Re: Trusty Rusty - 72 GMC LWB

Finally got the frame painted. Getting the final of three coats applied feels good. Now we wait for the front end parts from RockAuto, spindles and springs from ECE and flip kit from DJM. It will be nice to get this thing rolling again.

After we get this back on wheels, we'll start in on the body work. Still need to decide if we should rebuild the TH350 or source a 700R4. If we go with the 700R4, then we can put a 3.73 gear in the rear end. Otherwise, I was thinking of running a 3.43 with the TH350. I want this to be highway friendly so that it we can drive it long distances without running close to 3000 RPM.
