Re: 1972 slow build
While the body and frame were separated I figured it would be a good time to clean up the underbody and paint it. I grabbed a grinder and a creeper and went to town on it. 3 hours later I was tired and sweaty and covered in 50 year old undercoating hoping that i was close to done. After the dust settled i looked up and realized i had only made it from the back to just past the rear wheel tubs. These trucks are long! I would have loved to have a rotisserie but all in all it wasn't too bad. I sprayed an epoxy primer and then sprayed Raptor liner.

Re: 1972 slow build
with the body back on the frame, I started back on the rust removal and patch panels.

Re: 1972 slow build
Wheels and tires.. I went with the same style wheel as on my high school car. That picture was taken in '96 or 97 right after its maiden voyage. Id like to think I had the best high school car ever. I still have the car and it will be on the chopping block if I ever get the suburban done.
front: 255/45R20 rear: 295/40R20 I had to use wheel spacers in the rear because of the '69 c10 rear end but otherwise they fit great. Stance is great. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1651454446 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1651454446 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1651454446
