Finally may be able to make the 69 driveable again! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So i was talking to dieselwrencher(Ryan) last week on the phone and he was telling me about all these 67-72's he found sitting in yards or fields on his way up to a car show when i spotted a pretty good find on the local CL. I believe he was a little jealous that i found it and he didn't, and i"m not so sure it wasn"t something he found while out on his adventure.

I found a 1972 c20, factory air, power steering, power brakes, and tilt. Alot of the rust has been fixed on the cab only needs cab corners and maybe one rocker fixed. Also has a super nice complete 72 front clip. Not motor, tranny, box, or rear axle. What would someone pay for something of this nature? I got the whole thing and another super nice RH fender for $450! So i think i'm doing pretty good this week. I might try to talk the guy into throwing the rear axle in the deal since its a factory eaton rear end with a posi.

Needless to say, i'm finally going to have a cab to put on the truck so i can start putting it back together and possibly be able to drive the darn thing instead of just staring at it.

Sounds like a good score! How about some pics?

I think that is more than fair for the price. But just to make sure we need some pics
