Parting out 1972 Custom Cruiser

gman · June 11th, 2009, 12:45 PM

I have a 1972 custom cruiser that I need to get rid of. I would hate to haul it off the the junk yard if someone could use any parts off of it. I took the engine and drive train out for my cutlass, but the rest of the car in intact. I think this car shares a lot of parts with the delta 88 and 98. I am in no way an authority on this, so check around.

Front and rear Bumper
Most Sheet metal
Core support
Front disc brakes
Power Brake booster
Roof rack
Fender Skirts
Core support
Big block AC brackets
Alternator brackets
Water pump
Fuel pump
455 intake
AC compressor
AC unit
Gauges
Dash
Steering wheel
Front power bench (great upholstery)
Steering column
Big block frame stands
Windshield
Chrome Windshield trim
12 bolt rear end
Upper and lower A-Arms
Clamshell rear glass
Tail gate

There are many more parts, email me if you have a particular part you are looking for.

I'm in need of a backup light lense, left side (they're probably the same) ...might also be interested in the brake booster if it's in decent shape. Is the steering wheel a 4 spoke rallye wheel? Do you have a clock? Thanks.

You do realize this is a custom cruiser, not a vista cruiser right. The two backup lights are in fare condition with some fractures in them. The brake booster is good. Steering wheel is pretty broken up, and its a two spoke.

What color is the front bench?

Could you post a pic of the steering wheel? I need the chrome trim ring that fits inside the steering wheel. My 71 98 has a brown interior.

What about the rear end? Is it a posi? What does the tag say?

elwood565 · July 1st, 2009, 02:09 PM

Does anyone know if the fender skirts would fit the 98? Or are they different to accommodate the larger/deeper rear quarters for the tailgate?

Also, did your custom cruiser have the little center console organizer? If so, I would be interested in that for sure.

gman · July 1st, 2009, 02:14 PM

I don't know about the skirts. I only have the passenger side. I'll take a picture of it if you think you determine by a pic. The front is an electric bench seat, so there is no center console.

I have the build sheet which I found in the door panel. I'll scan it and you can see what rear end was in it. I'll check on the steering wheel and get back to you.

elwood565 · July 1st, 2009, 02:26 PM

That would be great if you could take a pic of it, and the passenger side one would work, since thats the one I need.

I know the front seat is a bench, but some 98's and custom cruisers had optional organizer consoles that were mounted on the tranny hump. They didnt go between the seat, and they had a little roll back lid. It was an option, but I figured I'd ask and see if yours happened to have it. I've rarely ever seen them in 98's and only seen a few in custom cruisers.

Bob, I never knew about the organizer that was available for 98s. I bet that was a nifty option.

elwood565 · July 1st, 2009, 03:41 PM

Well Jesse, I'm kind of assuming that they were an option for 98's. New guy Kevin's 1972 98 has one of them, and I believe I've seen them in one or two others. But I know I've seen them in a handful of Custom Cruisers, and me and my Dad's 1973 Custom Cruiser had one. I just think it would be a neat addition to have, at least until I can realize my dream of putting 71-73 Riviera buckets and console in my 98!

do u still have the rear end, if so what grears are in it, and is the rear a 12 bolt thx rob

Sorry for the delay in updating this post. The custom cruiser has found a new home and will hopefully be cruising the streets again someday. Sure beats parting it out. Thank you all for your interest!

An initially sad thread with a happy ending!
Talk about using all of the parts to their fullest...

Olds64 · October 5th, 2009, 11:36 AM

Good to hear that you found a home for her.

I found a Buick version (a pic anyway) that has gauges installed but you get the idea. When I bought my CC there was another one for sale that had it but I could not find it, but here it is:
