Newbie from San Diego
Hey guys, just picked up a 72 last week, and figured I would join here and get some ideas of where to take it as far as mods go. I am new to OBS vehicles, but not new to modding vehicles
 I know the first area we want to take care of is the interior. The motor runs great, but is a complete dog. We will probably be looking into fixing that up after the appearance details! Look forward to seeing what you guys have!  Here see is after we went and picked her up:  Let the mods begin!!! |

Re: Newbie from San Diego
Welcome to the best place on the net for learning about your new truck!
Which looks super clean from where I sit! I am just north of you in the Temecula area.

Re: Newbie from San Diego
It is pretty clean, but we were happy with the lack of rust and the straight body!
We make it up to Temecula rather often as our dynos are up there, not to mention wineries and family! |

New girl from SOCAL
Hey guys, just picked up a 72 K5 last month, and figured I would join here and pick some brains!
I know the first area we wanted to take care of is the interior. Need to get the seats bolted down better. The motor runs great, but is a complete dog. We will probably be looking into fixing that up after the appearance details! Look forward to seeing what you guys have!
