Nice lookin', what are the plans?

nice clean truck!

Re: 1972 Chevy C10 "Whitelie"
 

My plan was to give it a little clean up/detail/attitude. I ordered a new stock blue steering wheel, replace all the exterior lenses, get rid of the white bumpers.

Nice truck there

I like the cut lines on the bed, i think they planned well on the sectioning. You really should (if you haven't already) look inside the frame rails at the cut to see if they welded in a diamond plate backer for added strength.

Hubcaps and wheels. Wheels are 15x6's and 15x8's. Painted wheels argent silver.

Buddy's name is Brooks. He is a badass fabricator.

Re: 1972 Chevy C10 "Whitelie"
 

Looks really good, good stance and wheels too. Looks like Brooks knows what's up!

Re: 1972 Chevy C10 "Whitelie"
 

A little update.Had Brooks make me some more parts. Custom rear cross memeber with adjustable carrier bearing mount and holes for dual exhaust. Long- to-Shortbed frame box stiffeners bolt in to box frame where cut was made. Lastly Leaf spring crossmember bolts in for more driveshaft clearance.

Truck is all back together and now. VERY VERY happy how well it turned out.

Im not a lowered truck kind of guy but this truck looks great .

Re: 1972 Chevy C10 "Whitelie"
 

Here is a pic to show how good my painter is. Cam rules! Several people have told me in person they can't believe how good the Paint blend is. Truck is original paint except where cam blended bed scars.

Re: 1972 Chevy C10 "Whitelie"
 

Any plans to add the rear side markers back in?
I bet Brooks could build a "stamping die" to recreate the recess.

Re: 1972 Chevy C10 "Whitelie"
 

Someone else is working on that in AZ not Brooks. My next truck will retained the bed side marker lights. Its a original paint 1968 GMC longed 3/4 ton. Big plans for this 1. I already named it #foolsgold.
