"A Few 72's" in Alabama - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

A few 72's · 05-12-2004, 10:15 AM

I signed in to the board almost two months a go, but never did a "first post" kind of thing. I did not have the camera when I first signed on, and it looks like it is a requirement post pictures of your own, so just held off, on the "first post". I have meet a few of you at the Memphis SCS and few more at the Truck Nat's in Pigeon Forge a few weeks ago. Had fun at both and enjoyed meeting all that were present. I posted several pictures from both shows but never got the time to post my own. I am in north Alabama, almost right between Birmingham and Huntsville Alabama. I have "A Few 72's" as the login suggest, and a few others as you will see. Tried to take a few quick photos of most, no real detail shots except for the ones that had the glove box sheet in place, tells more & easier than typing. A few are sitting in waiting, a few drove off and on, and one main daily driver.

Will start with my "Daily Driver". 1972 Chevy 1/2 ton 350 / T400. Truck had a step side, but had some damage where I got hit. Current bed is from a 67 SWB that I sold to a friend, after a swap of beds. No glove box sticker but had a few options based on the wood grain dash bezel & cab light. These are some of the first photos I took with the camera on the way back from around Jackson Tn, where I got a Blazer top from board member luv2xclr8. A few of you also seen the truck when I drove it to Pigeon Forge show.

A few 72's · 05-12-2004, 10:16 AM

Next is a 72 SWB GMC 350/T350, Truck was bought with the damage to the front where the driver hit a tree. We pounded on the inter fender some and drove it on the trailer to get it home. I pulled the grill and then used a come-a-long to get to where it is now. Have a radiator just about ready to go in it. Should know a little more then, but the lady told me see was driving it on a daily basis and the air did work. Has a late model seat, camper did not come with it, came from a auction for $5, and truck looked like a good place to put it for now.

A few 72's · 05-12-2004, 10:17 AM

Next is a 72 Cheyenne 20 super "long horn". 402BB / T400. Backed it out from the carport to take these. Came with and has almost most every thing but air/tilt/tach. I'm officially the 2nd owner of this one. Went from previous owner to his daughter, but was never titled to her. I drive some, but with gas prices, not lately. Got new arm rest and dash pad from Tim Christian, but have not had time to install. Will take a few interior pics later.

A few 72's · 05-12-2004, 10:20 AM

Next is a 72 sub. Deluxe 350 / T350, front & rear air. Truck was originally used for Mt Cheaha state park, thus the Spot light. Still has the state number in the back glass. Got it from the friend that I posted pic's of his blazer. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php3?t=103777
Drive a little in the yard, when moving to mow, but held off from putting on the road due to one more insurance bill.

A few 72's · 05-12-2004, 10:21 AM

Think this makes 5. I got the long one, so you should have guessed I would have the short one...
1972 Blazer. Glove box label is missing, but it does have the CST emblem on the glove box, and the deluxe marker lights. Was a 4 wheel converted to 2 wheel. PO did the swap, but I wanted a 2 wheel drive, so I got it. Have had for about 9 years, & has set the last 6 or 7 due to a spun rod or main bearing. I had bought the Long Horn with intentions of using the BB in the Blazer, but could not bring myself to do it, so this one is still waiting. Current thoughts are the motor trans from my daily driver or from the GMC.

A few 72's · 05-12-2004, 10:22 AM

# 6 is a 72 LWB Deluxe that I got several years ago less motor. 3 speed still in place. Got it mainly if I wanted the disk brake setup for my 70 LWB, but have left it intact, just in case I need to have as a driver. Air cab, but without the air setup. PO changed to a standard heater setup.

lukecp · 05-12-2004, 10:59 AM

Sweet collection!

72C203503ONTHETREE · 05-12-2004, 01:45 PM

Hello from Grant, Alabama. I'm about 30 miles east of Huntsville off of 72 or about 15 miles north of Guntersville. Nice trucks and nice car.

