Well I needed a few a parts and bought the whole truck from the orig owner. 72 with a 350/350 setup. after market under dash AC, rust free core support and doors. Needs rockers and one fender that was dented.....

after I get what I want it will be in the parts section!

Wow! That looks like a very decent truck. Great score!

1LoC10 · 01-29-2008, 11:18 AM

looks nice

468BIGBLOCK · 01-29-2008, 11:25 AM

I think all of the trucks that you find have campers on them!!! nice find for shure!!!

HavinSomeFun · 01-29-2008, 11:35 AM

Thats because everyone thinks thay are ugly and won't buy them. I took the camper off and dumped it already. Sure is a nice bed under that camper shell!

HavinSomeFun · 01-30-2008, 11:11 AM

do you think I should part this one or just sell it whole?

junkie jr · 01-30-2008, 11:19 AM

I likethat. Thats nice

Jerry Jones · 01-30-2008, 12:17 PM

It is a shame to part that 'ol girl. she is a survivor 4 sure.

468BIGBLOCK · 01-31-2008, 07:53 AM

are you going to scrap it?

BLACK AND BLUE 67-72 · 01-31-2008, 08:11 AM

I think that you should leave this one whole, looks like it is in very good shape!!!

HavinSomeFun · 01-31-2008, 08:47 AM

I think I will pull the eng/tranny and a few other misc parts and sale the rest whole. If I could trade for everything I need I could leve it whole and let someone have a great truck!

Select · 01-31-2008, 09:50 AM

Is that the huge power hungry York compressor? Those things worked great but slowed you way down when it was on.

HavinSomeFun · 01-31-2008, 10:03 AM

I think it is. I didnt really look at it.

ChevLoRay · 01-31-2008, 10:30 AM

Well, you just keep on dragging stuff home, huh? Nice find. So, the 350/350combo is for the '67? Or, are you still looking for the TBI/700R4 combo? And, did you take those pix at The Greens?

Congrats, mon ami. You have better luck than I do.

HavinSomeFun · 01-31-2008, 10:41 AM

I am still debating on the TBI/700r4 or just using this drive train. The pictures are from Conway, didnt catch the name of the place. If I use this setup I will have every part, nut and bolt I would need to do the entire swap plus disc brakes. I just hate to take this truck apart. It's to nice in every aspect! and yes I have been getting lucky on these trucks lately. However, I brought home 2 and have looked at 40. I am lucky because my wife doesnt complain about it.

72BlckButy · 01-31-2008, 11:00 AM

Nice score!

ChevLoRay · 02-01-2008, 12:29 AM

My wife has been thankful for my old car/truck hobby, in that I don't run around on her, hit the bars and pool halls, etc., like her first hubby did before he died. Still, after almost 30 years, she's established a limit for me. Every now and then, I get to fudge a little on something. I think I'll keep her.

That location in Conway looks like one of the many apartments that Jim Lindsey (Fayetteville) has built all over the state. We have at least three locations in Saline County.

What would it be to just swap the chassis between the two? Besides a lot of work?

RCbowtie69 · 02-02-2008, 11:11 AM

nice buy

HavinSomeFun · 02-06-2008, 01:09 PM

I am still torn about this truck. Gut it or sale it whole?

Bob 68327 · 02-06-2008, 01:21 PM

It's nice !!! How about just keep it and drive it ??

Good grief, in PA that's not even remotely close to being a parts truck! That's nicer than some 5-6 year old trucks in this region. I know some of you see those trucks all day long in the midwest, but it would be a sin to part that out. Clean it up, put it up for sale and send it east! I'm guessing you'll end up with a handsome profit. Seriously, it's way too nice to kill. Just my opinion....
