Can I ask if you don't mind, what you paid for the original black truck?

Re: 1972 4x4 Short Bed Project "Seven-Deuce"
 

I paid a little more than I should have, but it was less than a mile from my house, and there just aren't any original 4x4s around here, especially SWB. I gave $2500 for it.

Here are a couple updated pictures. It's been running good, I use it as my weekend cruiser up until they salt the roads usually sometime late December. I still have not finished the wood bed, I just cant seem to find the motivation for that. I did have some time to get all the moulding put on, that really finished it off.
I did bring it on the beach a few times this summer, the 4x4 works great. 4-Lo, 2nd gear and you just creep along. Its nice to drive right past the tough guys in their diesel F350's that are sunk up to the axles in the sand. The only bad part is the salt air and sand getting everywhere. I don't think I'll be bringing it on the beach much more as i don't want to start seeing rust rear its ugly head again.
Oh yeah i took home a "best of show" trophy this summer as well. It was a memorial car show for a local teenager who took his own life a few years ago. It was a young crowd with mostly trucks, and I was thrilled to have been chosen as the best looking one there!

She sure is purdy! Looking at yours is making me motivated to get back to work on mine (also a '72 K10 SWB) Thanks for posting your purchase price. Mine was about the same condition. I paid $1600 but now have around $9000 into it.
