer installed cruise setup with the exception of the servo, that is from a later model. Its got the proper switch and transducer.
That would be a nice one to fix up, much nicer than what we have to start with around here. Jeff

Re: Is this truck anything special???
Unless were reading one of randy's (teeitup's) post when he says to hang tight cus he might have a buyer for the whole truck....people send him pages of messages just to part it....sometimes i feel like a volture just waiting to pray on a poor truck! But then i remind myself theres always flea bay to buy parts from and if a member on this board is after a truck to save it needs to be saved!
