Thanks. It is a 3 on the tree.

Plans are to just get it drivable for now and use it to commute the 4 miles each way to work. I don't know what it will evolve into, there are so many nice trucks on here giving me ideas I could easily get carried away. I've got an '84 C10 stuffed in the garage that I'm tearing into right now, but I found this and couldn't pass it up.

Welcome aboard!

I was curious on the specs of your truck, mainly the drop, wheels and tires.

Great looking project!

I would be interested to see those pix....I didn't know they ever had leather in these trucks. You sure it isn't vinyl?

I'm not sure what the seat came out of ( it was in the truck when I bought it) I think it's a Ford truck seat ,but I had the interior shop thin and shape the backrest when I had the interior done.

I am assuming to put a boat trailer down a ramp since it would be so hard to see around the camper body. Or could have just been to put a boat in the barn and see what you are doing.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks

Here's my 1970...

I bought this truck in 1995 for $3,000. I drove it once before I decided to tear it apart. Although it ran fine, it was primered, and after watching a season’s worth of PowerBlock Tv, I decided to tear it apart. The vehicle was in nice condition with most new exterior, bumpers, chrome and such. It actually looked pretty good, before I striped it down.

I had to put the front suspension back on to push it into the driveway. Here it is, ready to continue taking it apart for paint.

With the engine compartment painted, on to the rest of the truck.

My friends thought I was crazy for taking a nice running truck all apart. However, the interior was still stock, old, and it looked poor. Reason to restore.

http://c2.api.ning.com/files/LTfGWym...737&height=553
The last coats of paint came out very nice. I got most of the parts back on, except for the front end.

Getting the engine mostly put back together.

Ready for the front body parts.

Here is the finished interior, or at least finished for now. I had a real limited budget at the time of this restoration. I still have some odds and ends to do, A/C parts to buy, fuel tank relocation. I didn’t have a chance to take photos of the finished exterior, my truck is still down in So. Cal. Where I used to live.
