first project.. codename patches

[Dino11]

after admiring these trucks for several years i decided to get one. and what i ended up with was a 72 lwb.

has a fresh rebuilt 350 4bolt main. fresh built 350turbo . i got what i thought was a pretty solid truck. but that kinda changed after i got into her.

this was someone elses old project that i ended up with. i paid 1900 for the truck and drove it home.

it had been lowered nicely, with drop springs in the rear and control arms up front. all of the front suspension is new and in good tight shape.

it was missing the grille assembly, front bumper etc as you can see.

it has a great condition bed. which i have shaved the trim holes, bed post holes, and marker lights (that i somewhat regret). i had the rear pan welded in and i am still working on it.

good condition tailgate.

cab has usual rust issues, nothing too bad, but plenty of work for me.
missing pass. inner fender and has the fender cup completely rotted away.

these are a couple pics i took the day i drove it home.

lol when i went to look at the truck, the guy that had it was covering up the surface rust with flat black paint. so thats the reason for that.
