Truck is looking amazing, really enjoyed reading your build.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

i apologize in advance if i missed it. What gauges are you using that work with your duramax? What is your gas tank out of and what size is the tank?

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

I haven't decided just yet. I have been looking into getting a custom dash made from New Vintage USA. I like their 69 series. I have seen Dakota Digitals and others used. You could possibly even use the stock gauges and convert the factory speedometer to electric. Trevor

thanks. ill check out new vintage. What is your gas tank out of and what size is the tank?

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

New Vintage does really nice work, they made this custom set for my 50 GMC. Highly recommended.

31 gal blazer tank. I believe there is a 40-45 gal. Suburban tank as well, but won't fit a swb frame. Would have to be a long bed.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

your truck is looking good. but I got to ask how are you gona get it thru your new garage door when you get the new wheels and tires put on? are you gona flatten the top even more?:smoke:

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Taller garage door before this shop door. Kind of an odd garage. This one is a drive through garage in the back of where my normal parking spot will be for it. It was the previous owners wood shop. My jeep has 4" lift and 35"s and fits under that door fine.
I am only going to keep this truck at 4" lift max or below.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Wedding is coming up. Lots of last minute things to do to prepare for it. Getting anything I can done on the truck. Tonight it was pulling out my tailgate and getting my clearance lamps drilled out. I am using the 73-80 style lamps as the lens said 70....usually lamps have which year they were started. It was all about the details.

I like the Lights on the tailgate that will be a Cool touch.
Your truck is looking Awesome. Great Job.

Had to clean out the garage to organize and to get prepared to work on this thing. So I pulled it out to clean off it off and snapped a few pics while at it. She hasn't seen much daylight since starting the build. I also removed the roof again to complete the welding on my inner, but did see that the outer roof will lay how I want it.

Re: Project: 1972 K30 Crew Cab Duramax
 

Always nice to clean things up a little- truck looks good. Is that your chevelle in the background?
