Finally Done.......for now!ha
I have finally finished my 1972 Chevy Custom Deluxe C10 with a numbers matching 350 and 4 on the floor. The truck is an original hugger orange and is from a farm in ND. I bought her from the original owners estate and have been working roughly the past 9 months to restore it to original condition plus some enhancements. I upgraded the seat from black vinyl to the houndstooth orange/black as well as adding black carpeting. Let me know what you think........went for the original stock look with this one. I think some decent rims and tires down the road would finish it off well.

Re: Finally Done.......for now!ha
Yeah I need to do something with the wheels and tires.........right now it has stock rims with hub caps from a 1973 C10. I just cant seem to find the right tire and rim combo that turns my crank.

Wow the truck is beautiful. Good to see another minnesota guy (not too far away either) with a 67-72 truck.

Re: Finally Done.......for now!ha
WOW!! That came out great. If it looked like that when brand new, I bet the original owner loved waking up every morning and heading outside to work in a beauty like that all day long!
Do you have any more pictures? I would love to see more. Keith |

Re: Finally Done.......for now!ha
Looks great! I wouldn't change the wheels/tires. Just paint the bowtie blue on those dog dishes and you are good to go.
