I know how everyone likes pictures, so here is my '72.

tphsmith · 02-04-2007, 05:25 PM

looks darn nice, how long have you had the truck? what size motor are you running in it?

Piece of Work · 02-04-2007, 05:32 PM

I picked it up 3 days ago. It has a 350 4 Barl. TH350 PS, PB, AC (when I collect all the missing parts). It needs a lot of work, but is drivable as is.

Looks like a good project. Thanks for sharing & welcome to the boards...

**Yukon Jack** · 02-04-2007, 06:34 PM

Welcome to the board - looks like a solid truck.

1969C/10 · 02-04-2007, 06:40 PM

Nice truck..........GO BUCKEYES!

Ram-Man · 02-04-2007, 06:47 PM

Nice truck. Before you know it you'll have a frame in your garage on 4 jack stands like mine wondering why it's going to cost $20,000 to get it back together.

hawaiianblue72 · 02-04-2007, 06:56 PM

Nice Truck! Lots of potential. Take lots of before & after pics to share.

The vice grips are temporary, until the new window regulator arrives. That is my "old school" workmanship!

$20,000.00 would be great, but divorce costs even more, so I'm trying to keep it under $5,000.00 (for now).

Even though I moved to SC, I will always be a Buckeye fan.

This truck has a new transmission, new brakes, new exhaust, and 2 new tires. So far I haven't found any bondo, the usual rust, a semi functioning dash with a messed up wiring harness, and no A/C parts.

bad_turbo · 02-04-2007, 09:53 PM

looks good! I use vice grips on 1 of my trucks too

Longhorn Man · 02-04-2007, 11:12 PM

They do. You just have to watch out for the knock off ones that come from China with rattle can chrome.

At least all of the essentials are done on the truck.. brakes, transmission, exhaust. Body mounts in good shape?

Americanrider · 02-06-2007, 04:13 AM

I hate to be the one to tell ya but that "S" on the front bumper is not the correct chevy badge for a Super model.... or is it?

Welcome to the board from the other end if the USA.
