Pics of my 72. 4 years ago - today.
My dad had parked it in the field for several years. In 2008 I finally talked him into giving it to me. After new fluids, filters, battery, and a little carb cleaning we had it running.
 I drove it around for a while - even towed my buddy's Ford to the shop with it.   The I decided to tear it apart. Thought it would be a quick job.   After changing jobs, moving three times, and getting married things started coming together.       All the photos I have for now, chrome, glass, and grill going in this week. Will be home in the next week or two.

Somewhere I have pictures of me with this truck when I was barely old enough to walk. I'll have to get them scanned in and post them as well. This truck has a lot of personal history, indeed.

Re: Pics of my 72. 4 years ago - today.
Great story! Like someone said that green and white is great looking on this year. My G-pa had one the same colors that he kept until he was too old to drive. Wish I had the opportunity to save it back then but I didn't even know any better at the time.
And you're about a stones throw and a fart away from me. Are you keeping it on your dad's place or in one of those rent-a-shops?

Re: Pics of my 72. 4 years ago - today.
I will still have a little work in the interior after I get it back.
I need to refurbish the woodgrain on all the interior pieces, have the bench seat reupholstered, and I'll need to buy a new steering wheel (the current wheel is in pretty bad shape).

The chrome and lights are in. Only waiting on the glass guys for the windshields and UPS to deliver the new outer grill shell.

Re: Pics of my 72. 4 years ago - today.
Nice truck and nice work on the body. Mine was that color combo when I bought it. It's RED now though!

When I took it to the guys back in June it took two trailers to get everything to them. The bed was worked and in Z-Chrome and bolted to the frame. The frame, suspension, and drive train were all together. The cab was in Z-Chrome. I hadn't touched the front clip or the doors. The rest of the truck was in plastic totes and I had boxes full of bolts in baggies. They were originally just going to do the paint and body and bolt it up. A few weeks later the guy called and said "How would you like to actually drive this thing home? I'll put it all back together for you for just a little more cash." After 4 years it was an offer I couldn't refuse. I've been very happy with these guys indeed.

Re: Pics of my 72. 4 years ago - today.
Update:
I haven't been able to get any high quality pics yet, but here are a few I snapped in my driveway.     I'm going to get some better shots in a more scenic area soon.
