Mikes 72 Build page

[itsmike2k]

Well I've started working on my 72 again. I have owned this truck for about 11 years. When I bought it it was a blue stepside with a 350/350. Its a Ac truck but the ac didnt work. So i drove it for about 2 years until one day the motor took a dump. So then in 98 i bought a totaled 96 cop car and pulled the lt1 and trans and started dissembling my truck. I installed the lt1 and hacked up the wiring harness and did get it to run and drive but I have never put the truck together enough to have it back on the road. I have buckets out of a 99, I think, suburban with katskin leather, a custom headliner and completely leather wrapped dash, pillars, back pillars, ect.. I had also bought a 96 stepside bed for it and started painting it viper yellow.. So that was a long time ago and like every project that takes forever ideas change .. So now the yellow is out, I wanna do a complete air ride suspension, I'm going to go with a fleetside bed, if I can figure out how to get bagged7185's bed up to Vegas , Put the lt4 cam kit and aluminum heads on the engine, and maybe a 67 clip w/ a cowl hood. I haven't figured out a color yet maybe a green. I'll leave the interior the same just finish it and figure out some kind of center conceal.. So that’s about it for my plans on my build.. So far I have the frame out and am going to start grinding and painting on it.. I have to order a few thousand dollars worth of parts and get busy ...
