And after the sale of my hugger cheyenne i bought a 65 shorty. but the 65 just wasnt a 72.(please no disrespect to 65 truck owners).really!, i like all early trucks but the 71-72 has always been #1 in my book. for ever i have been looking for what i consider the koolest truck. 71-72 bb.shorty. one day last week i did a search in the best site in the net! (this one) and run across this truck in a thread. ... with the help of "jocko" as he had inspected the truck up close, he put me in touch with the owner and suplied pics ect. THANK YOU SIR..... anyway. i called! we agreed on a price. and i drove to vegas and trailered it home thursday. he only thing that jocko wasnt shure of was the engine because the owner wasnt allowing any attempt to start it up. well being the truck was not only born in los vegas. "from fletcher jones chevrolet" with build sheet ect. so! and im a gambler. and in vegas!... i bought it. trailered it home. cleaned it up. fueled it up. fresh oil,water ect. new battery. primed the oil pump.new plugs. and she started right and after the choke allowed it to.
