View Full Version : Parting 62 Project

Hey folks! I have a 62 Chevy that I pulled apart to rebuild a few years ago, and ran out of both time and money, and it's been sitting (inside) until recently when I lost my storage. Now I need to get rid of it. Wish I didn't have to give up on it, but I've moved on to other projects. I'm hoping some of the parts will help someone else with their project.

Here's what's available:

1962 modified shortbed frame: The frame has been shortened to the same wheelbase as a blazer. It has also been narrowed in the rear, as I was planning on pro-streeting it. The front suspension is from a 72 chevy; it also has AIM 2" dropped lower control arms, 1" cut coils, and Chisolm dropped upper control arms.

Cab: has rust in the floors, all corners. I was told by a body shop that it was repairable, but would cost about $600 to fix it. Small rust pinholes along top of windsheild. Windshield is good, as is small back glass.

Doors: Pretty good shape, good glass. Usual rust, but they were dented by someone unknown while the truck was in storage (nice, huh?)

Front clip: Average shape, rear of fenders are rusty and need fixed; I have patch panels for the fenders. The inner fenders have the usual rust but are repairable. The hood is in good shape except that it has several high-point dents in it. Fixable. The grill is steel and in pretty good shape.

Bed: Unique 5' bed length. I was going to join it to the cab and have the world's only 62 Blazer. Bed is in bad shape, I was saving it for a template to build a new one.

I have some misc parts, but alot of stuff has disappeared over the years.

I'm asking $400 for the whole thing, and I'd rather sell it all together than part it, but I guess we'll see?

If anybody's interested let me know. I don't have anyway of shipping this thing, so I would rather you come to get it. The truck is located in southern Illinois.

This will be my first time posting pics, so I hope I do it right.....

C-1072, The regulator works well on both sides. It does have a brake booster, but it's from a 70's model Monte Carlo. I would be willing to sell you the front crossmember, etc. but the crossmember is welded in. Any chance you'd be interested in the entire frame?

c-1072, The front suspension is from a 72. It has stock height spindles, 2" drop lower and upper arms with new ball joints (they have a little surface rust, but they are still ok.) The spindles, control arms and springs are all powder coated.

I have about $600 in the front end, is $200 plus shipping too much? I also have nearly new rotors, new calipers for it. Interested?

I found some more pics, have lots more, email me if interested:

<whistle> All together? I wouldn't doubt if it'd be near 200#, at least..... the rotors alone are about 25 or so apiece, the calipers are a good 10 each, and I'm not real sure about the rest, but I don't remember them being light... The truck is about 2 hours away, I'll check the next time I'm down there, should be next weekend.

It looks like I may have the front suspension sold. Gostranger, I will have a look at it this weekend and try to find out some info on shipping this weekend.

Still lots of parts left. I'm hoping that someone will buy the rest of it lock, stock, and barrell, because I don't want to ship big, heavy parts. I don't really have time to mess with it since it's two hours away from my home. I will be glad to head down there to help you load up if you want the whole thing.

Here's more pics. I will be adding a list of parts that are left when I get back from the holiday weekend.

Have a great 4th! Remember the people that gave their lives so that we can kick back and have a beer on a long weekend in our free country!

Raphyel, the doors have both dents and Bondo. If you look at the pics you can see both of them. However, they are repairable. Let me know if you are still interested.

I could use the front clip and box.

I'm in South Dakota and could drive over to pick it up if the price is right.

1Ton, if you are willing to come and get it, I'll sell you the front clip for $75 and the doors for $50. That too much?

Sorry about not getting back sooner. The guy that I got the truck from moved to MN but he had the title at one of those payday loan places. He was coming back from MN to get the rest of his stuff and he was going to get the title out of hock. He came back and promptly disapeared without getting the title. Really not a big deal to me...I have a truck that I haven't paid for. I drove it until the tags expired in August. But now I have a truck without a title, no tags, and Lord only knows where he is in MN.

So...until I get something figured out on this, I'll have to pass. The price was excellent too.

What Do You Have Left To Sell............hemmit

Pretty much all of it. I shipped the front suspension, but after that fiasco, I won't ship anything else. So I've basically got all of it but the front suspension and the gas pedal left. If anybody wants to offer a reasonable price on the rest of it, *and will come and get it*, I'd appreciate it.

Wadeg, I can part it, but I really don't want to ship anything unless it's small. Let me know what you need....
