Is this going to be a single wheel or dually 1 ton ?

trucks72 · 02-15-2011, 12:29 PM

A dually 1 ton. I am going to get a alum. flat bed made for it when I get all the front done and it moving on its own.

CTENTA1 · 02-15-2011, 12:33 PM

Nice, this one is turning out really good.

Well for Pete's sake, keep posting progress pictures. I hate when I see an awesome project that gets me all hyped up and the builder just disappears about half way through. Don't be that guy ! We want to see this thing through to completion.

Is that Hugger Orange ?

**FL71C10** · 02-15-2011, 03:36 PM

Looks very nice and clean! Who made the custom fuel tank? I like it.

67chevy1series · 02-15-2011, 09:53 PM

NORMSCOLORADO · 02-15-2011, 11:11 PM

Dinos63 · 02-15-2011, 11:26 PM

wow very nice !!!

trucks72 · 02-16-2011, 08:38 AM

Yes it is Hugger Orange and I will do my best to keep the pictures coming.

Hey Glen I do not think it will be done by Carlisle but you know Jerry he will not drive it anywhere. I told him I was hooking a trailer to it and and loading the other orange and white truck and going to Pigeon Forge.

i will have to look and see who I had make that tank. It turned out really nice.

trucks72 · 02-16-2011, 09:33 AM

History on the truck: 1972 Factory Cheyenne 1 ton short bed, 133 in wheel base dually, 402 motor, 400 turbo trans, tilt, a/c, came out of Texas. The cab I am using is not original to the truck, I used another and put the roof from the old one onto the other cab. I have some pictures of that I will post later. I have a 454 bored 60 over in the truck now with a street and performance ramjet. The trans is a 4L80E with the wiring from TCI. The gas tank was made by Trucks USA I think from South Carolina. A March pulley system is on the front. Also an a/c update kit is going on it. Everything underneath has been blasted and powder coated that could be. Stainless brake lines and alum. fuel lines is what i used for that stuff. We have not decided on wheels yet. When we get the fenders on we want to decide how much to lower it. We think about 2 in, but that is way we are waiting on the fenders. And that will determine the wheels and there size.

67shortie · 02-16-2011, 12:56 PM

WOW is right, very nice truck

Tx Firefighter · 02-18-2011, 10:31 AM

In the last picture, I assume the screw (72 only doors) is just dummied in place since you have 1 piece glass and no wing windows ?
