'72 Chevy SWB, Project Driver

[usmcchevy]

I got this truck on Nov 13th and only now getting around to starting a build thread. The original plan for the truck was to get it running/driving and use it as my DD while I worked on it(using my motorcycle as a backup DD).





First thing was to get it started, Carb kit, file the points and a battery was all it took! Drove it on the trailer and got it home.

After It was home and cleaned out, I found the seat belts in never/hardly used condition still in the plastic wrap under the seat! A bit dirty but still great condition.

I also found a lot more rust.....Cab roof, bed floor, core support, doors you name it, it was bad. More about that later.
Since this is a driving project I needed someplace clean for gas. Blazer tank went in
