It’s to beat the white. I called myself trying to go a different route this time, but I always go back to white. I am going with chrome caps this - I think! 😀

I got my rear rims back from sandblasting. I’ll try to get them sanded and painted today.

**uncle** · 04-23-2019, 11:59 AM

I think you need to paint them RED.

**michael bustamante** · 04-23-2019, 01:45 PM

I’ll let you know. My brother may be getting the rims and caps for a project truck of his.

Rims painted. Time for tires!

Nice......I like 'em

67_C-30 · 04-25-2019, 07:37 PM

I’m gonna to drop it a little more, but I’m liking the look of it!

**uncle** · 04-26-2019, 06:53 AM

I see the wider track now.

The spacers worked out great and I love the look of it, I just want it a little lower. It has the old school kinda hotrod stance I was looking for. I took a direct front shot today but the lighting isn’t the greatest. You can kinda see how spaced out the front wheels are.

It is actually very easy to steer without power steering with them

She got a “new” front bumper today and I’m using a ‘72 specific “Building a Better Way to See the USA” dealer tag.

**Ol Blue K20** · 04-27-2019, 07:51 PM

Looks good, I really like the plate!

Keep up the great work, liking everything you're doing

Hey, women get Earring holes in their head all the time. Just sayin.

CG · 04-28-2019, 02:27 PM

Can you post a larger pic of the front plate? Don't think Ive seen one of those before. I like everything you have done to your truck so far. Neat little ride.

We are on heavy OT at work, so since I had work on Father’s Day, at least I could ride in style! She made the 80 mile round trip with ease. It’s the longest venture I’ve done in it so far, but I’m confident I could drive it anywhere. It’s just a great running old truck!

74cam · 06-17-2019, 01:11 PM

Great looking truck! Love the driver look with the steelies and the '72 front plate. I also like the height as is! Not too low but low enough to have a nice stance.

Ekliptix · 06-17-2019, 01:30 PM

Truck looks great.

67_C-30 · 04-23-2020, 06:25 AM

Over the winter I had a friend that lost that lost his job and I let him do some metal work for me. I had already done the driver’s rocker, but cut and fixed all the rust in the lower belt line of the truck. It now has both new rockers, cab corners, the bottom of the doors replaced, and new passenger side fender cup. When he had the bed off, we also did a bolt in c-notch to be able to drop it lower.
To cover up all the repairs, we painted the bottom with the same semi gloss white that I used on the rims and bumpers, and used a nice set of used lower moldings.

The truck is much better for all the repairs now, and I’m digging the white rockers against the white bumpers. I like the blue roof for this look, but I need to do a repair above the windshield, so I’ll probably end doing the top white too.

Happy_dan · 04-23-2020, 08:08 AM

Looks great
