Bought another one! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Tomahawk30 · 02-11-2012, 06:14 PM

Brought home my latest purchase last night and unloaded it this morning! Needs a little cleanup, a new power steering belt (and maybe pump), and probably an HEI conversion just because... Probably drive it a bit until I decide what I want to do with it! Original SWB with saddle tanks... Haven't seen many dealer installed saddles on shortys, so if you have a picture of one I'd love to see it!!!

Newtz67 · 02-11-2012, 06:48 PM

Lucky! More pics!

mud.man.rj · 02-11-2012, 06:53 PM

Nice score, I sure am lovin the 72 Blazer in the background, hmm nice.

Nice truck and a shorty to boot. I swear all the good 67/72's that are left are in Oregon, Washington State and Idaho.

Tomahawk30 · 02-11-2012, 07:14 PM

The shortcut in my signature has a few more pics. I'll try to get some better ones taken and posted this weekend. I'm thinking pretty seriously about taking the 383 stroker out of my son's project stepside and putting it in this. Maybe an overdrive as well? Going to have to look into doing a power steering and power brake conversion as well. Until I put more funds together its going to have to stay in tractor mode though...

congrats, I was eyeballing that very truck online - it seems very solid and I bet you got a good deal. glad someone on here got it.

Tomahawk30 · 02-11-2012, 08:08 PM

Thanks Jocko! It is in pretty good shape for the price I paid. Has some passenger side rocker and cab corner rust, but that's about it.

I'd stuff a built up big block in there.

mud.man.rj · 02-11-2012, 09:07 PM
