First drive of Spring

It was such a nice day I had to wipe the dust off the 72 and take her out for a drive. It fired right up, went to the gas station and took it out some old back roads enjoying the beautiful day. Here are a couple pics, let me know what you guys think

That truck is purdy! Have to ask, registered in Cal? Also want to ask your rear tire size and setup info. It looks just like my current 69 build setup. Beautiful truck and maybe some interior pics also.

Re: First drive of Spring

Profile says Boone, that's the "Mountains in NC. I'm from way further west so I would consider them hills but it is a nice scenic area for finding photo ops like this. Nice looking truck and great setting for pics.

Thank you sir. I live in Boone but the truck lives in Mooresville where its safe and sound in a garage. There are tons of farm land around the charlotte suburbs so its the perfect place to spot old barns and cool roads.

Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I'm actually contemplating putting some factory 15" steelies with the full wheel covers on it and putting these on a full bagged project. This thing is static in the front and bags on the back but I only did a small c notch and the bags keep leaking so Im thinking about putting 5" drop springs in the back and keeping it simple.

Thanks man, its actually not registered yet. I got it on the road about September of last year so I didn't wanna pay to register it and then have it sit all winter. The Cal plate is what was on the truck before I started restoring it, I figured thats probably better then not having anything back there. I'm gonna get the registration handled soon tho and then I wont be ridin dirty haha. The rear tires are 285/40/22 I think, 22x10 with 8" of BS. Here are a couple interior shots for ya
