New to the game, 72 lwb fun =)
hey guys, i've posted a couple of time in here asking questions about wheel fitment and been checking out your rides..lots of badass content here! this seems like a great forum. about 2 weeks ago i traded my old 67 fury III for the 72 truck. I dont know why i didnt do this sooner! I love having a truck esp something i can tinker with. I am 31 and this is the first pickup i have ever owned; would you believe how many projects I've knocked out around the house i have been putting off?!? =) anyways, shes a little rough, but seems like a great runner. Just a lil 350 auto. Not trying to get crazy, but do want to make it mine if you know what I mean. I am not a purist and do tend to do what ever makes me happy when messing with this truck or whatever so I am use to criticism, oh well..lol I am new to both this motor as well as these trucks so i will probably be asking silly questions from time to time. I have a couple of pics from when i picked her up and some of what i have done in my spare time the past couple of weeks. I have a 3 / 5 drop on order which should be here in 2 weeks..went with frt and rear coils, shocks and drop brkts for rear. I can't wait! As of now, changed out headlights, frt markers, painted rallies blue, primered the bed, did a little "bumper taggin" =) and cleaned the inside up....elbow grease and seat cover. Oh yeah, dumped the work truck mirrors and threw on the peep mirror. anyways, hope you like and i will post up changes etc.... still think i will try the bmw wheels after the drop.
pretty much what it looked like when i got home:   changing it up a bit:
