Re: 72 k-10 swb

my camera is not cooperating here, so I will update in a few days with the rest of the pics since the last pic is from 2 months ago. I fit my hood and bed today and all interior, doors and headliner are done. Only interior left is glove box, stereo and ash tray. After all that set my bumpers and good to go to starbucks for my $4 dollar coffee. It has taken over a year and a butt load of time and money. By the time I am done, with buying the truck and all the parts finding etc..., it will be about $15k total, but it will be a brand new 1972. The color is 2010 Chevy Camero Cyber Gray Metalic and it has blue metal flake that pops out at you in the sun light.


Enjoy, Matt

Re: 72 k-10 swb

35" tires with a 4" rancho lift. front is spring rear is a 3.5" block. Once I get the weight of the bed on it should level back off.
