Czer's 72 Long bed
5 Attachment(s)
I started this project about two years ago and just now had some time to upload some pictures. This 72 C-10 Pickup belonged to my grandfather who bought it off the lot in 1972. He passed it down to my dad who now passed it down to me. Here are some pics of the truck from when I first got it from my father. He used it as a work truck and was in pretty beat up shape.

As you can see there was plenty of rust, cancer, and dents to repair

After taking it to a friends body shop and finding horrible previous body work I made the decision to take it down to bare metal.

We figured the engine should look as good as the outside so we stripped the engine compartment and started detailing it

Since the bed was off and everything exposed i figured this would be the perfect time to put in some air bags.

Re: Czer's 72 Long bed
Very nice job. It's a PITA to get everything cleaned and painted like that. Lots of patience. Hope to see the truck driving around when I visit down there again. Grew up in Cerritos.

Hey bud, can you fill me in on how you guys repaired this? And how it looks now? I have a little cancer forming on mine in this area, its not to bad yet but needs attacked before it grows more. |

Ok this cracks me up. My neighbors would have the police all over me if I did this in my front yard. One or two would not mind, but the rest of the old biddies would have me locked up. LOL

Not crazy about the color since it was not offered back then, but gotta tell you that was some amazing body work and detail!

Re: Czer's 72 Long bed
You dont happen to have the paint code for your truck? Ive been searching for that exact color for years. If you have it please let me know!
