My dad had a 72. When I got my first truck at the age of 16, we bought a 67 work truck with a 283. About a month later, the t-stat stuck and I melted the engine to the ground. (Stupid kid!) We rebuilt the engine, painted it and then drove the wheels off of it. At age 18, I traded it even steven for a 1964 Impala SS convertable. I have wanted another truck ever since. 25 years later, when my son's are approaching 16, 17, any guess what I bought? 1970 SWB fleetside. I hope they have the same great memories with their that I had with mine.
