Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
Got the hinge plates welded to the hood and went ahead and welded up the old factory holes. Also started on master cylinder. Brake lines coming. I started cutting on the bed floor as well. Ugh, it's going to be a project

Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
Seth, this thing is looking killer. So you decided on stock manifolds too? That is the direction I keep debating on. Currently that is how I am approaching mine.

The project is looking great.

Thank you. Ya stock manifolds. My goal is to keep as much stock looking stuff as possible with a few subtle custom touches. I am going to hide A/C lines and some wiring but leaving the washer hoses and some other things to keep the "original" look of the truck...

Only it lays frame on air ride with 22" wheels
you know, like they should of back then!

Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
Got my Sloshtubz painted satin black. Let me tell you, these are made very well. I have delt with a lot of fiberglass parts and you have to do a ton of body work to make em look good. All I had to do with these was sand a little and paint. There were a few light scratches to sand out but that's it. Mike you did a great job. These are first class and Betty is glad to have them cover her tread!

Finally starting on the raised bed floor. Got it mocked up and started welding it in. It will have a wood floor from bedwood. Check it out. Let me know what you think.
