Hey guys, just posted my intro in the welcome section. I do not know much about mechanics or classic trucks, but I am selling my Harley and starting in this venture eager to learn. My dream truck would be a 72 cheyenne or sport 4x4 short bed but that will have to wait until later.

I am looking at this 72 cheyenne. http://raleigh.craigslist.org/cto/1431755287.html It seems to run good the AC does not work but frame appears to be in good shape. Guy says 7000 on rebulit 350 and 350 auto trans. Some surface rust and a family friend who owns 55, 56,57 chevy show cars and 59 show truck, said that he would not pay more than 3000 for it. mileage reads 57000, so i am sure its 157000.

The numbers on the Vin and Spid match.
CCE1428100640
BX2, C60, F59,J70, L08, N40, V63, Z53, 466, A11, B85, DG6, G50, LS9, M49, P01, VF1, Z84. MODEL #-CE10934. I decifered as much as I could but not sure what else to look for. Tried to do as much Search button research as I could so that I would not be completely ignorant.

Tell me wat you guys think, I was thinking offering 3500 max. I will be using it as a daily for a couple months and just tinkering with it. Figured it was a good starter for learning.
