Engine sat rebuilt on the stand so long I had to take the heads off to get soy beans out that the mice had sneeked in.

Everything you would want in a truck. Looks like you kept the original look.

Its 1972 Corvette red (Millie Miglia), Long bed, and I kept the original turbo 350 with the two piece drive shaft. Thanks

Thanks guys, The "give up" factor is pretty high on these! But its nice when you can finally turn that key and drive it down the road. I bought that truck in 1992 in Tennessee. Drove it every day for 8 years. Hauled everything with it, moved with it, one main harness fire. It finally was rusty enough it was going to be junk or was going to be fixed. I took it apart in 2000 after having just restored a basket case 1970 LT-1 convertible (1 1/2 years, I was younger) and then we decided to move. I put it in the barn with boxes of parts and it sat until 2008. So nine years of parts chasing, body shop chasing, sending repop parts back its done. I wish I would have found this site years ago, it would have made it a lot easier. Thanks to all the people on here that make this such a good resource for these trucks!
