A rare progress report 72 4x4
A lot of folks are great around here chronicling their build ups and projects and I love gawking at pictures of em. I thought I'd throw a few out there of mine.
I have a good driver quality truck with a fairly low mileage engine that just wasn't looking as good as I liked. It was nicely equiped from the factory, eg Cheyenne package, power steering and brakes, air etc. So I wanted to tear it down but I have very little space to work in, and a homeowners association thats always breathing down my neck (told me once I couldn't work on my truck in the garage). Anywho... I just tackled a piece at a time on the sly. Here's a before and after of original way the engine looked after I pulled a few accessories off. ![]() ![]() Heres a shot of the gutted interior( I couldn't resist adding an AM/FM and tilt) ![]() ![]() Before I had it repainted the original color I had to have filled literally over a hundred drilled holes. This was due to add ons like fender flares, a camper boot, holes in the bed for a 5th wheel (yes on a short bed 1/2 ton ![]() I still have a lot of detailing to do but here's a shot of the home run stretch. ![]() ![]()

Re: A rare progress report 72 4x4
That is a gorgeous truck! Tell your HOA to shove it! (I know you can't really do that...but don't they make you want to go postal sometimes?)

Re: A rare progress report 72 4x4
Nice work and a great looking truck. They don't even let me look at houses in neighborhoods that have homeowners associations.

Re: A rare progress report 72 4x4
Both times I bought a house if their was a home owners association I would not even look at a house in that area. Sometimes I think they have stock in Jiffy lube franchises. On another note, love that color. You have a real nice truck there. And no rust....I wish we didn't get rust here. Choose your location choose your rust fate...

Re: A rare progress report 72 4x4
oh I know.. it turns into a rivalry when one guy starts, the other has to start on his too since he feels lazy by not working on his toys...
