Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"
Looks good dean! keep them exhaust manifolds just in case you change your mind.
What brand headers are they?

Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"
sanded the under side of the cab 40, 60 , and 100 grit. then i kinda contemplated for a while about if i wanted to paint the firewall black. i always liked black firewalls , it really makes the engine pop. so i went with a black firewall. 1: black is easy to touch up and this truck is going to be driven ALOT
2: im going to paint the truck the original ochre/white when its all back together not when its in pieces so this way i wont have to worry about painting the firewall or getting access to it

Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"
Looking good, Dean. Never been one for chrome air cleaners, but I'm going with one for Mustard, too.

Re: '72 chevrolet c20 custom camper build "Craig"
cleaning up the frame for paint with a knotted wire wheel on a grinder works great. my compressor couldn't keep up with this big a project. im about half done cleans up really nicely
also a 79 i saw for sale
