Yay! Another Washingtonian! Which part of the state you from chief? Sadly we don't seem to do a whole lot of meeting up around here. We might all be recluses, or I just refuse to drive south of Seattle XD...
... oh and uh... pictures?

Only cancer I could find on the body (including floor boards)....but I imagine there is more.

There we go...We now have photos up. Thanks for the warm welcome by the way. I am down by Love4theLuv, I'm in Kelso, Wa. I would love to get a Spring Meet going. I have no idea how to even begin to start somethign like that. Although I'm willing to help out in any way.

Now the parts hunting begins....lol I really want a dash and the Mikado emblems but dear god are they hard to find! haha Found one of Ebay couple days ago and it was only the driver side bed emblem. $35!!!!!!

It's going to be expensive but I'm going to get her into paint here soon. Time to learn something new and aquire a new skill set.

Welcome here. I hate to tell you that is a non 72 front bumper, I believe 72 doors have a different set of door handles, the bed is not a 72, I think the heater assembly and gauge cluster is not 72, I don't see the 72 only flasher switch and the switch pods are not 72. Are you sure you have a 72?

I would be forever grateful. Those things are like a needle in a hay stack. Went to the Junk yard today and found a few things I need. The windshield is going for 65 out of the truck and 50 in. but the problem is...WHERE THE HECK CAN I FIND A WINDSHIELD GASKET!? also...are the window seals rebuildable?

Yes, but if it is avilable new here, it should be available new there. The power of shipping and all that...

True. I'm picking up that windshield tomorrow. Any y'all know where I could find a hitachi carb rebuild kit? I have done a general search for thm and nothing...I have no Idea what I'm getting myself into with a 32/36 dev swap. sooooooooooo I really don't know what to do on that. Also...Today, I have figured out that what I thought was an exhaust leak is actually a horrible exhaust manifold leak. I now know where all my back compression is going. :/
