Well, I have told a bunch of people about this truck so heres the project thread!

My brother, Trevors truck, picked it up for $700 and it had a lot of rear axle clunk when it rolled onto the trailer. It came with the bed, but we recently took it off. It came with the extra door and tailgate.

1972 Chevy C10 2WD 350 3-Speed Auto with 12 bolt rear

This truck is more rare than you may think. Halfway through 70', GM changed to 5-lug and halfway through 72' GM changed the rear coil-overs. We dont have any production numbers but we know they are very rare. We just so happen to have a 3/4 ton with 5-lug coil-overs.

Things that need to be fixed: Getting better bed due to rust holes. Needs new cab corners. Needs new interior. Needs paint. Needs the common things you see all the time.

Plans: Make it back to almost all stock truck. My brother wants stock orange peel paint on top blending into blue on the bottom. Different rims and a drop it the rear to make it sit level. Paint or powdercoat everything underneath. Redo all interior. Will update all the time.

The rear end is being rebuilt and there are no pics of the rear yet. We left the diff cover here, we are getting a chrome cover instead.

Other tailgate and drivers door. And the driveshaft is out.
