I like how it looks now, but would like to drop it mabye 3/5 not too low, it think it makes the truck look good and handle better. For now I'm just restoring little parts of the truck to keep me busy, it's been fun.

Re: First truck, 1972 c10

Just installed some new handles and window cranks, they are a little loose though. I tried Teflon and cardboard with limited success anyone have any other ideas

Decided to pait the bezels black on my grill, the turned out bad so i resorted to painting the outer part near the headlights. Masking took the longest, i had to cut around the grill free hand with a razor blade. i like how they turned out but would like to paint to fill in around it as well.

Re: First truck, 1972 c10

Window was stuck in the up position.
First i took off the door panel and found that to sets of rollers weren't on the track.
Took off the vent window the tilted the window to be able to put the rollers on the track. This took forever, after i greased all the tracks and rollers. Still were hard to roll up, i think i need a new regulator.
