Cool stepper, and a unique combo for sure.
I’d try to repair that fender. Even if you just push the dent out partially it will look ok.

Love the color combo! I'd say you found yourself a real gem.

67C10Step · 09-23-2019, 11:31 AM

Well, the photos did not disappoint and, as suspected, I am jealous.

As others have stated, I'd pull that front fender and work on saving it.

That step-side toolbox is pretty neat. Dealer option do you think?

As far as I know bucket seats got you floor carpet and gas tank carpet.

Lucky dog! Saw this one quite a while ago on CL and should have pounced!

Truck was bought in Nevada and brought to California many decades ago.

I was able to purchase from the 2nd owner (who knew the original owner).

Lot's of original paperwork! Check out the inside cab corners. Very little rust on this one.

Looks like I better save this fender.

Shouldn't be too hard to fix, especially if it's removed from the truck.

You sure it was on Craigslist?

I found it on Marketplace. It had been listed for four hours, and I was able to be the first one there.

Ptjsk · 10-13-2019, 10:25 PM

First addition to the stepside. A $50.00 original chrome bumper from the swap meet in Sacramento.

Not perfect, but much better than the old one.

That’s a nice truck

Husker · 10-14-2019, 10:02 PM

Cool Truck

Ptjsk · 10-14-2019, 11:31 PM

Thanks Guys,

It will get a full restore after I finish the Jimmy and the '63 Corvette!

For now, I'm going to drive it just as it is.

I don't thing it was a dealer option.

I removed it the other evening, and it looks like something somebody built.

Hi Pat, I love the new truck!

I see no one answered your production question. You're right about 1,736 Chevy SWB Step trucks produced in 1972. Unfortunately no data is left for the GMC's. The number is less, we just don't know how many less do to records being destroyed.

**1971Stepside** · 10-15-2019, 05:27 PM

I would love to have this truck! My current stepper would love to have a big brother. Nice find.

Ptjsk · 10-16-2019, 06:53 PM

Thanks for the comments Guys!

Couldn't wait any longer, had to get a set of 33's on there!

**clay68c10** · 10-17-2019, 06:58 AM

That looks awesome!

**Ol Blue K20** · 10-17-2019, 10:13 AM

Yes indeed! Very nice
