His "future plans" are for vintage air so he can run his lines out the center or the side of the fire wall for a clean look.

I have got to say the back of your truck has the absolute perfect stance and tire combo! It reminds me of a pic I saw years and years ago of the "circus wagon" in a mag and it was drop dead right on. I have to say though their is somthing about the front tire size or stance or maybe just the angle of the pic that seems off. I am sure it is just the pic but ether way keep it up you are on a great track for one heck of a nice truck.

Well I got a little done on the truck this past week ,so I thought I'd post an update. The bed and cab are now aligned propperly (the cab was sagging) .I also jetted the carburetor up a little so now it runs a little better. The blue GMC tailgate is almost done being worked , and I lowered the seat 1.5 " I'm going out of state tomorrow to visit a buddy , he has a 72SWB thats pretty nice ,I'll post a pic of his truck when I get back. In the mean time heres 2 more pics.

Badass Truck Bro

Great truck!

[Painter D]

Well I got back from out of state. I got some interior AC parts while I was gone (for free)! I also have a few pics of my buddies truck as promised. My tailgate is done being bodyworked, I'll post pics of it as soon as I get to it. I'm going to be giving FuelCellguy a call and some money (hopefully) in the next few weeks sometime.

[72BlckButy]

Wow... your buddy's truck is sweet! Any info on his truck since it's for sale? Price?

Anytime you can come home from being out of town with free parts is a great trip!

Can't wait to see the reworked tailgate.

His truck is a 72 w/68 clip. It's got a 402 BBC with a 700r4 , new paint obviously, and the same exact wheels as mine ,18/20 coys. I think he wants10.5 k for it. It still needs alot of detail work done to it .

[72BlckButy]

Wow... for $10.5K is appears to be pretty straight. Hopefully it will go to someone that will finish it right.

I thought maybe you delivered some slightly used wheels that cleaned up well to him . . .... .

The other color chips in the pic above are colors I was also considering , but I saw a chrysler going down the road the other day that was Surf Blue and really liked it.

How do those headlights work for you? I drive mine with the highbeams on and still can't see crap (of course my last car had HIDs to I am a bit spoiled). BTW, what kind of lights are they?

[Painter D]

Yeah mine aren't the brightest , but they look cool. I got them from LMC. I'm not sure of the actual brand name of them , but they take a halogen bulb and relays to make them work. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. I agree they do look good, but want something that I can actually drive with my truck isn't about looks (obviously if you have seen it) but more function.

Hi, is your buddies truck on (air ride) to you have his number I'm interested

Thanks

[Painter D]

No it's not on air ride , and I can't post his number here, Sorry.

[Coda O'Dell]

Very interested in the truck. What state is it located at. I can just sell the one I have and just buy this one if its close enough. Im in Oklahoma but I can travel if needed

[Painter D]

Well I got a few , and did a few things to the truck in the past 2 weeks so here goes. I got a new ignition switch installed, and received my fender patch panel. I took the glove box door off and painted it for some motivation to get the truck painted, so far it's not working. The mirror holes are now welded up ,and so are the rust holes that were under the cowl /windshield area. That's why the windshield seal is torn up. I wold have pics of the tailgate but I keep forgetting to take the camera to work, but it is done being worked. I would be further along on getting it painted but it's really hard to work on getting it painted , when you do it all day at work. Not to mention it's really hot here, and I've been having valve train problems with it ,so I've been fixing that instead of doing other stuff. Heres some more pics , enjoy.

[72BlckButy]

Great progress! I can't wait to see the whole truck painted that color.

[Coda O'Dell]

Hey man your truck is amazing and your work is great. But do you think you can answer my question about where your friend truck is located.

[randomhero472]

looking really good... post how hard that fender patch is to do, looks like i'll be doing the same thing!

[Painter D]

Finally got around to the tailgate, thought I'd post some pics. I took some before and after primer pics.
