Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Steve’s been good..... There have been some times when he's had other priorities, but he is focused and makes progress when he gets back at it !
What I need to do is clean my garage whiles he's got the truck !!!!! What a mess !!!

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Thanks Guys !!!
I very happy with how it's coming out, I think the color combo looks awesome !!! One of my previous trucks was this same green, but solid green, but that was just too green. With the white & the trim it really makes the it look sharp. Gary

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Nice work! The paint looks beautiful. I know this has been a long time coming to get to this point.
I also like the wheels. Seems like they have a little bigger holes than most that you see in that style. What brand/size are they? Thanks |

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Mickey Thompson Classic 3's 17" x 9" The holes may be bigger due to them being 17" or when they went to the Classic 3's they may have changed the holes !

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Holy smokes Gary! You had to be kinda ecstatic when you saw her wrapped back up in painted sheet metal?! Now I am really jealous. maybe I should put mine on a trailer and bring her north to your body guy. The two tone looks so good as well. I guess I could always do that after mine's assembled.
Anyway, I think the narrower tires look so much better on these trucks. I will be following suit with a narrower tire. Do you know what the backspace is on your rims and width of the rim? Congrats again! Chris

Man your truck looks beautiful. Good thing you changed the lift, you would have knocked your garage door opener down

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Good idea! I'm always afraid if i hammer drill a hole in my floor for a concrete lag bolt i'll end up cracking the concrete real bad, so i avoid it.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
I hear ya, but I'm too old to be pushing that thing back into the garage. Going out is no problem, going in is a slight up hill grade and that makes the truck a lot heavier ...... "LOL"

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Nothing big, just messed around with my 8-383 emblems today. Painted them to look similar to the original emblems.

Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
Thanks Dean !
One more pic. I used a mini roller for the black around the 383 and it came out like crinkle paint, not the best looking in the pic, but looks really good in person.
