New Guy
Hello all. I've owned my '72 custom camper for about two years now. It's a daily driver that i have driven cross country in, from San Diego to Tennessee and then to central Florida. Yeah it's been a good one. I haven't done allot to it yet, but have several plans for it. to include getting rid of the rust (bed, rocker panels, door sills), lowering leafs in the back and spindle drop up front. I just purchased a set of OEM 2006 2500 wheels for it and am trying to figure out what to do with the rear center caps since they don't fit over the axle tubs that stick out. I also just got it back from the shop where they installed a set of 4:10 gears and a posi locker. Next i think will be a 700r4 swap, but not sure yet. I plan on this being "The Year Of The Truck" but its going to have to be weekend work since I drive to work everyday. I guess thats all for now.
