Brought another one home today! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BLAZERMAN · 12-06-2008, 07:30 PM

Found this truck last May and bought it but just now got around to getting it here. 72 1 ton with a flatbed and big block, 4 speed..pretty plain old truck but its very solid for a Kansas truck.

BLAZERMAN · 12-06-2008, 07:36 PM

The owner hit 2 deer at once and thats the reason for the home made grille guard..altho there is no grille to guard anymore?

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 12-06-2008, 07:38 PM

Nice find what are your plans for it?

LuckyHenriksen · 12-06-2008, 07:41 PM

Looks good. Thats quite the pic with all the Chevys parked all over the yard!

BLAZERMAN · 12-06-2008, 07:45 PM

Plans are to convert it to 4x4 and use my Cummins 4bt in it..I have 3 different trans combos in the shop that I can use but have not decided on yet..TH-475, NV-5600 or a T-18 all have NP-205s behind them.

Yeah.. the shop is full so a few have to survive outside for awhile.

**Yukon Jack** · 12-06-2008, 07:49 PM

Very nice, gonna lose the hood ornament? :-[)

Big Block · 12-06-2008, 08:01 PM

You can never have to many and its a big block. I like it. Lose the hood ornament.

**El Jay** · 12-06-2008, 08:05 PM

I like it.

If you have all that stuff sitting outside because the shop is full, what's lurking in the shop??????????

jeffspower · 12-06-2008, 08:10 PM

Nice score! Very solid too. Now get that shop cleaned out and get started on it

**LockDoc** · 12-06-2008, 08:42 PM

That thing is too cool. Good find... You could always call it the "White Swan"...

chipflyer · 12-06-2008, 10:19 PM

Keep the Swan Rob, you could just change your board name to Swanman.

Nice find, I think I have seen that truck before, where did you find it?
Jeff

**too much stuff** · 12-06-2008, 10:19 PM

Looks good rob. It sure ain't from minnesota being that clean! Looks like it may be time for a bigger shop??? Later, Eric

thirdstreettito · 12-06-2008, 11:06 PM

Nice score! Now for the sig addition! Man, I want a truck just like it but with a hideaway gooseneck.

**special-K** · 12-07-2008, 12:07 AM

Although a plain truck,it`s a bit unique how it`s built.You didn`t see alot of big blocks ordered in 1t work trucks like that.

Bus Ted Knuckle · 12-07-2008, 12:13 AM

Very nice, that is a great bed too

caminokid · 12-07-2008, 12:20 AM

Well we both got a big block truck today!
Nice score!

*chevy29267truck* · 12-07-2008, 12:33 AM

Spray-Bomb · 12-07-2008, 02:44 AM

Jeff, the previous owner was a farmer in Homewood, he bought the truck in Nebraska when it was 2 years old so its been in your area since then. I know he goes to Topeka alot so there is a good chance youv seen it before. Hasnt been on the road in about 4 years tho.

BLAZERMAN · 12-07-2008, 04:43 PM

The owner of this truck told me that the 1st owner had ordered a 1 ton cab and chassis dually but when he went to pick it up it was a single wheel C&C...I didnt think you could get a 1 ton C&C with single wheel rear. I figured it was actually a Longhorn that has had the bed removed at some point...any way to tell for sure?

Measure the wheelbase. 133" is a Longhorn/CustomCamper.

**special-K** · 12-07-2008, 07:35 PM

They made the Longhorn because they already had the frame from Stepsides and SRW cab`n`chassis.You could get narrow 9' utility bodies and 10' flatbeds for single wheel 60" cab to axle trucks.

72armyswbtruck · 12-07-2008, 07:44 PM

I have seen that truck before, when I lived over that way in Kansas, and I saw it somewhere else, maybe on Ebay orthe board. Can't quite place it.
Anyways, super nice truck for Kansas.
