JWall's 72 C-10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

JWall · 01-08-2010, 01:43 PM

THIS IS MY OLD 72 - FOR THE BLACK 72 BUILD CLICK HERE

Well I decided I needed to start a build thread for the truck even though it is not a complete build...

1972 C-10 SWB - 350 Crate Engine with Mild Cam - Flowmaster Dual Exhaust - Custom Autosound Radio - GT Nostalgia Steering Wheel - Tilt, Tach, A/C -
ECE 4/6 Drop - 15" Ralleys w/ 235/70/15 Cooper Cobras

I have never really bought anything this close to being done but I really liked this truck and know a little history about it.
I know the guy whos Uncle bought it new & pretty much where its been since then. Plus I really did not want to do a complete build at this time. I am replacing my 94 Chevy Show truck with this and didnt want to be out of the car shows during a long build process.

Here is the truck as it sets today....

________________________________________________________________________________________________

I had only changed a few little things in these pics...like the steering wheel, rearview mirror, painted a few things, new exhaust, etc.

Here is is the first round of pictures with the 2/4 Drop & Old Center Caps...

Man that is one nice ride

chevy_mike · 01-08-2010, 02:14 PM

Great truck!!!! Love the color and the attention to detail.

Good job.

JWall · 01-08-2010, 02:34 PM

Thanks guys. I have been working on getting it detailed out under the hood since these pics...painting and cleaning stuff.

I am pleased with how its turning out.

It will make its show debut at the Darryl Starbird Show here in Tulsa in Mid-Feb.

72BlckButy · 01-08-2010, 02:35 PM

Alright, it's about time and I'm geared up for this.

You had better consider making it to the KS Goodguy's or the Midwest All Truck Nat's in KC, MO in 2010.

big_al_71 · 01-08-2010, 03:33 PM

That truck is awesome......

sgaylord · 01-08-2010, 05:21 PM

Yes, that is one nice ride!

SCOTI · 01-08-2010, 05:37 PM

Wow! Super clean ride right there!

LooseCannon · 01-08-2010, 06:50 PM

Very nice!

**71blksuper4x4** · 01-08-2010, 07:00 PM

Nice truck, the paint looks great, and the motor compartment is really clean. I like your personal touches to make it look close to a Cheyenne Super. Trevor

VA72C10 · 01-08-2010, 07:24 PM

Nice truck! How is the undercarriage on it?

tonypaul · 01-08-2010, 07:34 PM

love it, love it, love it, love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SCOTI · 01-08-2010, 11:21 PM

I think you should leave the current caps on there. The newer caps detract from the OE look.

I thought about that but since the ralleys arent OE anyways I liked the look of the newer caps. Its something that can be easily changed back if I dont like it once its lowered.

I agree, they're not stock so it shouldn't matter. Go w/what you like.

powell72 · 01-10-2010, 12:43 AM

I'm already jealous of this truck, and it's gonna get worse when you get the 4/6 on.

I'll be following this one.

bigsnookmaster · 01-10-2010, 03:46 PM

Very sweet ride!

JWall · 01-10-2010, 04:03 PM

4/6 Is Now Complete...

mcbassin · 01-10-2010, 09:47 PM

That is an awesome example of a chevy truck! The interior looks amazing as does under the hood! wow, not many around that clean!

72BlckButy · 01-11-2010, 09:28 AM

Wow... what a difference a few inches will make, lookin good JWall!

That looks great, you're going to have some fun cruising that this summer.

JWall · 01-20-2010, 08:02 PM

Well I got the truck aligned today & got to drive it a little since the drop kit install and I'm pleased.
