1972 Chevrolet C/K Truck

1972 Chevrolet C20 Suburban For consignment, a 1972 Chevrolet C20 Suburban that remains very original and comes with its window sticker, order form and Protect-O-Plate for this 53,015 non verifiable mile heavy duty hauler. The original 402ci V8 and classic good looks with two tone paint. Per our consignor, it just needs some tlc on the heating and cooling system and would be perfect towing your vintage trailer. Exterior Grapefruit yellow, the factory correct color, floats the expansive white roof that was common and popular on trucks in the late60s and early 70s. Beyond the paint, what you notice about this vehicle is its sheer size, nearly 216 inches long with a wheelbase of 127 inches. Based on the C/K line with 8 foot beds, the rear quarter stretches well past the rear axle and long windows resemble the sneeze guards at Shady Maple, (PAs largest buffet restaurant), its a lot of glass to take in the sights of national parks. Much like early minivans that came later, back seat occupants had an access door on one side only and while eventually deemed inconvenient, it sure is a cool design feature to have asymmetrical doors. While the design is epic and now rare to see, shes not without some patina and imperfections. Notable invasive rust is seen on the rocker panels and plenty of bubbling is numerous other places, and some surface rust issues along with pitting in some of the metal. Interior Sheridan design occupies the upper panel of the door panels which are molded Parchment plastic between body colored steel and all three doors are in good shape but do show with soiling that should easily clean up. The scroll design continues in the center of the front vinyl and cloth bench which also presents in lightly soiled but tear free condition. Tubular metal frames hold the second row bench which mirrors the vinyl pattern and manages to include an ashtray in the armrests and everyone has very good leg room. The brown plastic steering wheel remains crack free and shares the brown column with the shifter and indicator window. Theres a little bit of patina on the black plastic gauge cluster panel and gauges which include a 100 mph speedometer and the very basic information needed to operate this big rig. In the center of the Grapefruit painted metal dash is an aftermarket AM/FM/Cassette unit, the standard A/C levers along with an added clock, thermometer and the chrome air vent. The flat glove box completes the rather utilitarian design of the dash. Clean brown loop carpet on the floors appears to be newer and it looks good along with the white perforated headliner and overhead vent system which helps distribute air to the back of the bus. Way on the back there is expansive room, and the carpet is lined by an all weather mat showing some dirt, soiling, and a bit of usage. Drivetrain All just the way it left the factory when we open the hood, we see a drivetrain that continues the original and slightly patined theme. Its a 402ci V8, the factory correct unit and is topped with a 4-barrel carburetor and set into motion with a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission which sends power back to the Dana 60 axle with 3.54 gearing. Power brakes have a newer master cylinder and consist of discs up front and drums out back with new brakes and wheel cylinders. Undercarriage Plenty of patina in the form of surface rust, and some of it pitted, underneath. One crossmember has surface rust, rather significant, but the main frame is in good shape. Weve got some caking around the steering knuckles but no visible leaks. Dual exhaust finds FlowMaster mufflers and exits through chrome tips on each side behind the rear wheel. While underneath, we note some light surface rust on the bottom of the doors. Drive-Ability We light a fire under this Flint born vintage SUV and of course the 4-barrel lights up the V8 without hesitation. We hear a nice exhaust note in the far distance and roll this vacation vehicle onto our test loop where the high stance and greenhouse effect provide king of the road like visibility. The 402 has adequate power and the brakes work well to slow this behemoth. The A/C is not working as the compressor has been removed and the heater core will need replacing, but everything else on board worked as designed. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase. The flat face and simple tail light design on this 6 passenger truck, along with the two tone paint make it pure Americana. These were the station wagons for the more rugged set, the more adventurous families, and frankly, the families with more kids. Shes gained some patina since 1972 but she retains her original drivetrain and a slew of paperwork. We dont get many sixth generation Suburbans at Classic Auto Mall and this one is worthy of consideration.
