Project 72' Green Machine
Well I have been trolling here for some time and have finally gotten my dads 1972 Fleetside transported from western Pennsylvania all the way across to New Jersey. A quick shot of history on this old work truck. My father bought it new in Detroit for about 2300 bucks. Drove it home and first thing to do was remove the cam shaft from the 250 I-6 and replace it with something providing a little more juice. His choice, a 1966 I-6 230 cam which changed the motor entirely. Driven for 20 years in east coast snow and salt the truck is almost entirely intact. The frame 99% solid and the body is finally starting to show its age and corrosion. The old man undercoated for the life of the truck. Used engine oil and many trips down dusty dirt roads. Its a country method but very effective. The bed is solid but bumped up, the bed wheel wells show 20 years of hauling wood and cab is as filthy as can be. Lots of work waiting for me.... But threads suck with out pics.
