Nice work on the project Joshua, this will make one beautiful project when complete.

**DANTIP** · 04-19-2010, 09:20 AM

Awesome Results!!

The finished product is unbelievable! Very deserving of the "hardware".

dfwright · 02-02-2010, 01:51 PM

Where did you get the rubber bushings for the suspension parts?

1LoC10 · 03-06-2010, 10:15 PM

awesome job so far

**JQ-72** · 03-12-2010, 08:34 PM

Here's some more progress. I've been working on it quite a bit. My goal is to have it finished by mid April for the Holly Springs, MS show! Wish me luck!!!

Joshua

**JQ-72** · 03-12-2010, 08:36 PM

suspension - NOS Pleasurizer shocks.

**71blksuper4x4** · 03-13-2010, 12:40 AM

Looks great Josh. Another one to be proud of. Trevor

**burb71** · 03-13-2010, 04:49 AM

I love it, Keep it Stock
I had the same idea about the NOS Delco Pleasurizer shocks, then I thought that the age of them would make them lay flat, no life left.
But I guess not, looks like you are rideing high.
Dont forget about the factory markings on the fire wall.

truknut · 04-15-2010, 09:49 PM

Any update pics Josh? I drove by this past Saturday to see if you were home, but you weren't in the garage.

beebster · 04-16-2010, 03:46 AM

nice build josh.
I love it when a plan comes together!
how do i join that "factory stock club"? Or am i already a member by leaving my 71 completely stock? ha ha.

**JQ-72** · 04-18-2010, 10:57 PM

Well, no more progress pictures - I'll just jump to the finished product! We've been planning since winter on going to the 1st annual Super GM show in Holly Springs, MS that happened this weekend. I was doing pretty good on time but then got put on a different shift at work that killed a lot of daylight hours that I've been used to. I've been squeezing in every minute I can find to finish this project up. I just got her cranked up for the first time 2 days before we left for the show. Also stayed up until midnight the day before we left putting on the finishing touches. Special thanks to my wife for living like a single parent these past few weeks and not griping too much!!! We got back tonight from the show and had a great time. Here's a few pictures...

Joshua

**JQ-72** · 04-18-2010, 10:59 PM

At the show - me and the boys with some "hardware"!!

Zoomin · 04-18-2010, 11:04 PM

Congratulations!!!

It looks terrific, and feel free to throw up some pics of the interim process now that you have all kinds of free time on your hands.

**tkeduk8r** · 04-18-2010, 11:18 PM

Congrats, Josh. The truck looks good. You must been working none stop on the truck to get it finished in little over a month, since last time I seen it..

**71blksuper4x4** · 04-19-2010, 02:31 AM

That turned out beautiful Josh. Congrats! Trevor

To the top for an awesome truck. Just a stunning restoration. Are you still driving it Josh? Do you have any recent pictures?

**JQ-72** · 12-11-2014, 01:08 AM

Thanks, Mike. I actually sold the truck back in 2012 to a gentleman in Canada and have not heard from it since.

Bummer you sold it but hey I guess everything has a price. I'm sure it went to a good home. Trucks like this in Canada are very rare I bet.
