High School Build 72 Chevy LWB
 

Well im new here so my truck unfortunatley is an 8lug truck that is gonna be sorta funny its gonna be a custom 3/4 ton truck i dont really know what im gonna do to it so it looks good.I need ideas i'll say some bad things first

1. It doesnt run it was my dads dump run truck and he was comin back down from the dump and heard a knock and told himself oh it will go away and of course it did he downshifted when he really shouldnt of too high of rpms and blew the #2 connecting rod thru the pan.

2.the bed is 1 sheet of very rotten plywood you could touch and the wood would just fall out

3. its got some rust

Good Things
1. Its all original exept the engine has been rebuilt once its a chevy 350 4 bolt main with a 4 spd granny low no powersteering original big steering wheel seat is ok condition

Hey bro welcome to the board.

Don't worry about it being an 8 lug truck. The best truck for you is the one that is yours. Enjoy fixing it up!!

What is your vision for the truck? Do you want it stock? Do you want to hot rod it? Dream about what you would do if you had the money, time and skill and then go for it!!!

looks like a rusty but trusty start lol

so your in highschool? if yes..theres a few others too on here

Re: High School Build 72 Chevy LWB
 

yep in highschool

Re: High School Build 72 Chevy LWB
 

Sweet project. Your going to have fun. What are your plans/ideas?

Re: High School Build 72 Chevy LWB
 

well i wanna lower it couple inches and shave the emblems off and temporarily paint it flat black until i find a color i want
basically maybe get it painted while the engines out

The coolest thing ever that could happen would be getting a thumpr cam that would be awesome

Re: High School Build 72 Chevy LWB
 

Heres some more pics i found

Re: High School Build 72 Chevy LWB
 

A thumpr would be sweet, I am poking a Mutha Thumpr in my six-oh, and I can't wait to hear it. The specs are a bit wild, it should lope very nicely

Re: High School Build 72 Chevy LWB
 

I have those wheels, they look sharp in black:

What year of highschool man? Senior here..

Re: High School Build 72 Chevy LWB
 

Oh an how is the engine getting rebuilt? Stock, Performance, budget, or a combo of all three? A stroker would always be cool, but depends on the budget. I was gonna do a budget 383 before I gave in to the LS2

Re: High School Build 72 Chevy LWB
 

Good luck on the build. Im in highschool and have a 3/4 ton too. haha.

Re: High School Build 72 Chevy LWB

:haha:..... Im proud to be an AMERICAN, and will only show my flag on an real AMERICAN truck, Just my opinion. ;)

Re: High School Build 72 Chevy LWB
 

I fly a pirate flag on my Bronco when I go to to the dunes lol

Re: High School Build 72 Chevy LWB
 

well patriotically the flag isnt supposed to touch the ground but it got dipped on a couple hillsides some mud then my gf snagged it on a tree goin through the Burger King drive thru and ripped so i got a new one

Re: High School Build 72 Chevy LWB

Re: High School Build 72 Chevy LWB
