Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project
I found your thread from another build. I like what you have done with your truck. I have a 1970 longbed and I plan on doing air ride soon. I already have belltech drop spindles in the front, cnotched the rear, relocated the shocks, drop crossmember, lowering blocks and drop springs so I'm ready for bags. My question to you is your are running 6" wheels in the front with 235/75 do you have issues with rubbing the fender wells? When aired out do the tires touch the wells? I want to run cragar delux 69 wheels 6" in front and 8" in the rear with the same tire sizes you have. Thanks

Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project
So lets go in chronological order.
The last pics were from sometime in the winder of 2013-2014. Jan 2014-Aug 2014. Not a whole lot happened to the truck in this time. I graduated college with an associates degree in automotive technical services. less then a week later i began working at a local repair shop. that gig lasted only two months as i realized that i didn't want to work on cars for a living. Lots of stress and headaches during this time which resulted in not much work on the truck. it was unfortunate but such is life. i guess these are the only two pics worth sharing during this time. ![]() a nice areal shot ![]() and i got first in the bagged full size class at a show i went to.

Finally, a mostly assembled and PAINTED truck! photo shoot time ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project
And then the winder came, and, big surprise! the truck went to storage and nothing was done.
Nov 2014- April 2015 Nothing! ![]() May 2015 After a considerable time of un employment i began working at a local precast concrete compay specializing in burial vaults. Now i had cash-flow to do some stuff. I took it out to the first cruse in of the year! i mostly just drove it and showed it in the spring ![]()

Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project
Sorry for the cliff notes update, i slacked on taking step by step photos of the work and there wasn't a whole lot of stuff done in the last year in a half.Big mile stones, but not a lot. I'm very happy with where it has come so far and i plan to make improvements and continue to work on her till everything is "done"

Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project
Hey Cam, thought you fell of the face of the earth. Glad you were getting things done, and didn't give up on the truck. Truck looks great, nice job. The new shop looks super nice and roomy. Make sure to post up any improvements. Glad to see you post....Jim

lol, yeah, life got busy there for a while but I do want to keep this thread somewhat up to date! Speaking of improvements, id say a lift would fall under that category. ![]() Its not the best pic of the lift itself but it'll do. the garage is starting to fill up with all the toys.

Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project
Also, due to some unfortunate circumstances, my Subaru winter beast won't be seeing any more road time.
![]() Sooo, a replacement is in order. Now its not the snow machine AWD that the Subaru brought to the table but it is a spacious American(ish) sedan and thats just fine by me. Heres my 2008 Pontiac G8. only 50k on the clock which made it irresistible ![]()
