Look what I found in my Garage Today! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My basement is now finished, and I pulled this out of hiding today. Sorry the pic's aren't that great and my garage is a mess but hey. Feels good to get back to work on my old 72.

Its a 72 Shortbed Big Block 402. All the chassis is complete now. I guess I will start from the back and work forward. Lots of hours in front of me.

super72bb · 05-19-2009, 02:11 AM

A few more pics

super72bb · 05-19-2009, 02:18 AM

I used my Eastwood zinc plating kit for the first time today. I replated the tailgate latches. I will try and get a few photos up of how it turned out. The box floor has 1/4 sawn Oak. It needs to be bolted down yet. I have many other parts yet that need to be replated before things go back together. So hopefully I will get the chance to take the tail light receivers and various odds and ends to the media blasters in the next few days.

If you've ever cleaned out your garage and found a truck, you might be a gearhead

Awesome truck!

**StingRay** · 05-19-2009, 11:15 AM
