My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

I recently sold the 94 in my avatar & I now have its replacement.
I have changed a few little things already, and started detailing a little on the new truck.

I am ordering a lowering kit for it next week, its 2/4'd now but I need it a little lower.

Just thought I'd share a few pics with you guys.

I love the way your 1500 looked, I am watching what you do this one....welcome to this club...

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

Nice truck.

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

Looks super nice, going to be a whole different ride than your other truck. IMO you went in the right direction.

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

That truck loos nice and clean, I like it.

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

This is exactly what I have been looking for...where did you find it? Was it on CL? Hard to find a good one that is not overpriced...Would you like to let us all know what you paid?

Great looking truck..

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

I found it here in the local paper. I knew of the guy that had it (he owns some other show cars) & I also know the previous owner (and his family bought it new).
So I jumped on it once I found out it was available.

I feel like I got it at a fair price.

Thats the dark blue, #523. Just like mine, minus the 2-tone. I love it! Very nice truck.

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

Looks real nice the way it is. Cant wait to see it lower, and I would also paint the top part of the grill insert black, the little tab pieces that are in the back part at the top

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

Very Nice Truck! I'd say the stance is nice right where its at, but thats just my preferance........Looks nice, Good Luck......

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

VERY Nice!!! I'm looking forward to seeing future progress. How much more are you gonna lower it? What other plans do you have for it?

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10

Hey JWall ... very very nice lookin truck. I also like your stance as it is but thats just me. A word of caution ... with the wheels that you have if you lower it more you might have an issue with your ralley wheels rubbing the control arms (?) when you turn. I had this issue until I swithced my wheels to TT II's. Others can chime in on this possible issue.

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

Super nice!!!

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

Thanks for the compliments!
I am going to go to a 4/6 so it'll be about 2" lower all the way around.

70cst - I have read about trimming the lower control arms for the rallys.
I am fimilar with this from the 88-98s also.

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

Thats a super nice ride. Congrats on your purchase.:metal:

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

Love that ride I wish I could find a 67 cst in that shape. Hope you don't do to much to it. Sometimes people get a little wild for my taste, but to each their own right. oldno7

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

beautiful truck should look good a lil lower...

whats the plan?

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

Nice truck - jealous.

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

Great looking truck!!

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

The plan is really just lower it a little more and leave the interior and exterior pretty stock. I've always like the stock appearance on these trucks.

The 2 things I have not decided on yet are if I am going to start putting chrome under the hood, and I havent really decided on what to do as far as wheels yet either.
I like the rallys but I may eventually do something else.

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

That is a nice looking truck. It looks great just like it is.

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

I used to not be a big fan of the lowered look, preferring the old fashioned stock look instead. Now I like the look with the right wheels. Good luck, you have a very nice looking truck.

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

hey from N.C. nice and clean truck, looking good :metal:

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

Very Nice Truck

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

Very very nice

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

JWall... I kept seeing this thread and never got a chance to get a post in. Beautiful '72!

And, I think you're making the right decision with the 4/6 drop on it. Keep us posted on your progress, and we need more pics!!!

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

Thanks for all the compliments guys.

I am excited about the truck. It is the first truck I've bought that was so close to finished but I am enjoying changing around a few things to my preference, and giving it a good detailing.

I ordered the drop kit today & I am going to do it over the long New Years weekend.

I think the thing that I was up in the air about was the wheels. When I saw the truck had rallys on it I all but ordered wheels before I ever got the truck home. But I am really liking the rallys on it & have decided I will probably roll them for a while.


I will keep you guys updated and with pics.

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

They do grow on you after a while don't they? :D

I had similar thoughts/concerns with my truck and running ralleys but after a quick repaint and some new decals on the caps, we were ready to run.

I smell a build/project thread, does anyone else smell that? ;)

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

When I can afford another one, that is exactly what I want

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

me too its beatiful!

wait, I cant afford the one ive got lol

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

Beautiful truck, that thing is going to look great a little lower too.

Re: My New Truck... 72 C-10
 

Beautiful truck. It's got a great stance right now.
