welcome to the truck side!!!

 

Thanks, I have always been on the truck side, but the X wrecked my 94 LT 2500, had a 350 roller block, I was going to build for it, then it was wisked away by a moron in a Elentra, and he felt it!

Hopefully my 72 will come out pretty cool, going to look at it today,

 

howd the '72 look?

 

My buddy says its rough, It's not that bad, small dents on fender and bed, usual rust in rockers, doors, little on the roof, Repo parts are cheap and plentiful,

My other 72 was much worse, windshield, roof, doors,

 

my '72 has rockers, 1 cab corner, and the strip above the windsheild. then i added some wrinkles to both front fenders, hood and grille

 

Are rockers hard to do, what did ya hit???

 

Glad to see you're all set now!

 

i encountered some large paotholes followed by a 'washboardy' spot in the road, if youve ever had one of these trucks on a gravel road it doesnt take much to get the *** end loose. i was only doin about 20 tops (true story not just the mom and dad version) and it got squirly on me and i tryed to just drive out of it like every other time it fish tailed. i got the first two slides fine but on the third trip the huge *** factory wheel and updated power steering got me towards the ditch pretty quick when i over corrected. i never hit the brakes till the last 5-10 feet cause it ALWAYS got squirly over 15 mph. thinking back i shoulda just two footed it and crammed on the brakes and punched it at the same time and steered into to pull a nice shitty and stay between the ditches ah well, i was 16, and it was a project anyway.

truck only has 71k oriiginal miles with the only *prior* work being a repaint and interior.
has some rust in the gas tank too, back when i drove it i would go through one of the cheapo see through fuel filters a week b/c of the rust in it. i can only imagine how bad it is now after sitting for 2 years... haha
