You have probably already seen this truck before, but I thought I'd start a build thread about it.
My 1972 W200 Crew Cab Stepside 4x4. Ex Air Force, ex Fire Dept believe I'm the 4th or 5th owner. It's fairly solid, lots of little dings, wtojg grille, tailgate rusted down (it used to hold a tank in the bed during its FD duty), brakes are out. Runs like a top, 318/727 spartan interior will get changed over to 'Lil Red bucket style benches, stacks, steps, roll bar and wood on the box will also get thrown on the truck. Mild lift, Dana 60's front and rear, bigger tires and a 440 under the hood. That's the plan, been sorted out and parts sourced for years. It's number 3 on the list, and I'm starting number 2, so it'll be a work in progress, very slow progress.
It is a basic recipe for a fun truck to drive around in and take to shows. I'll put period correct pieces in/on when I switch things over, so it will look kinda factory possible.
