Project NOT4SLE

I am starting a build thread on the 72 truck I bought to be a daily driver. It is a SWB truck with PS, PB, and AC. It is in relative good shape with minimal rust on the drivers side floor board. NNo holes through the metal though.
Initially the Water pump was bad, it had no thermostat, and it leaks a little oil from the transmission somewhere.
I replaced the thermostat and housing, the water pump and was going to rebuild the Rochester carb until I found out it was for a 69 427 corvette which will still fetch a good amount of money on ebay. So I am dumping it on Ebay and bought a new Summit 600CFM carb, intake and filter.

Plans for this truck are a 4/6 drop, 20" Coys, 295/40-20 rear tires and 255/40-20 front Toyo tires.
Down the road it will also get a nice motor built, interior done, and then a final paintjob. I have not decided on a color as of yet but it is leaning towards a silver/black/red paint job.

Of course the name on the project is what I ordered when I registered it.

On to the pics,
