The ’72 Chevy Truck – An American Icon

The 1972 Chevy pickup truck tends to be the favorite of the '67-'72 series of Chevrolet C/K trucks.  Many enthusiasts would prefer to start with this platform for a restoration project because the '72 Chevy truck is the culmination of all of the best features from that era of Chevys.  These pickups have only increased in popularity over the years and should be a favorite of Chevy pickup fans for many years.  This is especially evident when you look at eBay auctions as the prices for quality '72 Chevy trucks is steadily rising each year.

The most sought after versions of the 1972 Chevy pickup tend to be the fully loaded trucks with big blocks.  The preference of bed size usually leans towards the short bed but many enthusiasts are scooping up the long beds as the 1972 shortbed Chevy trucks are getting harder and harder to find, not to mention much more expensive.

Classic '72 Chevy Truck

Since the demand for these trucks keeps going up, many project starters are content with lower quality, more banged up classic Chevy trucks as these are much more common and fairly easy to acquire.  With some effort and money, these enthusiasts are taking some very beat up trucks and making them into street worthy head turners.

1972 Chevy Trucks

1972-chevy-truckThe 1972 Chevy truck has the basic body moldings and build of the 1967-1972 build of Chevy trucks.

There are certainly some styling cues that are different from the 1967 Chevy truck models and the '72 models.  Notably, there was a new grill that was introduced, the egg crate version for Chevrolet and the black paint styling on the GMC versions of these trucks.

The 1972 version of Chevy trucks also include the Cheyenne (Sierra for GMC) model and accessories.  This years model also includes many more comfort features that were not added on to previous years.  These trucks also have AM/FM radios installed in them from the factory.  Very cool!  Light duty Chevy pickups from this year also include disc brakes rather than the high maintenance drum brakes from other years models.

The 1972 Chevy truck is considered by many to be the best overall designed truck built to date.  This truck is timeless and lasts for years with proper maintenance and care.

These Chevy trucks make awesome restoration projects and are an awesome platform for a modified Chevy pickup truck.  There are not very many vehicles that can turn heads as much as a properly restored classic Chevy or a modified old school Chevy truck for that matter.

Driving on the freeway, we are accustomed to seeing a sea of newer vehicles on the road and the result is usually boring.  If you put a restored 1972 Chevy truck into the picture, things change pretty fast.  A clean, well restored Chevy truck can set you well apart from the rest of the rat racers on the highway.

A modified Chevy truck from this era will stand out also and since these vehicles are relatively common when compared to other body styles form this era, you could conveivably have a classic modified Chevy truck for much less than, say, a Camaro.
