MikeHoncho Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Figured I'd finally start a thread on here about my truck She's a 72 521 I picked up from a tow yard in Stockton -5 speed -weber carb -lowered -fuel tank in bed -bucket seats (which I hate. Anyone have a bench seat?) When I bought it Quote Link to comment
Jayden71 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Cool lil truck. I gotta bench Quote Link to comment
MikeHoncho Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Sold the escalade wheels and ripped the foam cover off the dash, filled the holes and painted it, and added a Z steering wheel I just rebuilt the weber and now I have to replace the fuel pump and most of the fuel lines cause I just found out they were cracked Quote Link to comment

mklotz70 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 ditto on the dash :) Quote Link to comment
roadwarrior Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 I like the red wheels. Nice find. What did you use to fill the holes of the dash in? Quote Link to comment
freekwonder Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Nice, does your fuel gauge still work? I've got my tank in the bed also and need to find a way to hook the fuel gauge up. Quote Link to comment
MikeHoncho Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 I like the red wheels. Nice find. What did you use to fill the holes of the dash in? A buddy of mine just welded the holes for me and I smoothed it all out with body filler Nice, does your fuel gauge still work? I've got my tank in the bed also and need to find a way to hook the fuel gauge up. I just saw your truck and I was going to ask you the same thing. I need to find a way to make my fuel gauge work too. It's funny, I have peep mirrors on my truck too Anyone around the Fresno CA area have a bench seat they might want to sell or trade for?

freekwonder Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 I saw these, but wasn't sure what our ohms are at if they would work. http://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=276/category_id=62/home_id=62/mode=prod/prd276.htm Quote Link to comment
