Well i finally bought the truck I've been drooling over since i was a kid, a 1972 C10 long box, in March of 2017. Truck was a 1 owner truck from Montana where I live now. Had no motor or transmission. Got the truck for $500. I have always loved the 67-72 C10's and thanks to some influence from my wife I went on a road trip and got the truck. Since I have owned it I have converted the long box to a short box, added power steering, put in an LS 5.3 out of a 2004 Suburban, 4L60E tranny, new inner rockers, outer rockers, cab corners, floor boards, inner fenders, outside fenders, new box, new front and rear bumpers, Dakota Digital VHX guages, new tilt steering column, modified leather seat out of a 2006 Ford F150 truck (I know it has a ford part in it lol
) rewired most the truck, new factory rally wheels and tires, all LED lights, rear mount gas tank, ....Im sure theres a ton of stuff I'm missing. Now I'm on to getting truck ready for paint. This truck puts the biggest smile on my face when I drive it. I love the LS motor, its no race truck but it definitely gets up and goes when I step on it. Thanks to this forum and everyone on it for motivating me to do my own build. This will not be a show truck by any means and still has a long way to go. The body work has been the hardest part and Ive learned a lot as I go. Just thought Id share some pics with you all. The awesome part is, I sold the long box for $600 so it paid for my truck and gas money to go and pick it up
Thanks for looking.
