1972 C20 dropped 8lugger build

thought I'd post some of my pics of my perpetual project.
I wish I had pictures of the truck before I started messing with it as a 14 year old. oh well... here's some progress stuff. I painted the truck almost 8 years ago now, I didn't do a great job and now I'm in the process of redoing the whole paint job (among other issues that came up along the way)

all of the above pics are maybe slightly out of order but, I was also sporadic on which phase I moved from. I was all over the place for a while. I kind of started all over after I did the c notch on the frame, that's when I pulled the cab off, shaved the heater core and cleaned up and painted the frame. I am now in the process of installing my 396. I am leaving the sm465 in it...for now

I did have a tough time deciding rims cuz I do like the 8 lug but not a ton of options out there so I decided to go with wheel vintiques steelies. 16x8 in the front, 16x10 for the back. I have yet to obtain rubber.
