Pics of New Truck
Here are a couple of photos of my new project. It is a 72 C10 LWB that I got for $1,700. It's got a 350/350 combo in it and the only rust I have found is a little bit under the right front cab.
Right now I am planning on doing a mild drop (2.5/4) while in the process of doing a frame off restoration. Any ideas on other improvements or final color/colors?

Wow! Those mountains in the background look great. I don't like the cold winters (and long) you guys have there, but the land is pretty.
As for the truck...that is clean and a great buy. Sounds like I would fix that little spot of rust asap! Blue with 18" sounds good. Acura has a killer dark blue on their cars.

Thanks for the great comments. I do like the blue color, but there are so many colors that look good on these trucks it is hard to decide.

That's true. I see a lot of them being driven around town. Most of them are still in original condition but very "weathered". Every once in a while you see one that has been restored.
Sounds like a good find at the junk yard. I went there a few months ago and they had 5 67-72's but they were already stripped pretty clean. Most of what was left was just damaged body parts.
