Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Thanks Dean !
Lately I've taken some time off from the truck to get caught back up on other chores & projects that have been neglected while I was spending so much time on the truck, but I'll be back at it soon. Gary

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
No updates at this time.... It's been sooo damn hot & humid, and being an HVAC guy, I've been busy to say the least, so truck time has been hard to come by. Soon though, the heat wave finally broke today !!!! Might even get a little time on her after work !

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Well, I do appreciate that, but I am likely to be driving around my truck with no bed on it. My painter is MIA the last couple weeks. Just started wiring and if it's anything like plumbing, I have a long road ahead.
Chris

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Hey Chris;
Well from looking through your pics you did most of your main runs for the plumbing before putting the cab on, that's what I did. That will save some headaches ! As far as the plumbing goes I'm in about the same place as you. Haven't even started the wiring yet. Just finished up with one of my yard projects, so hopefully I'm get in some truck time soon. Gary

Looks like it should have plenty of cooling for that 383.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Love this truck! Mine was that green originally too. This fleet side with the two tone in this color has got to be one of the best combos going! Just classic! Absolutely Awesome!

Not too bad of a drive. Sandown is about 10 mi north of Haverhill Ma.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
The truck in your avatar ?
I've owned a 72 swb 4x4 stepper and a 70 swb 4x4 stepper ! This one is my first fleet side. The 2 steppers were basically stock, this one is more of a resto-mod. Gary

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Yes. I have had this since I was 15, 40 now. 1st and only chevy. This a basic step, nothing fancy. I just did the motor, tranny, brakes, tank, fuel lines, all electric front to back, and a boat load of odds and ends. This is in decent shape. I painted it, etc.. Great bed, wood floor, etc. Needs floor work next and some popping out. Painted it 18 years ago. Still cannot take it anywhere with out a someone coming over to it. I like the steppers, but would not mind a two tone fleet someday!

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Nice... I have owned one of these trucks since 84, so for the last 30 yrs.( I'm 53 yrs old ) The original one is in my back yard, now it's just a rusted old heap from plowing with it. I redid it a couple of times, but it's too far gone now. The one I'm doing now will be my toy, never to see the snow unless I open the garage door. "LOL"
Love the swb 4x4 steppers, had 3 of them, decided to go fleet side for a change !

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Truck is looking great. I love the look of those tires & wheels, just wondering about the tire size. I looked around a bit & couldn't find much for the 275/75/17 size. Are these tires actually 275/75/17 or are they 275/70/17 or some other size.
