My 1st 72 was a SWB step side this same color but all green, with the spare tire cut out in the fender. That one got me hooked on these trucks. I really like the two tone green and white, I think the two colors compliment each other. It just looks sharp.

He's been doing this for better than 30 yrs and has it down pretty damn good !

Like i said, i'm not a body man!

I'm not either that's why he's doing it "LOL" I asked him about that yesterday and he said if he didn't have the ability to bake it that would be the case.

sduckworth13 · 10-10-2013, 06:37 PM

Super nice Gary, looks great.

Last_Paladin · 10-10-2013, 09:26 PM

Really nice man.

**fakerwade** · 10-10-2013, 10:12 PM

Hey Gary, nice looking build!! But your going way too fast, slow down, your making the rest of us look bad!!

As a fellow builder going through a divorce I can seriously see what great therapy working on your truck would be. Keep up the good work (just slow it down a little)

**CUSTOM/10** · 10-11-2013, 04:53 AM

Thanks "Last" !!! I need to get over and see your truck !

Wade - It's not me that's so fast it's my body guy wanting to get this done and out of his shop....... He's afraid someones going to damage it "LOL"

sdailey · 10-11-2013, 08:55 AM

Just plain awesome.

**CUSTOM/10** · 10-11-2013, 09:35 AM

Thanks Shannon !

So how's Patches ? Any recent progress ?

Gary

Last_Paladin · 10-11-2013, 09:54 AM

Will he paint mine?

sdailey · 10-11-2013, 09:54 AM

Nothing to write about, still stock piling parts when I can. Our company is in the middle of relocating to a bigger facility and as operations mgr guess who is carrying the load.

Also, my wife and I are expecting our second child, a little boy, in February. Needless to say Patches has been put on the back burner for a little while. I've been catching up on builds on here trying to get motivated again.

**CUSTOM/10** · 10-11-2013, 10:54 AM

Well don't ignor your 1st child, ( Patches ) "LOL"

Congrats on the up-coming child !

**CUSTOM/10** · 10-11-2013, 11:06 AM

Last - I kinda doubt it, he rarly does projects like these, he's doing mine because he's my neighbor and I've been talking to him for several yrs about doing it. He also has a 32 sedan of his own that is sitting in the shop that's next.

**jaros44sr** · 10-11-2013, 12:48 PM

Very nice progress, perfect choice of colors.....my fav.

Off topic....congrats Shannon

Low Elco · 10-11-2013, 01:02 PM

Maaaaaaan, that's nice! Are you gonna use the lift and drop the whole shootin' match on the chassis? Great truck!

**CUSTOM/10** · 10-11-2013, 01:43 PM

Low;

That's the plan but it's coming home for a while ( Possible Monday ) I have more work to do on the chassis before mating the two ! I'm swapping engines, dropping a 383 in place of the 350, and still have all the plumbing to do. Once everything is ready ( or at least close ) it will go back to his shop so he can make sure everything lines up propperly ! He's done several this way, and it's how it's done in the factory !

**CUSTOM/10** · 10-11-2013, 01:49 PM

Thanks again everyone for the positive feedback !!! My first 72 was the same green, but no white and it was a step side. I liked it, but the two tone and the trim really make this thing POP..... I love it !!!

**CUSTOM/10** · 10-14-2013, 04:16 PM

Found this parked in my driveway when I got home ! Now he's going to get started on the bed. And it's time for me to get busy !

sdailey · 10-14-2013, 04:23 PM

You suck........

**CUSTOM/10** · 10-14-2013, 06:14 PM

LOL. Jealous .....

Thanks Jim. We're very excited.

**CUSTOM/10** · 10-15-2013, 01:00 PM

There has been about 5 years that I was watching your build and may others, while mine sat idle ! So I know the feeling very well. Sometimes other things take priority, babies, bills, life..... But sooner or later the time comes around and the project is back in front.

Everyone else’s builds inspired me, so I just kept collecting the parts and biding my time !

So thanks to everyone for the inspiration!
