Description of 1972 Chevrolet Other Pickups |
For sale - One 1972 Chevy C30. 350 v8 engine with 4 speed manual transmission. Relisted due to a non paying, o show bidder with a poor excuse. This truck was a project of mine during the winter of 2013/14. Like most of my projects, t was put to use before all the little details were finished. I'll list the good and the unfinished in detail. The good - - Engine starts easy and has good power. Holds good oil pressure and runs cool. - 4 speed works excellent and clutch is good - Brakes work properly - All four rear tires are new and fronts are 90% - New sheet metal - drivers door, oth rocker panels, oth cab corners, nd passenger floorpan. - Flatbed is all new steel with a new 2x6 wood deck treated with lindseed oil. I fabricated the bed myself in my shop. Flatbed measures 14' in length plus a 32" dovetail and is 86" wide. - Truck GVW is 14,000 - New leaf springs plus new helper springs. - Many new small parts, ncluding cab marker lights, urn signal and side marker lenses, eater control cables, eater switch, weatherstripping, ash pad, tc. - Paint was new in December 2013 and is holding up great - Odometer shows 94,692 miles. Speedometer works. - Alternator charges and all factory gauges in the dash work. - Carburetor has been freshly overhauled. Distrubutor is new and is 12v HEI. The Bad/Unfinished - Engine uses quite a bit of oil. Does not visibly smoke except on startup. Works fine for local runs but I'd overhaul it if I intended to regularly take long trips. - Power steering works, ut leaks quickly. I don't mind manual steering and I generally do not bother to add fluid. - Exhaust is new headers and glasspacks. Its loud. Cool if you like that, nnoying if you don't. - RF wheel has one lugnut stud with boogered threads. RR wheel has one broken stud. - Left hand turn signal works when it wants to. All other lights seem to work. - Body work is amature at best. I did it, nd I'm no body man. Looks good from 30', p close you won't be impressed. Hood had a dent in the front and the body filler I applied has a crack. Paint actually laid down nice and would look pretty good if it were applied to better body work. - Air fan switch should have a knob, ut its missing. Switch is new but I forgot to order the knob from LMC. - Drivers headlight ring has some rust on the chrome. - Never tried the E-brake. Brake light is on in the dash, ut brakes seem to work great for a '72 Chevy. - Drivers side floor pan was patched by a previous owner. It keeps the weather out, ut its is not the best job. - Clutch return spring is weak. Clutch works great but pedal does not return to its proper height without assistance. - No radio. Came that way in 1972. Its a cool old truck that needs some finishing touches. It will actually haul the loads pictured and I used it regularly. Truck fires right up and is ready to work. 3" thick by 12" wide by 8' long Oak bridge plank ramps included - they're heavy. Clean title in my name. No reserve. Please feel free to email with any questions or call 815-785-9005 - ask for John. |
