I took the 72 for it's maiden drive tonight.
Started the restoration this spring and only have exhaust left to put on. After drive found it needs right front brake work to do as it really pulls bad to drivers side.She sat behind a guys barn for at least 3-4 years and I'm sure that didn't help it. Would also like a chrome rear bumper yet.oh and maybe chrome mud flaps. oh and maybe floor mats oh and maybe----LOL . You know how it is!

wxman1 · 08-18-2002, 01:37 AM

Looks like all your hard work has paid off...nice ride.
BTW...where did you get the seats?
Were they hard to adapt to the old mounting holes?

Solver · 08-18-2002, 01:50 AM

The seats are out of a 90's nova 4 door
I was able to use the outside bolt holes with the brackets I had bent. the inside 2 had to be drilled as it was a bench seat before.

Longhorn my camera always does that what program are using to adjust that pink out? or is it just a filter?

Hooter · 08-18-2002, 02:44 AM

looks like you are going to have to bake those letters off the treads now

chevyman 68 C/10 · 08-18-2002, 08:28 AM

That is awsome , simply awsome

toms68cst · 08-18-2002, 08:48 AM

That truck looks very sweet.

I don't usually care much for non-stock seats in these trucks but those seats really look nice with the white vinyl and period console. Nice touch.

justin · 08-18-2002, 10:05 AM

nice job
that is one bad truck!

Wootdog · 08-18-2002, 10:20 AM

I like it. Wootdog

Longhorn Man · 08-18-2002, 10:21 AM

I have to agree with toms68, I also don't normally care for nn stock seats...but those ones work in there.
I use ADCSee v3.0. I don't really know hor to do too much with it, but I hear it is a real good program.

minibike · 08-18-2002, 10:24 AM

That gives me some inspiration when I look at my rolling chassis! Truck is beautiful.
