Found a truck today, what is it worth????

[Graham57a]

Okay so my buddy told me about a truck he saw that was the same body style as mine for sale on his way to work the other day. We drove out to the place today and the guy was outside so we stopped and checked it out. The truck is a VERY clean and original lwb 1/2 ton 72 chevy. It's hugger orange with a white roof, cheyenne package, A/C, 350-350 clean. Turned it on and it purrs like a cat. AC blows cold, everything is extremely nice and original. The tailgate is straight, still has the band on it with all of the letters. The old man who is selling it is the second owner, bought it from a guy he goes to church with about ten years ago. The inner and outer rockers and flawless, the drivers cab corner has a little bit of surface rust, and one of the cab supports has cancer on the very bottom. Other then that, I would consider this a rust free truck. The original wheels and hub caps are all there and extremely nice. The guy had every registration receipt since 1972. Just curious what you guys thought the value of a truck like this might run. I was thinking maybe 7-8 grand??????

Haha, I didn't bring a camera when I went to check it out. If I go back out there soon I'll bring my camera. Sorry guys, I guess this thread will be worthless for a few days

Haha, I kinda got lucky on this one. Some old man had it parked in his front yard on a back road in the middle of farm country where no one ever goes. My buddy drove by it on his way to a job and told me about it. Turns out the guy who sold it bought it from the original owner in the 90's when he was having money troubles. The original owner still lives in the same house and his kids were pissed that he sold the truck to the 2nd owner. Inspection receipts show 138,xxx miles. Nothing has been touched on it, still has the jack, spare tire, original exhaust, absolutely everything. I can get more pics of anything specific if you guys want

[1972BackInBlackC10]

yea id like some more specific pictures of........ EVERYTHING! lol lets see some better pics of the inside and the engine bay of course and the jack pieces in place i have yet to see how that looks when its all there ogether in the truck

[Dieselwrencher]

Andrew, that is a super clean truck! Very nice find! Nice avatar pic too by the way!

[Graham57a]

last few

[shawno72]

I like it!!!!!!!!!

[Dieselwrencher]

Nice! Are you guys hoarding these now or what?

[Graham57a]

Haha, it kinda appears that way. We just found some really good local deals lately and couldn't resist. There is another one on the reel, a local truck bought new in Mooresville, the original owners son inherited the truck and doesn't want it. We offered the kid 500 for the truck and we are waiting for him back to us. It's just a plain 72 lwb medium olive 1/2 ton with rusty rockers but it'll make a sweet shop truck. That'll make the collection 5!! Oh and I found another 72 Sierra Grande in Wilkesboro that was SICK but the owner inherited it from his grandpa and doesn't want to sell it. Heck these things hold their value better then gold. And you can drive them while they increase in value!!

Haha, I think I can manage. But if I can't, I'll let you know

[1972BackInBlackC10]

lol i was just giving you a hard time, woud be a nice truck to own though if you do decide to sell it let me know, if i have the cash at the time id buy it, i am actually looking for one for the body to put on my swb frame, i posted an add for my motor to trade or to sell it but havent had any luck oh well though just gotta try and be patient

how come your dad wants to change the seat cover? that one looks like it in good shape, does he just like houndstooth better or is the seat torn?
