Re: Low 72 progress pics...

Looks nice. The shape of the new door fits the body lines much better.

Re: Low 72 progress pics...

Nice! I like how it lines up w/ the marker light. I spent a lot of time deciding on placement when I cut the door in on my truck's bedside. Looks like you got it spot-on

What year and what are the HP#'s? I just picked up an 05 Vortec 5.3/4L60E for a new shop truck but know nothing about the HP#'s. It really does not matter because this thing will not weigh very much but will be one smooth ride. Here is the before and the look I am going for. I just ordered a TCI MII front end with Power rack, Disk brakes, Sway bar and air bags. For the rear I have a 95 T-Bird 8.8 IRS with Disk, Sway and Bags as well. This will be my son's first truck in another 15yrs but if I just let it sit it will be a pile of rust so I figure might as well cash in on the Patina fad for now and get it on the road.

Re: Low 72 progress pics...

Awesome Build!!! I saw the pics of the truck when you had seats in it... Do you have any of the full interior? I want to do the exact same set up, with the 3rd row suburban and the front bench with integrated seat belts...
