'72 c-20 rat build

[lunatic_magnet]

my regular truck is a 2000 k2500... but it's too new. i had been keeping my eyes open for a 67-72 that could pull my car trailer. i ended up finding this bad boy on craigslist....


1972 c-20 camper special, 402, 4 speed.
everything appears to be original and the truck is relatively unmolested. someone went crazy with some white spraypaint under the hood...


it also has been rigged with some kind of dump bed setup. you can see the strange rear bumper setup designed to clear it... that has to go away in order for me to install a hitch.


i've decided to go with the admittedly-somewhat-played-out semi-gloss black with red accents. inside has been painted blue, i intend to change that to red, and go with red under the hood. the front clip has been dinged and damaged, so once i have the parts i need, i will hopefully have something that looks similar this when i'm done...
