72 SWB STEP "Army truck" Budget Build

[WIDESIDE72]

Here are some pics of a 72 SWB step I picked up a while back for $500(!). No engine/ trans, but the SPID says it was a 350/ TH350, PB, PS no AC truck. I am guessing it was Army originally. The firewall and inside of one fender is still olive drab green. (The other fender has been replaced at sometime.) The interior metal is silver and looks original. The PO had a velour seat, "headliner" (similar to a Cheyenne, but no trim) and door panel inserts made. I am thinkig of painting it a late model dark emrald green metallic, for two reasons. #1 is I have a set of pretty nice green Cheyenne door panels and seat belts that I plan to use. #2 is you don't see many green trucks any more. I plan to make it a driver with a 350/ 700R4 that I have in the barn. I have a tilt and tach for it as well. I found the SPID pretty interesting.
