Hello… I'm in the process of building a 65 short stepper and just traded a rat rod project for a 72 LWB...
The first new vehicle I remember my dad buying was a 72 LWB that was red with a straight 6, 3 on the tree and no power anything… Being 11 at the time, I thought that was the coolest truck I'd ever seen...

He traded that one for a 76 just as I was learning to drive...

And like the 72, the 76 was I6, 3 on the tree and no power, learn to drive on that set-up and you can drive anything...
Not sure of my plans yet, the deal has just been done and I'll post more pics once I get it home…
Here are a few from this past Saturday when a friend of mine made me the offer…
