72 Cheyenne, swb,black, a/c cab. Perfect, I mean PERFECT body. Needs an engine rebuild and possibly some tranny work. The guy wants $4500. I'll run by there and get some pics but off the cuff, what do you think?

LuckyHenriksen · 12-22-2008, 06:08 PM

sounds cool, need pics

OARNGESI · 12-22-2008, 06:10 PM

Sounds nice must be really nice at that price with a bad motor and tranny good luck though

LuckyHenriksen · 12-22-2008, 06:24 PM

Ya I was gonna say the body must be real nice if the motor isnt

big_al_71 · 12-22-2008, 06:27 PM

haha someone had to post it

au03z71 · 12-22-2008, 08:09 PM

I'll drop by there tomorrow and get some pics. The guy was going to put a new engine and tranny in it but he found an 87' 4x4 and decided to buy it instead. I think the doubts will be silenced when you see it.

GOPAPA · 12-22-2008, 08:25 PM

$4500 for a ac cab Short box with no body damage ?? buy it and don't look back .. any place in America that would be a buy.. (A super buy ,,,papa Larry

ChevLoRay · 12-22-2008, 09:00 PM

If it really and truly is a nice, straight, clean body....you won't go wrong. Most of us have bought runners that needed body work, which is what most of these trucks are. Just be sure that it really is as nice as you think it is. I'm a good one to use as an example of thinking something is more than it is.

rambler · 12-22-2008, 10:09 PM

but check the body work carefully... bring a magnet. look for bondo in all the critical areas... ( I hate looking a freshly painted trucks or cars,, and especially ones in all primer... for that very reason)

kookykrispy · 12-22-2008, 11:45 PM

engines are cheap, smallblock chevies are all over the place and easy to find... straight and rust free bodies are not.

petey-pablo · 12-23-2008, 08:07 AM

Lets see the Pictures

Where they at?

72BlckButy · 12-23-2008, 08:58 AM

We need to see some pics to be sure, but if it's as good as you say it is, buy it and don't look back!
