Outstanding work...the quality of this build is impressive. I will be so glad when i am at the stage of getting my cab painted...I am getting closer!

Thanks for sharing your progress!

Re: 1972 Chevy Crew Cab “Denali”
 

No, several of us have the same dream truck...you just get to own it!! :)

A little sneak peak as to what went down lastnight. Will get more pics tonight

Have you figured out where you are going to get weather stripping for your custom doors?

Last round of pics for awhile. Hoping to hit it hard I’ve the next couple months and get this thing looking like a truck. I think I spent the last two days just staring at it..

This thing is so awesome! Your door gaps and roof line are spot on!

Thanks buddy. Definitely countless hours in that roof

This is quite a build! Thanks for taking the time to post about it. Your work is very clean and I like how you recreate or mimic factory details.

Thank you. I try to post up progress in the hopes it helps someone else with their build.

Little update…. Got all new cab mounts installed. Sprayed cavity wax inside all the nooks and cranny’s of the cab I could get. Got most of my interior stuff cleaned and painted. Installed new brake booster I got off the board here. Got the rad support and inner fenders painted. The outer part of the inner fenders I sprayed with the same textured liner I did under the cab. Also got both fenders finished up with the trim and badges. They are ready to be hung. Next step is to get as much stuff done on the firewall area and windshield in before I start hanging the front clip. Fourth door is hopefully going on tomorrow night. I love seeing this thing painted but now it seems to take twice as long when working on it cuz I’m trying to be extra careful around that fresh paint.

I love this build, absolutely incredible work. I cant wait to see it done!!

Re: 1972 Chevy Crew Cab “Denali”
 

Awesome! I'm definitely sure it will take twice as long now it's painted. It sure is a bad feeling to put that first knick in let a lone a scratch. :lol:

Re: 1972 Chevy Crew Cab “Denali”
 

One killer ride. I can only imagine how much time,blood and sweat you have in it.

Started putting some sound deadner in behind the gas tank. Reasonable priced stuff and makes a nice difference if you knock on backside of cab. Happy with it. Got my dash pad installed along with my OEM steering wheel and horn button. The wheel isn’t perfect and has some scuffs but no cracks. Nothing beats an OEM wheel. Maybe someday I’ll come across a better one to swap out. Got the gas tank installed as well. Had to put the small corner trim on before I got tank in so you get a taste of what trim looks like. Also finally got the 4th door hung and adjusted so now we got a complete 4 door cab.

Slow progress in the reassembly. Most of the under dash stuff is done. Need to get my vintage ac plumbed. Did restore my gauge cluster and temporarily install. Woodgrain really pops against the white dash..

Re: 1972 Chevy Crew Cab “Denali”
 

that looks so nice. have you thought about a white or color matched blue steering wheel?

Thank you. Was gonna do a blue wheel but never found a nice enough original. This black one is sickest I can find. My original intent was a Highlander interior and the column and wheel should of been black but I’m doing woodgrain cheyenne super interior instead.. souks look nice with all the blue accents

That Is gorgeous. Something to be proud of.

Got my original AM/FM installed lastnight. I will send this out to get rebuilt and updated at a later date. Just one more nice factory option for the ole rig.

Very Nice.

Re: 1972 Chevy Crew Cab “Denali”
 

Great build thread just spent the last few hours reading through it....

Re: 1972 Chevy Crew Cab “Denali”
 

Wow! Looks fantastic!

Started installing the upper and lower trim on the cab this weekend. Still gotta finish up the drivers side but passenger side is done. Rolled in the sun a bit and man is it pretty. Used mar-K trim on this build and am super pleased with it. From afar your can’t even tell I shortened the trim on the rear doors… also tossed the new carpet in to see how high to take the sound deadner. Had to snap a pic

Amazing, I'm hanging on for the next update!

Re: 1972 Chevy Crew Cab “Denali”
 

Wow is right. It looks factory only better.

Re: 1972 Chevy Crew Cab “Denali”
 

Nice progress!!

Got the windshield and trim finally installed. Wrapped up some more stuff in the engine compartment. Ground straps mounted behind engine and finished running brake lines to the master cylinder. Finally time to hang the front fenders. It was worth the wait… rolled outside for the last time for some pics. I plan on driving it out under own power next go around

Re: 1972 Chevy Crew Cab “Denali”
 

Just plain Awesome. What else could you say?

Re: 1972 Chevy Crew Cab “Denali”
 

Wicked Sharp this truck is......door gaps are execellent.

Re: 1972 Chevy Crew Cab “Denali”
 

Understatement of the day for sure. That truck is just pure craftsmanship! ;)

Re: 1972 Chevy Crew Cab “Denali”
 

No words. JUST …………..

Re: 1972 Chevy Crew Cab “Denali”
 

Thanks for the compliments my friends! I’m glad to see everyone enjoying it as much as I am. Can’t wait to get some paint on the bed and get that mounted on. I’m thinking by end of august I should have the bed painted and possibly mounted. That’s the goal anyways
Posted via Mobile Device

Not much progress to update. Took a break in the truck to start on the bed. Primered and painted all the edges that mates to one another and bolted it together for the last time. Got the tailgate installed and finally got to use my one year only 1971 cheyenne super tailgate handle that I got off the board here.. epoxy primered the bottom and sprayed the same textured stuff as I did on bottom of cab and inner fenders. Just gotta mock up the trim on the tailgate and taillight bezels and mount the bed to my dolly wagon and it is ready for body shop. Hoping to have it back before the end of august..

Back on the truck. Got a ton of small parts installed in the engine bay. Auxiliary battery tray, power steering resivior, rad and shroud. About 90% finished up with the vintage air install. Just need to finish some more wiring for it. Got the grille completely installed. I’m not a fan of the shaved firewall look from the vintage air so I installed an OEM AC box to hide all the connections and wiring coming out of firewall. Some probably won’t like it but it suits me.. gonna keep trucking along with this build but I’m itching to get some coolant in it and move it under its own power…
