***Dream Truck Build*** 72 swb fleet with a cummins and one tons

[rgreathouse]

Hello everyone,

I have been lurking around here for years and I am finally ready to start my own build thread!

The truck I am building started out life as a 1972 2wd long bed 1/2 ton inline six 4spd with 90k miles that I bought from the original owner. The truck has some sentimental value to me since it was originally purchased at our local chevy dealer.

7 years ago when I bought the truck my dream truck was a 72 swb cheyenne super, and me being a huge cummins fan I naturally wanted it to be powered by a cummins.

So after everyone telling me not to build my 72 lwb 2wd into my dream truck I am doing it and couldnt be more excited

Here are the plans SWB fleetside, one ton axles, 12v cummins, nv4500, 29 spline np205 ( suspension height still undecided) after everything mocked up I want to get it on the road and drive it for a while then tear it all apart and powder coat the chassis and finish paint, body interior etc.
