I actually forgot about this truck

[slammed427]

About 3 Years ago, I started building a 73 lwb half ton. I got the truck, literally for nothing from a buddy who moved to Colorado and had no use for a 2wd where he was going. It was a rolling shell at the time so I did what any red-blooded idiot would do, I cut it up.

It started off by getting shortened to swb specs, then it went on the road for a few months. I got drunk and bored one night and started to bag it with parts I'd been collecting to do the 79 I had at the time. Once I sobered up and fixed the drunken tack welds, I finished getting all the suspension bagged, but I didn't trust my welder to properly weld up the suspension.

So the truck has been sitting in my buddies back yard in Apache Junction since Nov of 2009 waiting for me to finish it. Well after almost 2 years of not doing anything with the truck, my buddy calls me and asks if I was ever gonna do anything with this pile of junk sitting in his yard. The last time I touched it was in March of last year when I sold the bed off it to a friend in need.

I haven't thought about this thing in over a year now... since I ran into issues with my drivers license. Now that those are sorted out, and I've been itching to work on something, I think its time to blow the dust off the 73 and get it goin.

Pics to come when I get out there and get goin on it.
