Back in the game - 72 CST Build
I'm sure my story is not much different than most. Had a shop, had a 69 and 72 Blazer had an LT1 powered Wrangler, had a cherry 87 short wide 4x4, wheeled just about every weekend, hit the lake in between .....then got married and they slowly started to disappear. Glad to say I am back in the game.
Started building this 72 in college. Twin sticked the 205, threw in a 4.10 14 bolt and 60, and was on my way to fixing it up when I decided to sell it. I have regretted it ever since....... |

Re: Back in the game - 72 CST Build
So after looking off and on for a few years, I found this 72 jewel.

Re: Back in the game - 72 CST Build
72 CST with a new TBI 350, rebuilt Th350 and 205.
Just started to tear into it. I am trying to resist the urge to frame off as I want to drive a beater for awhile and build it over time. Primary goal is the cancer. Just the typical stuff....not all that bad. |

Re: Back in the game - 72 CST Build
In post #3 I see you fabbed a bolt in spreader bar but in the last post it is gone & appears to have angle iron on top of the bed. Was just curious if the bolt in bar did not work out? When I saw it I thought it was a pretty cool idea but don't want to go thru the trouble if it did not work out.
Thanks Richard
