Long time lurker and finally picked up my own 67/72
I’ve always loved the 67-72 pickups as long as I could remember but was always hung up on other projects (still am). A good friend of mine was telling me back in December 2017 about his neighbor offering one of his c10’s he has sitting in his woods to a guy for $1000.... the guy turned it down. I took interest and finally got over in April of this year to take a look and agreed to the buy. Months or phone tag and bad weather we finally got together and got all the paper work done and dragging it out of there in the morning.
It’s a 1969 swb step side. The guy said he got it as a package deal some years ago with a 74 nova. He was planning on using both for parts. Then just parked them. Anyway it’s said to have a 350/m21 combo. What I know is it has a Holley carb aluminum intake long tube headers some aluminum wheels and some odd body mods. I’m sure from siting it will need some metal work however from what I can see the overall Truck is not in that bad of shape.
Today my friend and I went over and worked on digging it out and threw some mothballs in the thing and set off a bug bomb in it. Don’t want to bring home any critters. Anyway while digging in the truck we found the original owners manual and the original warranty papers and protect-o-plate. Along with old registrations and inspection records back to the 80s. Pretty excited to get it home and really dig into it.l!
