New member with truck

[maloryII]

Hey guys. A member here, Tx Firefigther, is a member at my regular board (www.advrider.com) and referred me after I posted a thread about my truck.

I've been lurking for the past week and have found this resource every illuminating.

Anyway, on with the pics! I picked up this 1972 C20 locally. It's a runner, with a 454 mated to a 4 speed SM456. It's running two straight pipes off the long tube headers -- a little two loud for my tastes! It's been an Arizona truck since 1972, so I believe it qualifies as "rust-free."

The paint is OK for a beater, but I imagine I'll have it painted (or try the rustoleum) in the future. Right now it isn't charging the battery, but I believe I've diagnosed the alternator as the problem and will be replacing soon.













Frame looks like this all over. No rust or rot.



The bench and foam is in good shape. My wife is making a seat-cover for it.





Would love to hear your comments!
