Dad's gift that i will give back - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BADPURPLE70CHEVY · 06-17-2013, 08:20 PM

Over at my dads on fathers day and took a stroll above the house to look at the 72 4wd me and my brother grew up riding in. Long story short dad says he's getting to old to mess with it and wants us to have it. Body is shot as you can tell but i know where there is a perfect 4wd cab and bed with frame for 2,000. Plan is to slowly fix her and give her back. My way of saying thanks dad.....

You're a good man, if you need any parts that I have (I have a lot) please pm me, I would be honored to donate to this build. I am sure there are others on here that will follow my lead. Now get out there and go to work, you'll want to complete this asap I would think.

This is very cool of you! I have a 68 GS400 that was my Dad's. Some day I'm going to restore it and give it back to him as well. Your truck is in better shape than his car too.

No problem, all you have to do is prove you're serious by posting your progress. What color is the interior?
