Re: 1972 Medium Olive SWB Driver Build-“Chester”

Pulled the truck out last night while I cleaned the garage and did a little rearranging. Overall I'm pretty happy with how its turning out. I do have to keep reminding myself I'm not going for perfection, just a fun driver. Once I get everything complete I will try my hand at "fauxtina" to match the fender and bed. Then it'll be time to put on the rest of the trim.

Should start on the interior tonight. Then its time to lower it down a bit.

Working on a set of tires (started another thread about that) for these 18s. I currently have 235/55-18s on the front and 255/55/18s on the rear. A guy has a deal on a used set of Michelins in 245/60-18 and 265/60-18 in the rear. Current rear tires are 29" tall. The 245s are 29.5" and 265s are 30.5" tall. Not sure if they will be too tall for the look of the truck.
