Re: Grandpa's 72 restoration

I've been working on the bed and wood at my house so this weekend I tore it down and loaded it on the trailer to haul it up to the shop. Reassembled the bed and had my dad and a few friends help mount to frame. Body lines all flow very well for the initial fit. Have a few dents on driver side to bodywork then will blow it all apart again for paint.

One issue I have been noticing is that the front driver side of the truck sits about 1" lower than passenger creating a slight twist in frame front to back. You can see it with the bed mounted rear view picture. Not sure if a spring isn't seated correctly or maybe driver side spring is weaker? I'll have to investigate.

Also installed the honda civic weatherstrips on doors, fantastic fit and doors shut great, seals well all around. had to cut 1" out to fit was all.

My son sure liked testing out the steering for me haha...
