A little brighter. Picture still sux.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Doh! I know they're different - I was thinking your truck had the BB. Oh well, I'll keep an eye out.

I see you're putting the trim on - what the strategy for getting all the pieces to line up?

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

The door trim is the starting point, I line it all up off the doors. That trim isn't adjustable. Doors, cab corners, fenders, and then the bed. I then take tape pinstripe, run a line, and adjust the trim as needed. I have shimmed the bed and a cab a little before to get it all straight.
And please keep an eye out for the shield. Thanks !

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

All I can really say is WOW! Such a beautiful truck. Can't wait to see it done.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Thanks very much! I'm ready to get it finished also!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

This looks awsome, great job.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Cross Plains? I wanna see that truck sometime.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

You know where I live....T

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Thank You, I'm really enjoying the build!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Love the build! My dad was an all original kind of guy and was working on an old (1928?) Dodge before Parkinson's slowed him down. My '70 is going mostly original, with a few tweaks under the hood. nothing as elaborate as NOS etc. but with the "new old" look.

Keep up the nice pictures!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Awe, Thanks! Does your dad still have the 28? If I can be of assistance with the 70.....

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

FANTASTIC build and attention to detail!!!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

great looking build, nice to see another local rebuilding these trucks. i was scanning through your build and noticed your front brake line mounts are on the front of the crossmember just like on my '71. i cant find long enough brake lines to fit mine anywhere, if you dont mind me asking where did you get your rubber caliper lines and how long are they?

thanks,

Nope, he passed away 2 years ago. It went in the estate sale along with two 20's parts cars, a 53 Ford 2 dr, a 63 Buick Special (V6), an 84 Delta 88, and a 90 Chev 1500. The Chevy was pristine with 60k mi, it went for about $3K. I got the '70 then.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Thanks! I still have a long way to go....:waah: LOL !

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Skeeter, I purchased the lines from Southern Ky Classic Trk. I have an extra, I measured it at 13".
On another note,... I lost a dear friend last year from W. town, Roger Poss, RIP. Vehicle accident. If I can help anymore, please let me know!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Sorry for your loss!!! Sounds like he was a pretty classy guy, with the rides he had. Carry on his work with the 70, I'm certain he would be proud! God bless!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Absolutely incredible build! I would love to do the same to my 70, hopefully sooner rather than later.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Thanks, the sooner you start, the sooner you'll finish... Hang in there !

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

One of these days I would love to do a build like yours! In the meantime I am converting my cab to factory A/C, and I am using your photos to see where and how all the parts go. Thanks!

Richard

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

I will take a few extra pics as I'm doing the outside A/C. If you need any pics in particular, let me know, I have many that I haven't posted. I have a lot of photos of the interior part of the A/C.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

That is one beautiful build you've got going on there, your work looks really top-notch, I'd love to see it in person when it's finished. Maybe a Tennessee "victory" tour LOL? (right thru my yard!)
Just your pics so far take me back to October-November 1971 when they were new. Thanks for this thread!!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Trying to talk him into coming to 5150's Truck Show in White House, TN this summer, so maybe you can see it/him there. :metal:

And, TennesseeZ, we need to get Mark's skillz to work on Project Underhaulin. Hint, Hint.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

That'd be cool, I'd really like to see that truck. (or should I say work of art?)

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

You guys are to kind !!!!! Thanks !!! If I can get it finished, I will deff. be at the show!

Gonna be hard to get me away from the shop, I have another to build, right behind this one. Same caliber of truck, but medium green and white, with dark olive interior. And with a cypress wood floor.

Tn Z, would love for you to see the truck, it is a lot better in person, I promise. I'm North of Nasville, your welcome to visit anytime! :metal:

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

My Dad drove a gray with white top, stock 67 lwb when I was a kid, and later my grandfather bought a new medium green olive 69 with a white top. Never new they would become so popular....

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

.... w o w ! great detail! nice!!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Thanks for the props! Much appreciated! Now send pics of the mnitrail 50!!! LOL ! Love those things, I have a new Rupp 90 which is a clone of the minitrail 70, with the fold down bars.:metal:

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Got the right hand door finished, pics suck, the door panel is awesome!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

THat looks FANTASTIC!!! Great job!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Thank You ! Workin on the drivers door now....

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

OK... I think Ill join. lol

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Just found this thread - really like what you have done with it.

It looks fantastic!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

WOW!!! Your attention to detail and originality is great. You are truly an inspiration to all of us who think that GM did it right the first time! These trucks are (in my opinion) perfect from the factory. This is the same thing that I am slooooooooooooooowly trying to do to my '69 C10. Can't wait to see it all come together. Keep us posted.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Tx really has no idea how bad I really am over this kinda stuff! After I tighten a bolt or nutt, or install a part, I "touch-up" ALL, the threads, bolt heads, etc. with my tiny paint brushes. I pinstripe, and airbrush a little, so I have lots of materials to do an awesome job of touching up! So do you really want to join.....LOLOL !

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Thank You very much! I am very proud of the way this one is turning out, the NOS parts have made a huge difference, and it makes me all warm inside being able to install them lol!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Your words sir, are what make this worth doing! That's how I "Re-coupe" my labor cost. Your comments just paid for many hours of work! I wish you the very best on your project!!!! Thank You so much!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Weather was really nice here today, so I pushed the truck out and snapped a few photo's, and cleaned the shop up some. The doors are almost finished, except for the ventshades, more door edge guards, and touch-up painting. One of the photo's shows my dualie in the background, to me, that's deep!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Here's a few more.... And a pic of the ventshades, and they are the green backed!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
 

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
