72 LWB Turbo build
I've had my 72 for 4 years now! Just tore it down a couple months ago and I'm starting to build and go back together with the truck.
Plans for the build 5.3L Junkyard Motor All supporting upgrades to withstand 700-800hp TH400 Trans 88mm On3 Turbo Rebuilt 12bolt rear axle Sorry I didn't take pictures from the beginning. Here are some pictures when I purchased the truck. I've actually used it to haul and it did pretty well. That was a lot of weight! Starting to tear it down C-notching my frame Painted the Frame with POR-15 Frame is Finished with Frame and Paint.

Re: 72 LWB Turbo build
Turbo builds make me happy.
How did you like that POR15? Mine failed in random areas and I ended up restriping it and using epoxy in the end.

I should have used something to bond the spray paint better to it as I don't think it's going to hold up as best as it could have been, but oh well. I don't think I'll have an issue with the por itself.
