I had several of these trucks and always thought they were the best looking trucks of the 60's and newer. They also rode and drove well but did have a big thirst at the gas pump. Lately we have put LS engines in a 70 GMC pickup and a 70 Jimmy (Blazer) and now they are the near perfect truck IMO with both looks and 20 plus mpg. Your 72 (and 71's) are a step up from our 70's as it came with front disc brakes and five lug wheels. To ID a 71 from a 72 from 50 feet away look at the rear view mirror; the 71 attaches to the windshield molding and the 72 is glued to the glass. I predict your new truck will be a keeper. Picture please.
