How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks

[Gadoozle]

That's cool, I'm pretty much in the same situation. My truck is very mechanically sound, but has many external issues that need to be fixed. Will it be a father son project?

[RodriguezNightMare]

Well my dad is only gonna help me on the needed parts the truck needs such as the speedometer, i dont wanna get him to waste his money on me, i wanna pay for my own parts and things you know? I think hes gonna help me out until i find a job.

[Gadoozle]

Okay, that's what I'm doing too. What I meant was is your dad helping you with knowledge and skills? My truck is a learning experience for both my dad and me. We don't have much experience in working on cars or trucks.

Are you going to keep it stock, or make it custom?

[RodriguezNightMare]

Yeah my dad is helping me with knowledge and skills, he owns 4 other classic cars/trucks, so he has experience. My plans are to make it custom, a truck that can be my daily driver and also be able to take to the drag strips once in a while.

[Gadoozle]

I feel mostly the same way. I want to make the exterior look nice, lower it a bit, but mostly keep it stock. However [insert insane laugh here] I want it to perform like a beast.

[RodriguezNightMare]

Exactly, Drop it a couple of inches, are you gonna put a sound system in your truck? im wondering of where to put speakers other than on the doors, because the gas tank is behind the bench seat.

[Gadoozle]

I want to put a sound system in, with a stock-like fit. You can buy a cool headliner that has speakers built into it. Also, you can put them under the seat, maybe in the glove box? How much are you going to lower it? Do you have a ratio?

[RodriguezNightMare]

Yeah i seen the headliner, but i heard the speakers on it arent so good. Yeah under the seat might be a good spot, i dont have a ratio yet, i want it to look good but not dropped enough to grind on the floor or bumps.

[Gadoozle]

I find that four inches in the front and six inches in the back looks about right.

Maybe if you move the gas tank behind the rear axle, you could put speakers behind the seat. It would definitely remove the terrible gas smell in the cab.

[RodriguezNightMare]

Yea that drop looks very nice, my truck already has 2 gas tanks in the rear axles but i dont think they work anymore.

[Gadoozle]

So you're truck has three gas tanks? Are you planning to do a frame off restoration? If so, I'd tank the other two tanks off of the frame. The whole point of having more than one gas tank was to extend the amount of time that could be traveled without filling up. If this truck won't be a work truck, then three gas tanks is impractical.

Is your 350 small block or big block?

What options did you truck come with?

[RodriguezNightMare]

Its a small block, yea i might remove them.

[Gadoozle]

What trucks/cars does you dad have?

[RodriguezNightMare]

He has a 1972 F100 Custom, 2 1977 Grand Prix, and an Old School VW i cant remember what year it is.

[Gadoozle]

Cool combo. The next car I do will be a 1934ish Chevy Standard 2 Door Coach. I really like the old '30s Chevys.

[RodriguezNightMare]

Nice, i see a couple of those around my neighborhood ! Ill keep in touch with you man !
