I know I speak for thousands of people here on UA-cam . I am excited about seeing the truck as a finished project . I know everyone has their own ideas , mine would be to NOT to drive the Truck , but to admire it as a Brand New one in a showroom setting . your work is amazing ! . Thank You for sharing a piece of Automobile History . Ray in Pa.
Outstanding work and attention to detail. What a great model year and the story of where it came from. Colors stand out as well. I have a 1972 Cheyenne with 402 bbc; it is dark blue and white.
Thank you so much for sharing your Lambrecht Chevrolet Truck with all us Tubers. I was blown away with this whole story of a dealer that would never sell his used trade in`s. And even more strange he drove "NEW" vehicles to what was called his farm turned off the engine and just left them there, of course vandals stole parts and broke windows out on many of the vehicles. such a shame these vehicles were not stored inside for 50 years. Anyway I am so happy what you are doing for your Truck and for sharing it with us. Please continue to post progress of the restoration .
I would like to know how this dealer stayed in business buying these vehicles from GM and never selling them also taking used vehicles as trade-ins and leaving them to rot in a field.
it's gonna be a head turner, nice job. a/c would be nice while you're at it. great truck for a slide in camper if you can find one from that era. i love it. can't wait to see your next or finished video.
Nice work. I always thought the 72 was the best looking pickup Chevy made in the 70's. Looking forward to seeing the final video where you have the restoration completed.
Ripper you need to look up Auto grave yards here on youtube, The are thousands and thousands of unsold, brand new vehicles, in the grave that will not be sold as these were.
If you don't mind me asking what was the final bid for your truck, and was there a lot of challenging bids? also why didn't you buy two or three trucks or cars from that auction for restoration and re-sale, or to have one to drive and one to show ??? I know, too many questions, lol !!!
what the auctioneers should have done is sell the cars one week, then the next week have an auction of the cataloged parts for the buyers of the car/trucks, those buying the restoration cars had the parts to buy right there, it just needed the right organisation .
It’s sad they couldn’t keep these trucks under cover, it would have been worth it, I bought my 02 Chevy truck brand new, it has 30k miles, all ways in garage, theirs literally no rust at all, and it’s a Arizona truck it doesn’t rain a lot here! I’ll never sell my truck! People ask me all the time!
67 GMC pickup truck I've had for a long time I got you lots of things inside corner of my bed picked up another one for some parts Redbox I'll have some left so much on your arms and stuff like that that I don't need for my 67 if anybody's interested in it for sale so I got it good frame for sale anybody needs me cuz I don't need that money for my old truck and got gas and air conditioning Library

This is a really clean build your doing a fantastic job
You do nice meticulous work...and a perfect choice of vehicle.
You sir, are the type of people I look up to. I hope one day i get to have the same fun. Workin on it 👍
Wow inside of that engine was crazy! ⚙️🔩
it's gonna be a head turner, nice job. a/c would be nice while you're at it. great truck for a slide in camper if you can find one from that era. i love it. can't wait to see your next or finished video.
Ac wouldn't be original
Nice work. I always thought the 72 was the best looking pickup Chevy made in the 70's. Looking forward to seeing the final video where you have the restoration completed.
Great work. Looking terrific.
looks great, my favorite year
The transmission is a 350 Turbo-Hydromatic. A powerglide is a 2 speed.
thanks, hard to know everything about these trucks
@@boblantis6977 Too bad we are not closer....I would have enjoyed participating on that project.
Thanks for sharing . Perry
Beautiful pickup absolutely beautiful I bet it's worth at least $100,000
it may be ,,thanks
Nice job enjoy your ride
thanks
its kinda sad that these truck were never driven and left to rot
imagine a $50k Chevy truck today, never selling at a dealership... and just being stuck out in a field.
maybe even more if it were at one of the big auctions
Ripper you need to look up Auto grave yards here on youtube, The are thousands and thousands of unsold, brand new vehicles, in the grave that will not be sold as these were.
capeman10 I'm talking about 40 years from now... A NEW truck... it's not likely to happen.
Well take a look you may find these yards interesting. There are grave yards for new unsold vehicles. Do a quick search here on. the tube.
I'm amazed your found all those parts for your truck?
I payed a lot !!! most I found on Ebay
most the parts were from Ebay..
Any pictures of the finished truck
Need a volunteer to help with the work? Very cool past time you got going there. Excellent work as well.
thank you
I was wondering where you got the hood lever at
If you don't mind me asking what was the final bid for your truck, and was there a lot of challenging bids? also why didn't you buy two or three trucks or cars from that auction for restoration and re-sale, or to have one to drive and one to show ??? I know, too many questions, lol !!!
Part three please! :O
Savage Ginger the last one's out!
Hats off !!!!
Who were your go to parts store?
what the auctioneers should have done is sell the cars one week, then the next week have an auction of the cataloged parts for the buyers of the car/trucks, those buying the restoration cars had the parts to buy right there, it just needed the right organisation .
that would of been great had they done that.good call
Great job so far. Are you going to drive it when it is done?
+ssan3257 I would love to drive it ,,,but no ,, trailer it to car shows
+Bob Lantis Yes ! With the history and miles it would lower its value to drive it. Only a fool would drive it. Going to be an awesome collector truck.
the miles are meaningless when it's been completely restored. half the parts aren't even original.
Hey BOB I have a horn cap like that people tell me that wasn’t the correct horn cap for my 72
The horn cap that came with mine was so sun damaged .I'm not sure what the center color was,other than that, should be correct..not sure if this helps
Bob Lantis i’m dying cuz I hear 72 had that option
whens part 3 coming out
P.O.R. great stuff.....dont get it on ur hands
As important as a timing chain is, why use a nylon gear? I would trust that!
Whats the address to this I want to pick up some truck
Bob...Do you have a brother named John? And is he from Anytown, USA?
no brother named john
Turbo 350 Powerglide?
yes
wheres part 3 and 4
The front turn single lights lens and the side markers the aftermarkets don't last they Fade within 4 years the Factory lens Never seem to Fade
Should have changed timing gear ..with Cloyes all steel.
Any updates ?
