Looking for 74-77 camaro in good shape

[mallard]

You guys are my experts here: I was offered a trade for my 72 rs of a 72 c-10 complete restored and it looks brand new. 402 engine And new transmission. I like old trucks but would you say it is a even trade? He is Camaro guy and wants my 72.

A 72 RS is a nice car to have but if you like the truck, it's worth considering, IMHO. 72Z28 I would say no.

Trucks are hot right now. A fleet side 72 short bed restored is about at the top of the list too. Value wise it's probably an even trade. Would you rather have the truck? Tired of the car?

Well my truck guy just disappeared on me. SO this brings up my next question since the Camaro are going to keep seeing each other in garage. I have "14 wheels on it (original) with the exception of one tire ring. It does not fit right and I bought some after markets and it still not fit. It also has a round hole cut out for the tire stem where as the others have a horse shoe cut out for the tire stem. I have looked high and low for one that matched the other three. No luck so far or they are in such bad shape I don't want to spend a lot of money to buy them.

Anyway I am thinking about going the new rims route. I am thinking of jumping up from my 14" to 16 or 17" rims. If I do this am looking at any additional problems (besides new tires) or upgrades that need to be done?

This one doesn’t have AC. Nice car though.
