My 72 gmc build

[1972GMCsierra4x4]

So here's the 1972 GMC K-2500 Sierra that I have had as my daily driver for the past two years. It's a numbers matching truck, except for the motor (which I have). It came from the factory with bucket seats and console, auxiliary fuel tank, sliding rear window, and the tach option. I have all the paperwork for it including the bill of sale and protect-o-plate. For a drivetrain it has another 350, SM465 4 speed, 205 transfer case and the DANA 60 rear end with 4.10s or 4:11s

I added the flatbed this summer since the bed floor was rotted out. Here pretty soon I'll be tearing apart the whole truck and redoing the body for my senior project (yeah my school still does that). I'll also be installing a Ranger Overdrive and Flowmasters with headers

That's a cool truck. It's nice your school still does that stuff. I took 3 years of Auto shop in my school and they closed down my senior year. That was also in 2002 so it's been a little while now.

Thanks. I've got the only one like it in the whole county, so everyone in my area knows who I am

Now, that is a farm truck !!!!!!

I know it's been a while, but here's some pictures of my progress

[1972GMCsierra4x4]

New floor pans, inner and outer rockers, cab corners and floor supports

[1972GMCsierra4x4]

Drivers side panel alignment

[1972GMCsierra4x4]

Engine had antifreeze on cylinder 6 due to a cracked head, so I installed new head gaskets and good heads along with a set of free headers

[1972GMCsierra4x4]

Ranger overdrive being installed

[1972GMCsierra4x4]

Cab bottom after two coats of POR15 and and a coat of bed liner. This is as far as I have gotten on the body work

[1972GMCsierra4x4]

After I rebuilt the back panel on the flat bed. This is what you come up with when you want a triple-C bale bed but don't have $8,000 to spend on one

Nice truck ,Im in to see the rest of it .

[1972GMCsierra4x4]

I'll have the cab and driveshafts reinstalled this weekend and hopefully have it in the body shop in a couple weeks. It's going to be nice to have the old girl back after it being out of commission for five months

Sweet! I want to see how this turns out!

[1972GMCsierra4x4]

After I got my reciever tube and D-rings welded on

[1972GMCsierra4x4]

Different angle

[1972GMCsierra4x4]

And for all those of you who might say "That top weld on the receiver looks like hammered dog s&$@!," no it doesn't. Here's a better view of the stack

[1972GMCsierra4x4]

Reinstalled the cab last night

[1972GMCsierra4x4]

Shifter setup for the ranger and the main gearbox

It looks like you are making really good progress! When you are done could I get a ballpark on how much this whole thing cost to finish?

I'll have about $7,000 in the truck by the time I'm done. But that's with an all new undercarriage and a rebuilt rear end too
