Just Pick up this 72 LWB today
Check out my 72 LWB. Just drove it home today. I've got a long way to go to make it as pretty as some of the trucks I've seen on here but its a good start. Its been well taken care of. Its got a GM Performance 350 with 28000 miles TH 350 trans. Rust isn't to bad compared to others I've seen.
Thanks for all the good info on here guys. I'm sure Ill need it. |

Re: Just Pick up this 72 LWB today
Nitis, It came with tilt steering. PO had a/c put in, hasn't worked in years. Not any other options I know of. Truck used to be medium blue. I want to paint it two tone blue and white. Just not sure exactly how to attack this project yet. Still just making list.

It needs new fuel lines water hoses right away. Also it doesnt run right. A holley 650 was put on it reticently and never really got to tuning it(there isnt a vacuum line connected to the distributor)

The most important option is rust free. Anything else can be added easily. Nice truck!

Nice truck! Looks solid , and as others have said rust brings a whole new kind of suck.
Have a blast building it into YOUR truck. All the Best, Dirk |

Re: Just Pick up this 72 LWB today
Yep. I like the LWB's too. Seems everyone is on the if it ain't a SWB's it ain't worth keeping mindset. Oh well, more LWB's for us.
