**thelonerife** · 10-24-2009, 12:02 AM

**thelonerife** · 10-25-2009, 07:43 PM

truck is not for sale anymore. I'm going to keep it.

VA72C10 · 10-25-2009, 07:54 PM

Very cool. Glad you kept one of them

Any plans to work on it/finish or just enjoy it as is? (which is already sweet)

gcburdic · 10-25-2009, 09:27 PM

Glad you're keeping it Chuck...I bet it was hard to see the 72 super go away this weekend...I can only imagine having both of them go away!?!?!....

So, what's the plans now...looks like it lacks very little before paint!!

**thelonerife** · 10-26-2009, 12:22 AM

I have made a list tonight of things I want for it. My exhaust got louder yesterday so I think one or both of those old mufflers is hollow now?? I'm going to take it in soon for exhaust before I get a ticket.

tdave00 · 10-26-2009, 12:41 AM

Glad you are gonna keep it Chuck. Looking forward to the updates.

I want to do a few things to it.

exhaust
lowered shocks on front
shock reloators on rear and air shocks
super track bar
redo seat/may be getting some buckets
hidden hitch

I will do most of this and drive it while work on it.

VA72C10 · 10-26-2009, 11:02 PM

Sounds like a good plan. Hope to see it in person next year.

gcburdic · 10-27-2009, 09:02 AM

Nice....a rolling resto!!!...Are you gonna paint it or just leave it primer??...

**thelonerife** · 10-28-2009, 12:19 AM

I want to make all the changes then paint it.

*highperf4x4* · 10-28-2009, 11:30 PM

Subscribed.

**thelonerife** · 11-03-2009, 10:27 PM

Well I didn't get my exhaust on. I will get a super track bar and some shocks relocated then get the exhaust done. I don't want the exhaust to be in the way of where that stuff needs to go. They can work around it after I get it done.

**thelonerife** · 11-13-2009, 10:19 PM

I haven't done anything on this truck. i have gotten the itch again and bought a swb frame,bed and cab for another project. I did get some speaker boxes from high perf4x4 and I need to get them installed. I will have the week of Thanksgiving off to get something done hopefully. My new project is showing up then too.

*highperf4x4* · 11-14-2009, 01:19 AM

I'll be waiting!

gcburdic · 11-14-2009, 10:33 AM

New project?!?!....Awesome Chuck!!!....Any details??

**thelonerife** · 11-15-2009, 12:10 AM

well so far its a 99% rust free cab, a wood floor swb bed( no wood as of right now)-new sides,stainless strips and nice head and tailgate. front clip will most likely be 71-72 but who knows. can't wait

VA72C10 · 11-15-2009, 12:59 AM

Sounds like a sweet truck!

gcburdic · 11-15-2009, 10:12 PM

I got a 68 front clip that needs some work, but nothing you couldn't take care of....let me know if you'd interested??...here's my thread on it with pics....I'd like to trade for a few things, but would let it go cheap if you want to do cash?!?!

**thelonerife** · 11-18-2009, 10:54 PM

Geoff, I may be goig with a 71 -72 clip on that project. Thanks anyway.

**thelonerife** · 11-18-2009, 11:04 PM

Very little progress as I've been busy.I got some headlight bezels and put them on. I hooked up my electric choke and got it working. I also recieved the shock relocators for the rear.

*highperf4x4* · 11-18-2009, 11:17 PM

Cool, what model carb are you running?

**thelonerife** · 11-18-2009, 11:46 PM

Its an Edelbrock 1406.

*highperf4x4* · 11-19-2009, 12:33 AM

Ok, I was curious because I couldn't see your fuel line at the top rear.

dk1972 · 12-25-2009, 12:21 AM
