Hey guys this is a 1972 truck that I bought when I was 14 in the 8th grade from a local swap meet. My parents said i could spend the money i made however i wanted so i bought this truck and its been a money pit ever since. Been working on it all through high school and college and now that I've graduated its time to finish it. Sorry if some of the pictures are crappy and out of order.

Great looking build! Love the color and how the gray engine looks perfect with it.

And the stance is awesome.

Looks great, you still got a classic look but with modern touches.

I know its not much progress but this weekend my girlfriend came out to the shop and helped me get the headlights, trim rings, and one wing window rebuilt. Just need to buy new locks for both sides and finish the other wing and I completely assembly my doors.

Are you using the Hill's front tubs? Do you have a picture of your steering hook up?

Re: Bagged '72 10 Yrs in the Making
 
I am using the hills inner fenders but I have yet to hook the steering up. I was having trouble with my steering column and was throwing around the idea of buying a new one so that is the next thing on my list. Sorry I wasn't much help. love your truck though man

No worries and thanks. I purchased a flaming river 33" and it looks like it will fit without adding extra steering joints.

I might look into buying one of those. I need to also buy a new steering joint because originally I bought a double u joint for the bottom and I really don't need it.

Jeh...Thanks man ill try and keep my butt in gear and keep this thing rolling:metal:

i know its been a while but im slowly making progress. I should have some narrowed porterbuilt control arms here Friday so I can get it back to a roller again and start putting the steering together. ill post up some pics when the arms get here.
