72 Daily Driver
I'm finally getting around to posting some pictures. I recently purchased this truck after looking for sometime. Since I do use it alot to take to work..I wanted the creature comforts of air, heat, etc. I didn't mind doing some small stuff but, didnt' want to get into a large build. This truck was just finished by a guy out of Omaha. Fresh frame off build. Had less than 200 miles when I got it. Most everything is new on the truck.
Some highlights... 100% Frame off 4 year restoration. Rebuilt original 350 V8 and Turbo 400 trans 4 corner air ride system with Firestone bas Factory Tilt Column Factory Tach 20" Coys all around. 20 x 8 front, 20 x 10 rear. Ice cold Air Conditioning I just re did the exhaust. It came with stock turbo mufflers. Changed over to Flowmasters and re routed the pipes so that they barely show behind the tire. |

Re: 72 Daily Driver
That is super looking truck! I can't imagine how deep you had to dig to buy it. That looks like a first class restoration though.Thanks for sharing the pics.
Oh and WELCOME to the board! |

Re: 72 Daily Driver
I can't take ANY credit for the build. The guy did most of the work himself. Truly a homebuilt truck. . I'm only working out the small kinks...and personalizing it. Next stereo(without cutting the dash), maybe a high torque starter, maybe a smaller steering wheel.

Beautiful truck. I'm interested in the steering wheel if you decide to change it.
