Re: Roushinator's 72 C10 Stepside Restore/Build
I agree looks like it will be a good project, on the hood I woulg guess it needed shrinking to make it tight in the middle and PO did not know how so just braced it instead.

Re: Roushinator's 72 C10 Stepside Restore/Build
Tore into it some more yesterday... Had all kinds of leaf crap in the cowl area. Richard stopped by as well.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Found a repairable passenger fender, new door sill patch panels and SWB Fleetside bed that i am going to pick up. Getting the New/Used bed because i think it will be less work and more cost effective to use this bed that what i have on there already.

Re: Roushinator's 72 C10 Stepside Restore/Build
[QUOTE=roushinator;5558964]My next question was how as this lowered? Was the lowering done by a kit or backyard modifications? Please excuse the dumb questions but Chevy stuff is new to me...
he used the rebar to reinforce the middle of the hood. I remember when I first bought my truck and drove it home the hood was basically flapping in and out as soon as i passed 20 mph. |

Re: Roushinator's 72 C10 Stepside Restore/Build
Some more progress. The frame is in in good shape. Rust is minimal but it is caked with dirt.
