Nice 72 K20 Cheyenne Custom Camper with cab lights (sha-wing, that's a GREAT combo) on ebay. Has had the lower white added in the repaint to emulate a 69-70 deluxe two tone and has Super emblems added (although seller advertises it correctly as a Cheyenne). Gonna sit back and watch this one soar out of my price range in no time. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1972-Chevrol...JZJe3-&vxp=mtr

Ha, yeah, I expect you to be high bidder until 30 sec prior to the bid closing, then it will sail north of the 20th parallel I bet...

Beautiful truck for 11k. Good luck building it for that!

I just checked and its at 14,600.00 with 6 days to go on the auction. Private Bidding so yiou cant see who is or how many times and individual has bid. THis private bidding thing makes the hair on my neck stand up as it's ripe for shill bidding.

Any bidding makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up for shill bidders, ha. Well, the real tell is when it sells or doesn't and then is suddenly re-listed. I doubt that it's always the case that someone just happened to back out of the deal.

I'm skeptical of the mileage claim and why do people put different intakes and holley or edelbrock carbs on these trucks ?? not bashing the truck it's super nice , just leave the flat black spray bomb alone lol

I agree on all points. It seems like all of these "original" mileage trucks have this done. Why not try to preserve it as close to as it came from the factory?

I rarely comment on these ads. It looks like a nice truck, but...
- When someone claims original mileage on a vehicle that tops out at 99,999.9, I'd expect proof. In a case like this I'd demand proof.
- I also noticed it has a factory dual exhaust. Hmmm... I didn't think any of the 350 trucks came from the factory with dual exhaust. Am I wrong?

What am I to believe?

I agree if you are going to claim that low mileage, you better have a paper trail to back it up.

My truck shows 68,000 miles Yeah sure.

That being said, I'd take that truck in a heartbeat.

it's all relative, these would easily pass for each other's mileage..

most recent pics of 1965 bought new by dad and 2002 bought new by me;

69,000 original miles


178,000 original miles

Without seeing the truck in person I really don't see anything that shows this truck to be anything other than what the owner claims it to be. Back in the day intakes and carbs got changed before these trucks became so collectible. I'm sure the original exhaust system rotted out a long time ago and Dual exhaust was and still is something many guys like to add. My point is most guys here know what to look for to determine whether a truck is low mileage or not and one of the biggest things is that it must be seen in person.. Most guys that see my 100% original paint Longhorn call me a liar when I tell them its the original paint. If they knew anything about repaints or how these trucks were painted originally they would know... I don't mean to single you out in any way, this was just the easiest way for me to jump in on the conversation..

I know it would be unusual since it's a Cheyenne, but could this be a former fire truck? Could explain the mileage claim. The bumper & winch made me wonder if it was
