Re: 72 chevy first truck
Nice truck I've not really been into the short beds do to my work in the hauling business and scrap metal business.Long beds rock.I grew up with these trucks.Never likes this body style until 15 years ago.I drove 3 ton BOBTAILS i had 3 of them 1960--66 short nose with a 4 speed and split rear end.Had over 9 1964--66 chevy 3/4 tons and 11 years ago bought a 1964 short bed fleet side and it sits on the side of the house in needing of restoring.Now i own almost every year of the 1967--72 chevy trucks suburbans.But i'm still major long bed fan

Re: 72 chevy first truck
I am interested in the rear marker light filler mod but my 72 swb stepside truck but it has already been painted and I dont want to mess that up. I may have to put the filler throught the bed floor. Any ideas?

My dad took a door off of a car in the junk yard I'm not sure what kind but the door matches the one on our 2004 gmc Siarra and he cut it to where it was the same size as the marker and were not fully done with it but when it's done I'll post pictures we had to cut a hole on the inside and the flanges for screwing on the light and at the moment there as some damages to the paint from tack welding on the mount I think I can get rid of them but I'm sure if your carefull you could do it with out messing up the paint on the out side of the bed but we also had to move the tank under the bed and we got the one that is posted in the pictures and with the leafs it's really difficult! As you can see we notched the frame to get the tank inside the rails best of luck to you!

Well actually after welding some more there are some weld marks that may not come off. This is no problem for me because I'm not doing paint for a while but that may be bad if you have fresh paint. Only thing I can think of is taking your time
