Re: The building of "Monroe" 72 4x4 swb
Hey all, I had mentioned in the 5th page about the replacement for my truck from the long time owner. Anyway, it is done and successfully converted to a swb. I thought I would share a picture of it. We static dropped it 4/6 and found a swb frame and bed. It turned out great and my friend is enjoying it. I have a few things to do to the blue one, but they will be invisible, like window regulators and little stuff.

Re: The building of "Monroe" 72 4x4 swb
On the one year annv of getting this truck running, it sprang a radiator leak. 450 bucks for a 4 row Champion. I took it to a local old school shop. 8 or 9 tubes pulled loose from one of the tanks for no apparrant reason. I bought a new one today at Orielly's . It seems fine now, no leaks. This is the only setback I have had with this truck since the build.

Made it to the "Hot Rod Reunion" yesterday.
Great show. I got the C10 Nats and this one in the bag. This old truck keeps chugging along.

Re: The building of "Monroe" 72 4x4 swb
Well it's been over a year since I posted on this thread. I sold "Billy Joe" to a good friend a couple of months back. That leaves me with the blk/wht 72 to get back to work on. Even with a couple of buddies building c10s, I just couldn't get motivated. That was until I went to the c10 SE nationals last weekend. I think I have the motivation again. It is sitting on 2 flats and crappy wheels , so a set of rally wheels and some 32s are going on it. I will start back as time allows and maybe, just maybe, we can get this thing on the road.
