Re: Grandpa's 72 restoration
Yeah that's OG '56 black paint, 235 inline with oil bath air cleaner, 3 on the tree. Most of the metal work will be inside the cab, couple holes to fix, lower door hinge pocket repair, cab steps. But my goal is to save absolutely as much factory paint and sheet metal as possible. I'd like a T5 trans swap for drivability, power disc brakes, rebuild steering box, etc. Maybe a Sids drop axle. But probably staying 235 power. CLR bath, meguires and buff paint.
The trucks name has always been RIP. He sat for 20 years in a machine shed on same farm my blue truck came from. My dad got it running and driving well and used it when I was growing up, but has sat in his shop for another 20 years. Will be a FUN project!
