Bought this 1972 Chevy c30 out of Casper, Wyoming. It has a 292 engine.

Planing on removing the headache rack on it and adding better looking side rails. Will use it as a weekly driver and work it.

Just wanted to share with the Stovebolt

This looks like a great "barn buddy" for your 1938 Chevrolet 1.5 Ton Truck that's already has a DITY bay! I'm guessing you'll get some good feedback for this one from the gang.

Keep us posted! thumbs_up

It’s just a flat bed. Maybe one day it will have a Dump bed

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
