I am sure that was a good chunk of money in 72-73...

Cool stuff, I almost laughed out loud at pic three where it says "new aerodynamic cab" talking about the new 73 model.

The times are a changin...

That's where it all began for me in '73 when I bought my first '72 at Sport Chevrolet. Like so many,the previous owner had rushed in to trade his "old style" barely used truck for one with the fresh new look. I kid you not when I say that bed didn't have a single scratch in it! $2,800 on the road

Those wheel locks worked as well,if not better,than the locks used today. If you tried to remove w/o unlocking it just spun free and you'd ruin the wheel any way you tried to remove them.

The '73 "cabs" are actually a major aerodynamic improvement over previous designs. They actually were a major change and step into the future (same design,basically,into as far s the '90s). It's all about the windshield and A-pillars. The hood came to the windshield and kicked up,wipers tucked under,windshield laid back and bowed from end to end,no drip rail,and more rounded at the A-pillars blending into the sides.

I tended to buy from Desert Dynamics over Hickey. I tried Googling them up before and I got all these results for current desert racing enterprise. Not sure if they are the same or it's a re-use of the name.

I knew you would like this stuff tim. Hard to believe these were all throw away items, and now we have to pay good money for them!
