Default Brett's 1972 Chevy Custom

Here is a 1972 chevy pickup that my friend and I built. Took about 8 months and the modifications are extensive. The was truly a low $, high labor truck. The pile of junk picture is really what we used to build it. We sold it last year and that is how I got the $ to build my 1973 Camaro I posted earlier. I will post Mike's 64 Nova when I can get him up to speed on how to use computers. Here are mods:
Cab extended 5 1/2"
Chopped 2"
Bedsides shortened 5 1/2" and welded to cab
Sheetmetal bed and bed cover
Exhaust ran through frame rails
Hood layed back
Bumpers sucked in
Tailgate angled 5 degrees forward
Inner fenders smoothed and reduced in size.
Etc.
Hope this is interesting to you all.

I believe I saw it on Ebay and loved it. The extended cab idea and the overall fit & finish on the truck look great.

Default Hobby or profession?

This is just something I do in the evenings for fun. But none of my or my wife's paychecks go to cars. So I do spend many evening (a couples months at a time) working on other peoples stuff.
