Pete,

The truck looks great! I can't remember ever seeing a nicer one!

Vintage Windmills · 09-07-2013, 05:43 PM

Pete, we need some more pics! Got any with the stock style wheels on yet?

El Campo · 09-07-2013, 07:55 PM

Always wanted a 4 wheel drive 72! Some day...

hareball · 09-12-2013, 06:58 PM

sweetest truck on here good strong thread with awesome pics all the way through and we're left out to wonder where things are at waiting for those steelies

**DeadheadNM** · 09-12-2013, 07:15 PM

Waiting until the final items are bolted on - the Custom Camper emblems needed a re-adjust which set us back

Driver bucket and console are in. It drives well. Needs the emblems, door panels, and sill plates bolted on. That's it. Barring some unforeseen circumstance I expect to have final pics next week. Thanks for hanging with me on the build - almost there.

I will say this, I put the resto shop through a lot of grief and they rose to the challenge. If anyone wants a complete frame off, they have the patience and expertise to see the job through. Admittedly, some of their time is being taken up doing a few things to my K5 adding to the K20 delay a little bit...more on that later.

**DeadheadNM** · 09-12-2013, 07:22 PM

Ok here's a peek - little bit of steelie and the OEM rear slider I rebuilt and added Brian Atkinson's NOS trim (rear sliders didn't leave GM with trim):

ryanroo · 09-12-2013, 07:40 PM

Very nice!

**Ol Blue K20** · 09-12-2013, 07:44 PM

Well at least it's a peek.....looks great.....

BB72CHEVKT · 09-12-2013, 07:48 PM

Drove it yesterday!! Finishing some minor details now like the windshield washer pump fail. Will get some outdoor pics with caps after a few more miles and the lug nuts get re-torqued. Thanks everyone!!

Out of curiosity, i just replaced my master and booster, the booster was not anodize plated, is your booster anodized or did you give it a little paint?

That is one sweet truck! wish i would have had the pleasure of following the build.

**72 tigger** · 09-19-2013, 10:22 PM

Looks great!! Bet it feels great to take it down the road! Congrats

**Dieselwrencher** · 09-20-2013, 07:33 PM

Pete, your truck looks better than one ever did brand new! Congrats on an awesome restoration! I love it!

**DeadheadNM** · 09-20-2013, 07:52 PM

Thanks all!! I'll try to post some pics up outside and with caps on ASAP.

Anodized would be perfect - this one is just painted. Thanks! PEte

I got to see this truck in person today. It is unreal. My jaw just dropped the whole time I looked at it. Don't know what else to say.

Pete, absolutely fabulous work on the truck. You have set the bar rather high I must say.

Glad you got it finished and can enjoy the fruits of your labor now.

Congrats on a well done job.

**67cheby** · 09-25-2013, 01:39 PM

Beautiful job !

2003 silverado · 09-25-2013, 02:37 PM

Zoomin · 09-25-2013, 02:47 PM
