I recently bought a 1972 Cheyenne. Completely original except tires & battery. I am really proud of it.

Congratulations! Sounds like a neat truck. Too bad they won't let you post pictures in this forum.

Yes. I'll snap some photos soon. I need to clean it up a bit. It has been in the shop servicing it. It has A/C & about everything available then. Positrack. My photos are to large to post on here
but I can send them to John or someone to post.
Yes, I will turn my hat around so I can be a cool old man.

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.

Sweet! I'm jealous. Congrats on a great truck. Here is Illinois it's really hard to find one that age that isn't all rusted out. Enjoy!

Holy cow! That is nice. Just made it under the wire. If that were a '73 we would have to kick you off the site. By the way, you need to update your profile and add that great truck,

Very nice. My first truck was a '72 C10 Custom. Not quite as deluxe as yours. Great score George.
