Gettin my daddy's truck runnin <3 woot woot

[olliedawn]

Hi guys, I am a 29 year old new mommy and I have my dad's 72 C20 that has been sitting for about 14 years. I can't remember why my dad parked it. He got really sick and passed away in '04 when I wad 18, and it was parked a few years before that. I went through a lot to get my dad's truck to my house, and now I am finally in a position to be able to get it running and driving again, so I am very excited to start working on this truck. I have a 1 year old son that I cannot wait to drive around with. Driving this truck will bring back so many great memories! There are a few things I need to find and get, a correct year long bed (it has a square body bed on it, not sure what year, which had a camper shell on it) and a few other minor things. But 1st things 1st... The keys are non existant! I would like the ignition, doors, and glove box to be keyed the same, so I have to order the set 1st, but my question is... What else do I need to install the new ignition cylinder? any advise, suggestions, would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

LMC isnt my favorite place to purchase but, this gives you an idea of what you need. I suggest you might look at a site supporting vendor and they will hook you up!

Also keep a look out for a long bed for your truck on CL, they come up every once in a while.
