Project 72. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bagd72Chevy · 09-03-2009, 11:22 AM

Started this when I was 17, and I've been super busy with school, and getting a job. It's been 4 yrs since I posted here, almost done. I've graduated college, and got a job. Still trying to find time to finish this thing. It's hard with it being 1 hour away from me. The two-tone will be finished to look like a 56 bel-air and after that's it done it will fly back together.

Front x-member is dropped 1.25" with 1.75"Z. Air Ride control arms and Firestone 2600 bags (probably going to go to slams to get more lift). Rear is a custom 3 link with Slam RE7's mounted behind axle. Everything is shaved, caddy tails, shaved gate keeping Chevrolet stamping, suicide doors and hood. LT1, 700R4, 12 bolt with 3.42 posi.

Ask questions if you got 'em. Pics are not necessarily in order (but I think are pretty close).

camaro thunder-I remember your name from back then. The site was a lot smaller than it is now.

That is one amazing truck you have built for yourself there, be very proud of it and enjoy it. can not wait to se more progress!

bigguy69 · 09-05-2009, 11:55 AM

coll looking ride!!!!!!

nvrsatisfied · 09-23-2009, 12:27 PM

wow truck is looking super nice.

any chance a build up for the suicide door job you got done.

ChuckDriver · 09-23-2009, 01:32 PM

Beautiful!

Bagd72Chevy · 09-23-2009, 02:07 PM

Thanks for the comments guys!

As far as the suicide doors, its difficult on these trucks. You have to push the pivot up against the outer skin and Z the hinges to not hit the windows. Don't forget to brace everything, that door jamb is weak. Its the only way to get the door to clear the lower body line as it opens. And mine is oh so close. I'll take some pics of the specifics this weekend.

72BlckButy · 09-23-2009, 02:19 PM

Beautiful project!!

What color blue is that?

nvrsatisfied · 09-23-2009, 03:04 PM

thanks for the info on the doors. if you come up with anything or have the time maybe do a good right up and pics. there is some info threw out the site here but none specific. or atleast i still need to finish searching??? if you get a chance throw some info here http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...09#post3533909 and it might help some of us out more later down the road..... (i got a kit but not much for reference on these trucks)

Bagd72Chevy · 09-25-2009, 04:18 PM
