If memory serves me, I think all together, parts and grease cost right at $100.00 back then. I remember reading on this board that the parts are about that amount per side now. ![thud](http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/images/smilies/thud.gif)
Like a fool, that I was back then, I sold the truck when I found a '72 Monte Carlo that I just couldn't live without. Then I sold that car when I was being sent overseas...
Also, here's a pic of my dad back in the late 60's with his work truck...
Thanks "LostMy65" for the heads up on this thread... ![thumbs](http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/images/smilies/thumbs.gif)

Very cool photos, thanks for posting. Big window, chrome grille, even a spotlight! Sure would be a cool truck to have today.
