I installed the seat today. This is the first time I have had the seat in there with the new carpet. Getting closer to actually being able to drive it.

Re: Project 1972
 

Getting ready to put the door on the truck.

Re: Project 1972
 

I got the door installed, now I need to rebuild the vent window and put it all together.

Re: Project 1972

Re: Project 1972

Re: Project 1972
 

Very nice work!

Re: Project 1972
 

I pulled the air conditioning apart, flushing the lines, evaporator and condenser. I am going to installed the new style aluminum replacement compressor and a new expansion valve. I hope I can get this A/C working.

Re: Project 1972
 

Today was a big day for me. After a year and four months since I brought the truck home, today is the first time I got to drive it . I got my tags and insurance. I finished working on the a/c, installed the new compressor vacuumed and charged with R12. I am getting 49-50 out of the center vent, I thought in might do better. I drove down and filled up the gas tank and my gauge only when to a quarter of a tank. I had tested the gauge and I installed a new sending unit and float, I don't know whats wrong there. The truck drives and rides great. I put 20 miles on it.

Re: Project 1972
 

Congratulations! What a rush that is, the first drive after it's back together

Re: Project 1972
 

Man, you have done an excellent job on this truck! Did you use single stage for the paint? You sure laid it down nice and smooth! Where in the world are you finding R-12 let alone that isn't over $150/lb? :lol:

Re: Project 1972
 

Thanks, The paint I have been using is base-clear. I bought the R-12 at a swap meet , $20.00 a can.

Re: Project 1972
 

That's an awesome deal on the R-12!

Re: Project 1972
 

There is still a lot to do to the truck, but for now I am going to drive it. I cleaned it up real good. Future plans are to install a quadrajet.

Re: Project 1972
 

That looks very nice! It sure doesn't look like the same truck!

Re: Project 1972
 

Thanks, I sure do like driving it.

Re: Project 1972
 

I don't know how I missed this thread. I wish I could see the PB pictures.

Your truck sure looks good.

Re: Project 1972
 

Larry, Thanks for the complements. I wish the PB pictures where there. When I was looking for a truck I think I might have come over and looked at one you had for sale, around Jan,2016 I had my wife with me. I ended up buying this one local. Here is a more recent picture.

Re: Project 1972
 

I don't think it was me, because I don't seem to sell anything.

What truck did you look at here?

Re: Project 1972
 

It was in Harrison I found it on craigslist. It was kind of turquoise and white 71-72 super. I think it was also advertised on this forum.

Re: Project 1972
 

I love that color, but I don't remember the truck. Where was it located?

Re: Project 1972
 

Larry, I do not remember exactly where it was but I think it was east of town quite a ways in the country. He has several of these trucks.

Re: Project 1972
 

I remember a Super that was medium green and white on CL.

The pictures looked like the truck was at a poultry farm.

If he has these trucks, I'm should know him, but I'm drawing a blank.
