Re: My build so far
Hey Greg I see your making great progress at that rate you will be finished before me. But I'm still making progress on mine.
I guess I will be posting me a build page too since I see some may of you guys around me showing your builds here. |

Re: My build so far
Thanks, but the body slows down the process. With limited know how and none of the body tools I have to rely on someone else for that. Good to see you on the forum. And yes pictures are a must on here. Check out Alan's Classics build thread, the best one that I have seen. Did you get the roof section on yet?

Re: My build so far
We lived in Florence Al. It is in the northwest corner of the state. From my old house it was about ten miles to Tenn. and about thirty miles to Miss.

Re: My build so far
Made some progress on the cab, got all the patch panel installed. The only thing left is the floor pans. A few more welds and the dash will be in place. I'll try to post better pictures later.

Re: My build so far
I noticed you welded in your rockers and cab corners without fitting them to your doors. I hope your doors fit. After fitting my new rockers, I had to start over when I fitted my doors. Even though it seems like the new rockers fit like a glove, I had to drop both sides down about 3/8" to fit the doors correctly. Looks good though, hope it fits.

Re: My build so far
I want it painted one of the factory colors. The choices are dark blue, light green, or turquoise. Which ever color I decide it will be tu toned with the white cab. I'm leaning toward the light green.

Re: My build so far
Today I had a some free time so me, my son Evan, and my brother-in-law rode up to Alan's house. It is amazing how much time and effort has went into his truck. The pictures does not do the it justice. While there I picked a set of side cowl panels. I also got to meet Shannon (sdailey) and got a pair of door panels for Evan '68 swb project. It was good talking both of you and hope we didn't take up too much of your Saturday.

Re: My build so far
Looking good Greg. I wish I could hurry up and get my patch panels replaced. My drip rail is going to cause us some problems, it's not any good metal to weld to when you cut out the old rusted out one. Your truck is coming along pretty good. Later.

Re: My build so far
Thanks Jeff, just waiting to get my cab back home some I can put it on the frame and see how it looks. It has been a long time since it's been that complete. Is your other cab in better shape? I know it is a lot of work to change cabs out but if it's less body work it would be worth it.

Re: My build so far
Well Greg, I already gave the other cab to my cousin and he has it already at his house. Yeah the '68 cab is a better cab. But I wanted a true '72 so I kept the '72 for me.

Re: My build so far
Now it's comming back to me. I forgot about your cousin getting the long wheel base truck. Please over look my previous statements. Old age is getting to me. We come up last weekend and spent the whole time with Dad and watching football. Next time I will do my best to give you a call and ride out and see your progress.

Re: My build so far
The truck is still in dad's garage, we haven't worked on it for about 2 weeks now. He was sick, then he got well, then he had a siding job, now I been sick this week. Maybe we can get out there this weekend some.

Re: My build so far
I picked up a 4.8 engine for my son's '68 project today. even if we decide to go a different route I couldn't pass up a LS engine for $75.00. Right now his truck is sitting on a '72 swb frame, thanks to Jeff(trucknut). I took the cab off of a lwb 68 truck and got the front end from Jeff. The bed will have to wait until later.

Re: My build so far
No doubt....can't go wrong for that price. What all parts are interchangeable with the 5.3 or 6.0?
