Decade of Dedication, A Boys Dream 72 C-10

[Bagd72Chevy]

Since my original thread didnt have much in it and was in the wrong place I will start this one. 10 years, 6 months, and 8 days ago I started a thread on here about my 72 C10 that I was building. I was 17 years old.

The truck was never finished but I still own the truck and it has been hidden from the eyes of society for over a decade. I have gone to College, Graduated Mechanical Engineering, got my Professional Engineering License, bought a house, bought a mill, 2 lathes, a cnc plasma, gone through a few girlfriends, tinkered with other junk, and now decided it is time. I built the original chassis a decade ago with bolt on type parts (which there werent many at the time). Redid the suspension 9 yrs ago to make it lay frame. Should have left it alone! LOL. The body work is perfect, paint is astounding, and the chassis is crap. So I will be updating this thread with my work as I finish the truck I started long ago and have dreamed of completing. I will be building this truck for myself, my way, and driving it all over this great country.

Here are some pictures of the road to get us to here:

How I bought it in November 2003.

Then I decided it wasnt low enough and I did this. Back when you needed a welder, torch/plasma, and balls to lay out a C10.











Which brings us about to present day. The main reason I never finished the truck is the entire bed is shaved and the stock chassis flexes alot making me nervous it would crack the tailgate skin.

I have a 69 Chassis that I will be building to swap into the truck and finish it out.
