It would appear that you know how to weld! That truck looks like it hasn't been messed with too much. I like it. You'll like this website. It's has been a real gold mine of info for me. I still can't weld, though.

Welcome to the forum.
So what are all your plans?

Re: New guy 72 build
 

Plan is 4/6 drop with flipkit in back spindles and springs up front, it was a long bed cut the back of the frame and moved the rear axle and suspension forward the bed on it is just mocked up all take pics of the frame when it comes back off. When its all said and done it will be flat black with a pearl white top.

Looks like you have a good start already

Re: New guy 72 build
 

Cool! I actually inquired about that truck before I found mine. Great start, can't wait to see the altitude adjustment! :metal:
