body rot on the 72 four door.

just a cool little bit of information on the truck the truck was the tour "bus" for suicidal tendancies in 1982... the truck is located in venice beach... i saw about 5 photo albums.....

anyway... the rot issues:

roof panel is shot
roof panel support
outer rockers have 2 holes each
4 doors are shot
lower cowl / firwall slight rot
bed is trash
floorboards are shot
door frame rotted out, near roof

the good:
running 366 bigblock
frame is solid
hood/ fenders seem ok....lol

does anyone have a link to a thread wich shows alot of repaneling of a 72?

Re: body rot on the 72 four door.

I am interested in the high top VW van in front of the truck. They are great for camping. Hassle me if you must but it just is in my blood.
