I do, my daily driver "Belle" also served as the tow truck for "Nasty Sally"...Belle has a factory oak wood bed (gets the motor oil treatment annually) she had factory overloads (coil rear) and I installed a series 4 Posi carrier w/373 gears. She running a crate 4-bolt 350 w/performer intake, and my home built 350 Turbo Mr Clinebarger walked me through rebuilding. Sally was the my first 72, I replaced the usual rockers and cab corners, installed a set of 72 C/10 buckets I recovered myself. I installed carpet, reworked all the gauges and repainted the interior, all black. I was determined to build the 72 SS-396 C/10 that the General never did. She had a 350 with a 350TH when I bought her 15 years ago, she has a pumped up 427 in her now. I gave $500 for Sally, and $2500 for Belle, named em after old girl friends I had when them trucks were new! "They take all my money and command all my attentions"

Those will get the job done just fine while being a more trimmed down look. How long does the bed measure? Looks like about 11'. Sharp looking truck! Congratulations!

Thank you Tim, those mirrors are getting swapped out for the west coast style because I cant see around the bed!

Thank you Leon, that axle I bought from you awhile back is exactly what is under that 1 ton! It was destiny! Both HO72's

I'm afraid I may have already sold it to a collector/restorer in Texas...I was joking around and told him I'd let her go for $5K and a side of Texas beef and he immediately agreed! So she's going to a good home in Texas, same home I sold my 1980 KZ-1000 MK-II to a few years ago. Old Sally six years ago takin that first place burnout trophy home... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jXx...FwXZgV5iVEXyeB First motor pic is the 396, the second pic is the 427
