Re: New guy here with my 72 SWB C10

Hey welcome , tips ? Tricks ? Lol well ? Carry some sheets with you a good tip is to fold up some sheets and put them behind your seat and if you are out driving your truck and you buy something put the sheets over that beautifull wood bed floor so you dont scratch it LOL , NICE TRUCK MAN !

Welcome from Tennessee. Very nice truck, looks like someone invested a lot of time and effort into the build.

Re: New guy here with my 72 SWB C10

Thanks for all the replies, ya I picked it up from a guy that bailed on the build due to $$$ so it does need a few little nick nack stuff but nothing to big it is set up with airbags and a c-notch In the frame and that's all new to me so I have been doing a lot of searching on here to educate myself on that stuff.

Re: New guy here with my 72 SWB C10

Re: New guy here with my 72 SWB C10

Overall it looks great. If you don't mind me saying I am puzzled by the gray or offwhite color in the cab and under the cowl. Is that primer that just didn't get painted in the hurry to get this truck together to sell?

No it's pained that gray color in the cab and all the accents are painted to match same with the bed rails between the wood

Honestly, I'm not sure I picked the truck up from a body shop owner who was selling in after the guy that was doing the restoration bailed on it due to $$$$
