Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"
all i did was weld a piece of steal to the bottom of the piston then i welded a little nut on so it could screw on. i think its is pretty cool, still needs finishing touches. the good thing is i can put the original one back on when ever i want

Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"
Cool! That piston shifter could start a new trend. I better get going or your yellow truck will be done before mine.

Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"
Nice work on the doors. Looks like you are going to save some GM sheetmetal. I really like that.
Your thread brings back fond memories of my rust repair days. Oh yeah I still have some work to do on my inner fenders. |
