Mine was in the scrap yard, for about a year before i hauled it home. Currently, I'm replacing the bed floor from wood to steel. It also needs new trailing arms so while the bed is off I'm going to tackle that challenge as well!

Old 3/4 ton farm truck from Okawville, IL that was home to a family of raccoons in the cab. Replaced inner/outer rockers & cab corners and dropped the cab onto a redone 1/2 ton chassis. Working on the new wire harness today. Yes, will be keeping the original bed sides!

I got this 72 Super on a rescue deal that was going to go to a scrapyard. I was going to part it out because it was in need of a total body job as well as a trans and other work.The bottom 6 inches was gone all around the truck from rust. I got it home and was feeling guilty about parting it. I friend saw my 70 at a show and was in love it with and asked if i wanted to sell it as a friend wanted on bad.. I told him about the 72 and showed him a few pics. I got a call a few nights later from his friend and he told me it was sold than asked how much . I knew he was serious about saving it so i sold it reasonable . He sent me pics of the progress which as about a year and a half. I havent seen it in person yet but it sure looks good so far. Hope this works i havent done this much.
