Re: 72 C10 SWB -- Project "KISS"

Wow. No love for such a nice little truck??

So I took delivery last night. It was a CL buy, seller unknown, sight unseen, all the stupid s#*t you're not supposed to do. But it was an original CA black plate truck with known history and the price was way right so I rolled the dice.

Thankfully, it appears as straight and rust free as the seller claimed. It was late when I finally got to checking it out, but my first impressions were all pretty good. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot to be done to get it to where I'll be happy, but so far ... not too shabby.

What I am most disappointed about right now is that they painted right over the SPID. I'll check under the seat fir the build sheet this weekend.

What I am most excited about right now is how cheap the respray job on it is. It appears that they didn't even scuff the original paint. Why would I be psyched about a crappy respray -- because underneath is what I am pretty sure is the OG Hugger Orange paint. If all goes according to plan, I'll be stripping off the white and bringing it back to original.

More this weekend.
