My 4x4 72 is almost done....

I am restoring a 1972 chevy 4x4 c10
I had a high performance 454 built for it
and now getting it painted chevy bright white with white pearl.
The interior is black leather with bergundy plush mixed.
I still need a few things:
- full a/c with controls, vents, etc... (need a good priced supplier)
- all new gauges, with tach (need a good priced supplier)
- then I will be lifting it putting mickey thompson rims and tires. (need a good priced supplier)
- emblems - all around


originally was this nasty teal then I painted it blue....

Looks great. Would also like seeing more pics. What type of engine/firewall clearance did you run into?

We had to customize the firewall to fit the valve covers. Impact hammer and my cousin the body man can do wonders. This is actually the second 72 I have built. I was Dumb and sold the other one. Never do that again.
