Re: Grandpa's 72 restoration

Looking forward to watching you guys build your trucks. Without obsessively reading this forum I would be lost, so much in depth instruction on every facet of building these trucks. My father in law also has incredible talent and every tool a guy could ask for, makes things much easier...and cheaper.

I wish I didn't have to go complete body off restoration but the truck was so completely shot I had to in order to make it safe and reliable. Plus the truck deserves it, will be a family treasure.

My grandma told me that the old truck used to have wooden stake sides and she and my uncle would haul horses in the back to go riding. Unfortunately no pics of that set up. She did say she has a picture somewhere of the day it was brought home from the dealer with my 13 year old dad sitting shotgun
