I'd check the SPID and see what it had as original equipment before I started. Excellent project. Looks very straight.

Re: What would you do with this 72?
IMO it depends on what you've got in it. Looks like the only non rusty parts are the bedsides and hood, so I'd probably part it out.

Looks like a normal truck for Md - tag it and drive it.

I like it. It's simple. Honestly, I'd fix the metal and use it to haul stuff.

Survivor (and I don't mean the hair band) truck. A lot better than some of them we see around here. If it is mechanicaly sound, drive it and use it like a real truck.

Re: What would you do with this 72?
Looks like a good one to drive. Most guys fix them up to where they belong in magazines and shows,then they are afraid to drive them. I wish I could run across something like that. That's exactly what I need right now.

Re: What would you do with this 72?
I would buff the paint and drive it!!
Nah, I probably would never get around to buffing it because I would be too busy driving it!  Keith |

Re: What would you do with this 72?
Good beater, looks like typical md rust. Nothing wrong with that.
