Got The Freebie '72 home - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was talkin' to a guy that builds '57 Chevys the other day and he was tellin' me about this '57 Chevy he bought and the motor was junk so he pulled the motor out of his old '72 Chevy pickup to put in it. I asked him what he was going to do with the rest of the truck and he said "junk it". I said, don't do that I will buy what's left from you and he said if you want it come and get it..... I did, today.

It's a kind of rusty Custom 20 but there are a lot of good parts on it and it has a title.

1BadSS,

I'm not going to do anything with it 'till spring....But that is one of the things I need. The brakes still work on it.

Joe67, I'm not 100% sure yet. I may do what 68GMC454 said. I have a spare 350/350 and the time. It depends on how rusty it is when I get to look at it close underneath. I'm going to do that today.... If the frame is bad or I wouldn't feel safe driving it i'll part it, but I probably won't be doing anything 'till spring. It's been pretty nice here but one of these days it's going to dump on us....

JAKES 68GMC · 01-03-2007, 10:49 PM

Pretty good deal for free. Looks fairly solid from here.

brak · 01-03-2007, 11:17 PM

definately let us know what you decide to do with it.

I gotta come down and get that frame from ya, and have no problem taking extra parts with me

Brak,

I'll also slide over to the local salvage yard and take some pics of what he has. There may be something there you can use....

The frame will be here in the shop whenever you are ready for it. Try and come down when you can spend the night and I'll show you around the area. Bring the family with you, we have plenty of room for everybody..... My wife said she would even cook breakfast.....
