Re: 1972 C10 Cheyenne LWB

So i changed my plans for the truck. This truck was my dads first vehicle which he bought from the local dealership. I have decided to complete this truck and give it back to my dad as a surprise. As many of you i had a far from perfect upbringing. Although we had our problems my dad always made sure he never missed a day at his 2nd shift factory job so his kids could live a better life than he did. These old trucks hold so many memories for me and most of us. I know its just a ****ing truck. But these vehicles can bring people together.

What a nice color combo! I rarely see yellow and white...are you planning to return the exterior to stock?

The goal is to get it as close to stock as possible. So yes the yellow and white is staying. I like the green and white in your avatar. I don't think I've seen one with that color and two tone combination.

It's great that you & your dad can do a major project like this together. It's also great that you choose to focus on the things he did right instead of wrong. Hope it goes well!

Re: 1972 C10 Cheyenne LWB

My dad is the one removing the cab lights. It was funny to watch him jump up on the truck and go at it. He has never really been too interested in automotive work so it was a good time. The guy in the black shirt with the back window who is my brother in-law. He really like working on the truck so it has become a family affair haha.
