Woodys 72

Post by Woodys72 »

Hello all,I recently received my great uncle Woody's '72 sport custom bumpside truck.I would like to get the truck back in shape,and one day restore it.In the past month,I have gone over the front brakes and hubs,replaceing brake hoses,bearings,and seals.Next,I'm going to the rear brakes,then engine belts and hoses.Most of the rubber on the truck is toast.I'll have a few questions for you experts here,and look forward to seeing this beauty back on the road,and shining.Thanks,Mike.

Thanks for the warm welcome,guys.I'll post some pics as soon as I can get some resized.My vision is to keep the truck mainly stock,with the same maroon/white paint,dual exhaust,and some nice wheels.The truck has 70,000 original miles on it's 302,still runs good,has a little rust,but a very straight body.

Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in garages. (Apologies to Kenneth Grahame.)

No need to resize your pictures if you use a hosting site. It will resize them off of your link automatically.

The way I post pictures is using a free Photobucket account. Upload your pictures to photobucket and then when you click on any of your pictures on photobucket, it will show you 4 links on the right hand side. Just copy and paste the 4th link down (bottom one) and put that link in your post on this site. Your picture will automatically show up when you post your message.

Easy stuff. :thup:

It didnt post the picture because you did not use the Share Link titled IMG (4th link down on the right of the picture). Just copy the IMG link and post it in your thread and it will show up...

By the way... Good looking truck! :thup:
