1972 Stepside SWB

[whiteyandreddy]

Here are some pictures of my 1972 stepside truck after about 9 months of storage. I am looking forward to bringing it to our new house this month. This project has been a long time in the making, due to other commitments. I had the truck at a body shop for ~18 months. After they kept telling me they were making progress (paid for by my initial down payment), I had to have it towed back home with only the hood primed and all my engine work uncovered in a body shop for over a year. I have all the parts and will keep posting as I have new photos. Currently the truck has a newly rebuilt 350SB, 700R4 auto trans and a 3.07 rearend. The red paint on the driver's side is from my son who thought it would be neat to pinstripe the truck one day. Not bad for a four year old. What do you think?
I am interested in advice on welding in new rocker panels and cab corners.
