Re: 1972 Chevy Pickup Project.
I'll bet this is a Dream truck project for a lot of guys including me. Off to a great start. Similar project on the 60-66 suburban side, it might help you if you have not seen it....http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=681291

Re: 1972 Chevy Pickup Project.
Thanks I had not seen that one yet. I'll take a look at it. I can definitely use all the help I can get. I've been working on this project for about a month now I think I'm moving pretty quick.

Re: 1972 Chevy Pickup Project.
Someone else on here is doing the same thing- tahoe/pick-up combo. Can't remember his online name- he was almost done the last time I checked in. Looks like a great project!

Re: 1972 Chevy Pickup Project.
I have seen a couple others on here Tigger that are doing the same thing but I have not seen any of them finished yet. I hope that's not a bad sign. LOL. But I am going to get this one finished.

Re: 1972 Chevy Pickup Project.

Re: 1972 Chevy Pickup Project.
New doors and fenders look like they fit pretty well. Are you going to integrate the dash and wiring from the Tahoe, or use a stand alone harness?

Re: 1972 Chevy Pickup Project.
That is for sharing your photos, especially the demolition. That's my favorite part of a project, and it's what I'm best at!

Re: 1972 Chevy Pickup Project.
Wow,, interesting solution to the problem. What's your plan for the wiper motor? Will it stay in the stock location?
