Re: Finally, a 72 for me!

Picked her up this afternoon. Here's a few pictures after I got home.

The PO had the original spare wheel and original tire which you can see in the third pic. He also included the complete AC system from another truck. You can see some of that in the bed with the spare.

What you can't see in the interior shot is the box of parts from what they had started to remove & restore. He also gave me new door panels, armrests, window fuzzies, dash pad, etc.

He's also put a piece of clear vinyl over the build sheet on the glove box door to protect it. Anyone see anything interesting on there? Can anyone tell me what "custom sport truck" consists of? Is that the same as it being a Cheyenne?

Re: Finally, a 72 for me!

Some more pictures...

Engine compartment looks to be close to stock and in need of a good cleaning.

The side moldings from the bed & tailgate, along with the bed rails and tailgate cap.

The box of AC components scavenged from another truck by the PO. He told me he took everything. Hard for me to tell what's there and/or what missing. I'll dig into that later.

I've decided that my plan is going to be a 4/6 ECE drop based on MANY recommendations, 20's, and a 68 front clip from GMC Paul's. FYI - he emailed me a very thorough list of all the items I will need beyond his 68 body kit to complete that swap. Thanks Paul. It may take some time, but you'll get an order from me eventually.

That being said, I plan to sell the various items that I won't need to help fund my project including the moldings, fenders, hood, doors, etc. If you can give me any input on what these items may be worth, and/or if you're interested in anything, let me know. It may be a while, but that's the plan.

Thanks,
Matt

Re: Finally, a 72 for me!

I don't know the value but I would be interested in the bedrails and tailgate protector when u figure out what you want for them.

I'm interested in the inner grill outer grill shell and headlight rings, pending price...not sure of the going rate or even the close up condition, but I'm working on a driver and not a show truck and they look good from 10 ft...

Thought you may find this interesting, they list "sport truck" as the same.

Re: Finally, a 72 for me!

Hart Rod - I'll try to send you a PM tomorrow about the bed rails. I'm going to clean them up some to get a better idea of the shape that they're in.

Midniteotto - You've got the first chance at the grill. I'll try to clean it up an get some pics for you. I might need it a while, but when it comes off, I'll let you know. Thanks for the "sport truck" info. Much appreciated.

red69ss - The doors are going to need some work and GMC Pauls 68 body kit comes with doors. I would rather hang new sheet metal then attempt to save those doors. That's just me. I know a lot of people on this board won't like me trading old original sheet metal for new repo's, but I plan to drive this truck and I know how hard it is to keep rust from returning.

I also had a pretty funny moment today when my new neighbor (moving in today) knocked on the door and asked my wife if the truck was for sale. Unbelievably, she said no before I could even see who was at the door. He told me that he'd ask me again in 6 months if I haven't done anything with it.

I was wondering if you thought the 72 doors wouldn't work. How bad are the doors that you have? are the bottums rusted out like most? its hard to find good doors around here.

Re: Finally, a 72 for me!

Maybe it's just me and correct me if I am wrong but the spid sheet looks to be new like a reproduction. All the spid sheets I have ever seen had a different font. Just curios. Still can't wait to see your progress and good luck.
