New and Need Majore Chevy 101 help! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

First off, Great site!!! I love these classic trucks. I need some serious help.

Im looking to buy a 1972 Long bed Chevy truck

Stats:
350 Motor - not original
4.10 Rear Gear
Long Bed
Runs on 93 octane
Muncie 4 speed
Disc brakes up front
Drum brakes on back
Painted green 6 years

The guy wants $4,500. My story is I would like a short bed. How hard it is to convert the long to short? I see you have to cut and weld (Way out of my leauge) Also is that a fair price? I need the truck for daily use as well. Any info would be great and thanks!!!

to the board from Mid-MO!!!

You'll find this place to become your second home. There's tons of information, friends, parts, .... and so much more.

Be sure to mark you calendar for the Midwest All Truck Nat's in Riverside, MO (September 11-13).

And the Midwest Board Meet in Kirksville, MO (May 30-31)

The pictures won't display for me, but it sounds like a nice truck.

Side note...

Check my signature... I'm actually selling a '72 SWB.

I could see these and it's a nice looking SWB, if that's what you really want, and he's asking less than the LWB.

Also, as krue stated, you would get a better response on the regular message board.
