New Old Guy
Hello from N. Ga. from an old Retired Fire Fighter
I just found this web site a few weeks ago when I sold some 72 parts on ebay and the buyer told me about it . Seems like I am always behind the times , I drove a 72 Chevy truck for 20 years until a $#%&*@ made a left turn in front of me and wiped it out - his fault - my loss . I actually put it back together - new frame and all but it never was the same . It had a 383 / 400 Trans. - Holley Fuel injection , I did all the work . We used it to pull a Travel Trailer all over the east coast . I got the new truck bug and there it went - I still miss it !! I have another one sitting in the barn waiting for me to make up my head . 1972 LWB

Re: New Old Guy
We call it 'Ole Blue , It's actually my Grandsons truck but it didn't take him long to find out he's not a Body Man !!
I need to convince myself that I'm not either .