Mudder · 05-12-2004, 02:32 PM

I like that car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shan, Nice Group Of Toys, See My Old Blazer Top Is Still On Ur

fast71 · 05-12-2004, 06:14 PM

Man what a collection . I would love to have that burb Shane!!! looks great !!!

krue · 05-12-2004, 10:44 PM

Whew boy an I jealous! Very nice collection.

**Canadian694x4** · 05-12-2004, 11:15 PM

Wicked Cool-lection!!!

1969 GMC · 05-12-2004, 11:16 PM

wow! nice stuff!

A few 72's · 05-13-2004, 12:32 AM

Thanks for the complements.
Now if I could quit adding to the collection I would have more time and money to spend on the ones I have.

The car is a 1950 Deluxe Fleetline (roof line flows in to the truck, also called "Fastback"). Chevy also made a Styleline that roof line did a drop at the window, like the 54 body style. I like the Fastback style better, and you see fewer of them.

72c203503onthetree. I do make it to Guntersville from time to time, will have to meet and compare C20's some time.

**Tim Christian** · 05-13-2004, 12:46 AM

Shane and his wife are both a first class couple I got behind at the Pigeon Forge show and they jumped right in to help me and Deland out. Not only that my kids are crazy about them. That is what I Love about this board is the people!!!!!!!

A few 72's · 05-13-2004, 01:16 AM

Tim, Just don't let the kids see to many of these pictures, or they will have me a long list of "you know you want it" items for my trucks.
We were both glad to help out and enjoyed it, and would do it again. Have been dating for a few years, but not married.

I Knew It Was Some Of Our Trucks In This State. Hi.from Hyuntsville

72C203503ONTHETREE · 05-13-2004, 10:00 AM

Right now my truck is torn apart, I am putting a cam, Performer RPM intake, Carter carb and other stuff on it. I am doing it outside so I have to dodge the rain we are having. All I really need is some good heads, was looking for some 2.02 heads but havent had any luck. I found some good deals on e bay for Dart heads but dont have quite enough money to get them. Hopefully in a week I will have it running and we could meet then.

kingparts · 05-13-2004, 10:20 AM

After you spun her out at the go-kart track, she won't marry you now.LOL Great collection you have there.

Hi from Prattville (10mi N of Mtgy)

A few 72's · 05-27-2004, 10:06 AM

I knew there had to be a few more for Alabama. Will put this on the B meets site also.
I know this is the same weekend as the board meet, but you don't go and want to get a few trucks together in Alabama, I'm planning on taking the longhorn or the burb to this show. Neither are show quality, but in decent original condition and are body styles not seen very often. Show had 900 to 1000 entries last year, and a chance on the prizes is worth the $20 show fee.

First link is to Hemmings info on the show, 2nd is the flyer with a more info from the host site, pdf file for adobe.

Nice collection by the way!

That 72 Blazer is a good project!

AND THAT 50 DELUX WOW!

cheatham · 07-22-2004, 07:05 PM

#6 looks like the long lost younger twin of my truck! If I used some parts off of that one (keep it in the family- so to speak)

No Tennessee or Alabama jokes, thank you!

A few 72's · 05-13-2004, 10:31 AM

72c20 Have not had any deals with them, or heard any thing bad, but you may try "The Heads House Cylinder Head Exchange" not far out 278 west from Cullman. 256-739-4630 Think they have been there for 5 - 10 years.

Bestchecvyfan From What the PO of my daily Driver told me it was from Huntsville. Usually head up that way once or twice a month. Either shopping or just to go to OutBack for a steak.

fast71 Drove the burb for the test drive, about 2 miles, and Deb drove it to my house about 30 miles after I got it. Only thing she complained about was the rear view mirror was not mounted. Glued the window mount on, So I guess its road ready. Needs a little work in the rockers and the rear gates, but I have the gates from the parts sub and there the same color, so should just be a bolt on for that.
