The best part about this is Father & son time keep him close this is a crazy world. Listen to your DAD he always wants the best for you. God bless y’all. 🇺🇸
for a 75, you have some truck there! Dont ever get rid of it, you may never find another one in that shape. Good on you for saving and buying it all on your own!!
First thing first, oil those hood hinges, and buy the brackets that strengthen the crush points before you put a crease in it while closing it. Original 73-80 hoods in good shape are hard to find!
Keep the truck. Take care of it. Keep it a pavement princess. In 20 years you will be so happy. Treat the body panels, cab corners, rocker panels and frame with fluid film and it will never rust.
Hell yea man beautiful for you're first! just picked up a 73 dodge d300, getting her running as my first rig. Cant wait to see the progress, all done up its going to be mean.
fine truck,....great son..there is hope for the world yet. thanx for sharing the video,.....ready to watch your other videos on progress you have made.
Nice that the price of long bed square bodies is still at least reasonable so young kids that want to can get into them as a first rig. If this had been a shortbed 4x4 half ton it would have probably cost much more! I always liked long bed look anyway when lifted a little, and of course the bed is more useful.
Best squarebodys are the 73-80 roundeyes! To me I never liked the 81-87 squareeyes but like the 87-92 suburban dually flatnose trucks tgat look like the 88-89 obs chevys!
Get you a bumper off an 84 85 that has the brackets that bolt it to the frame with external carage bolts but a good Reese hitch is nice too. I pulled an after market bumper apart pulling a 92 full-size blazer on a 16’ trailer.
Thanks. We were talking about it tonight and think we may build a more off-road oriented bumper out of rectangular tube. Then we can more easily build a good hitch into it. More for recovery and lighter doing towing.
