JWall's 72 C-10
THIS IS MY OLD 72 - FOR THE BLACK 72 BUILD CLICK HERE
Well I decided I needed to start a build thread for the truck even though it is not a complete build... 1972 C-10 SWB - 350 Crate Engine with Mild Cam - Flowmaster Dual Exhaust - Custom Autosound Radio - GT Nostalgia Steering Wheel - Tilt, Tach, A/C - ECE 4/6 Drop - 15" Ralleys w/ 235/70/15 Cooper Cobras I have never really bought anything this close to being done but I really liked this truck and know a little history about it. I know the guy whos Uncle bought it new & pretty much where its been since then. Plus I really did not want to do a complete build at this time. I am replacing my 94 Chevy Show truck with this and didnt want to be out of the car shows during a long build process. Here is the truck as it sets today.... ![]() ________________________________________________________________________________________________ I had only changed a few little things in these pics...like the steering wheel, rearview mirror, painted a few things, new exhaust, etc. Here is is the first round of pictures with the 2/4 Drop & Old Center Caps... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by JWall; 09-26-2011 at 10:26 AM. |

Re: JWall's 72 C-10
Thanks guys. I have been working on getting it detailed out under the hood since these pics...painting and cleaning stuff.
I am pleased with how its turning out. It will make its show debut at the Darryl Starbird Show here in Tulsa in Mid-Feb. |

Re: JWall's 72 C-10
Nice truck, the paint looks great, and the motor compartment is really clean. I like your personal touches to make it look close to a Cheyenne Super. Trevor

Re: JWall's 72 C-10
I think you should leave the current caps on there. The newer caps detract from the OE look.

Re: JWall's 72 C-10
I thought about that but since the ralleys arent OE anyways I liked the look of the newer caps. Its something that can be easily changed back if I dont like it once its lowered.

Re: JWall's 72 C-10
I agree, they're not stock so it shouldn't matter. Go w/what you like.

Re: JWall's 72 C-10
I'm already jealous of this truck, and it's gonna get worse when you get the 4/6 on.
I'll be following this one.

Re: JWall's 72 C-10
Well I got the truck aligned today & got to drive it a little since the drop kit install and I'm pleased.
I am happy with the ride quality and the look. Cell phone pic of the truck on the rack... ![]() |
