that is one good looking truck, will make some proud.

Re: Fine example! What do you think? not mine

I don't recall ever seeing a well equipped solid Dark Blue truck. I like it. Not wild about the spot light either.

Re: Fine example! What do you think? not mine

That is in my town. Never seen that truck before

Add bumper guards, spot lights, bed rails and rain drips to the list for me. Really clean looking truck though.

Very nice!

Re: Fine example! What do you think? not mine

agree, very nice example in a not-so-common color of dk blue. And for a change, it would appear it's totally legit(!) Not a Custom10 with a stick-on wood glovebox trim called a Super. Refreshing.

I do agree, I'd have dumped the hood orny, bumper guards, spotlight - and I'll add to the list (unless I missed someone mentioning above) - I'd also nix the chrome on the engine. That thing is 2 valve covers and an air cleaner away from stardom.

Now, about that hood ornament - who knows where that thing came from? Were the EVERY offered on these years?? I didn't think so, but I've seen them on several 71/72 trucks. Just a common desire to stick a hood ornament on or were they actually something that could have been there?

Again, we're really nit-picking, it is a gorgeous truck and very well done - I'm so glad the restorer did it like it rolled off out of the factory for the most part.

All I'll say is this: Picture that baby with white steelies and the correct PO1 wheel covers. Oh my. Just gorgeous.
