Your frame looks nice and smooth. I like. Also love seeing the longtube headers through were the inner fenders would be..

Re: 1972 gmc 6in lift and 38s custom

What color blue is that?? I love it! I saw where you said its PPG envirobase, but I'm assuming thats the line of paint not the color, right?. Do you have a color code or something where I could match it? thanks and keep up the great work, very nice truck!

Damn nice truck! Doing a 72 gmc conversion myself onto a 73 4x4 frame. 73 has 11" suspension lift and 44" boggers. 1 ton running gear and soon the 72 body . Started life as a shortbox stepside and will continue life as a lifted stepside
