'72 LWB not a new build..but not done either...

[gargenherder]

Thought I'd post my build. I've been working on this for more than a year, but not posted anything. I'm posting the most recent activity to date and if anyone is interested I can post more. I just painted it with the help of my buddy over at Zeke's Garage. I did most of the prep work and Shawn did the paint. I was looking to get the truck one color and look nicer quickly. I need to save up for new NON rusty and mangled body panels. I'm not sure how I'll proceed with the cab yet. As such there are dents and irregularities due to doing this in a somewhat half-@ssed manner. Any faults are mine, Shawn did an amazing job with the paint.

Here is the Pre-paint with most of the limited prep-work done.





Here is a shot from just after taping everything off:




This is the "finished" product...it was getting late and so we were hurrying a bit. The truck is not legal to drive. I still have to get exhaust and then re-register it, hence the trailer:




Another shot:



Again, please excuse the obvious rust and other issues...I was looking to get a decent cheap coat of paint on it. The body work is going to be another project. I just cleaned what I had as well as I could without investing a huge amount of time or money in the bodywork.
