Ellie Lou the 72

[fecklessgadfly]

This build may take a while, and there might be weeks between posts, but I wanted to document it. At least for myself, so ya'll get to see it, too.

This truck has been in my life since birth. It's my grandfather's, and he parked it in the 80s when the transmission went out. I've finally convinced him to pass it on. So, once we get our car hauler ready, it will be making the one hour haul to my place (or at least the shop where my father teaches).

The name comes from my Grandparents. Their middle names were Eldon and Louise.

She's a 1972 Cheyenne with auto, air, and a 350.

The plans, at the moment, are:

-Get her running solid (runs with gas poured in the carb)
-Fix the transmission
-Clean her up
-Repair rockers and other rust spots.
-Drive her.

So, here's Ellie Lou, as she sits.
