Restoring my dad's '72 F250 Crew Cab Camper Special

Post by spotter »

Totally new to the forums and wanted to share my truck with everyone. This truck was given to me about 6 months ago by my dad. It's a 1972 F250 Crew Cab Camper Special 2wd with a 390 v8. He purchased it used in the late '70's in Long Beach, California. It was his daily driver for about 20 years or so, and has been sitting on the side of his house for the last 10 years. I have some really great memories growing up with this truck and am excited to get it lookin' sharp again. As you can see, it's in great condition for the most part. There is some rust in the typical spots, but nothing that can't be fixed. I look forward to sharing some photos of this project as I move forward. I'm sure I will have many questions along the way. Here is a picture of her... If it's not showing up, let me know and I will try and repost it.
