[@TARider2]

Wow absolutely beautiful build! The paint, the stance, so clean and well done. Great job

[@Stotz360]

I need to send you my truck. That thing is awesome and it’s drivable. Great job!

[@swift__]

That is the best patina patch matching I’ve ever seen in my entire life up until this point… 37yrs , ol’ yeller paint takes the cake. This F’n thing is super badass🤜🏼🤛🏼👌🏼🤘🏼

[@level7motorsports]

The guy that did it is unbelievable.

[@mrshifter5007]

I love this truck, it looks fantastic. Robbie's camera work just keeps getting better too. Rolling shots are Ace 👍👍

[@level7motorsports]

Absolutely. Robbie is the real star of these videos. His desire to improve is really showing.

[@jessdigs]

My 70 cst was originally that color, orchre when my pops bought it.. My dad called it baby shit yellow when i was a kid.

[@level7motorsports]

My dad’s generation all hated that color.

[@SaneCayne]

Can't believe how low that thing is. Impressive you can get those massive rollers to clear at all angles and such. Love it.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

I am in LOVE with this truck!

[@Metalwolf765]

That truck is unbelievably cool. I know it’s not finished, so please tell me that the shift knob is going to be black. That white knob sticks out like a sore thumb. I think I’d do a black shift lever too, and would have done an OE style steering wheel with a thicker grip wrapped in the that cork leather with the inner part in perforated :)

[@level7motorsports]

Haha. Appreciate your opinion. A lot of people like white knob because it’s a throw back to the old hurst knobs. The stitching on the dash pad is white and the trim around the door panel with be what as well.

[@razorhaven66]

As always, great video and great build!

[@level7motorsports]

Glad you like it!

[@richardbarthelemy4431]

Man!!!!! This is a perfect truck. It’s like you read my mind specially with the manual transmission. This is the blue print of how to build a truck. Every body take note!!!!!

[@level7motorsports]

Haha right on!!

[@richardbarthelemy4431]

What’s the cost of this project without body/interior- basically I’m asking for chassis engine transmission brakes setup

[@papapericos]

What a great job guys! 🤩, My dream is to take my truck to level 7 and do all that epic stuff , someday 🤞🏻

[@OneofMyTurns]

Man I love the 72. My neighbor when I was a kid had one he bought new and it had a 400 small block from the factory!!

[@level7motorsports]

So cool.

[@rblain82]

Absolutely NAILED the stance...

[@ScottRichardson-hh6pt]

Another amazing truck from you and your team sir. The best part about this truck and every other one is no matter the budget your attention to every detail is truly what sets you apart from the rest. I am a fan of the performance first, beauty second platform in which you seem to operate in and it shows in every build. Thank you and the UBT man behind the camera hahaha.

[@level7motorsports]

I appreciate that. We really try to sink ourselves into these projects. Also using our own thought processes to come up with ideas.

[@TheFerris70]

Love this truck as you say the color and look is perfect on all aspects! Would love to see the underside with the exhaust, love the sound! Building a 55 Chevy truck on a no limit chassis with an ls3 and looking for ideas on exhaust. Love the content.

[@level7motorsports]

I’ll post a short of the underside.

[@zachdavis5394]

This truck is 100% spot on. Absolutely love it. Will be reaching out to do my wife's grandpas.

[@level7motorsports]

Right on!

[@georgboone6086]

You guys build top notch rides! My grandad had a long bed that same color when I was a kid. Awesome video. Keep them coming.

[@level7motorsports]

Thanks! Will do!

[@isaiahrivera1720]

I don’t see cars/trucks often that I would not change a single thing on, but this is definitely one of them, damn this truck is beautiful 👌🏽

[@level7motorsports]

Haha. Appreciate that.

[@sru1436]

Ochre colored trucks are awesome

[@in4theaction]

That opening has so much enegery! Love it

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Thank you, Tazzy! You inspired a lot of it 😘

[@LP23D6]

Great looking truck. Joel is a friend of mine and does top notch upholstery!

[@level7motorsports]

He’s amazing. A huge asset to all of our projects.

[@matt_1969ChevyC1o]

Every build gets more and more refined. Bravo

[@level7motorsports]

I appreciate that. We are trying.

[@MarkPritchett-tj7wu]

turned out good,glad to be apart of breathing new life in old truck. still waiting on that ride before it leaves.

[@TheIncredibleHoosier]

This truck is a perfect build 👌

[@jerrymelnychuk1668]

Amazing truck fellas ! Great job Jesse and the team. To be honest it was a little hard to watch, my dad had this exact 72 same colour truck I learned to drive with the 402 big block ,tan interior bucket seats etc Loved that truck miss it in a huge way ! Many great memories ! Thanks for bringing me back to that time guys! Take care

[@level7motorsports]

We appreciate you watching and for sharing that.

[@MidnightCustoms-C20]

I've been watching your videos for a while and its inspired me to try and build a pro touring truck myself. Currently teaching myself metal fab and welding in the garage, to do something like this with my 71 C20. Love the videos and all that badass work you do !!

[@level7motorsports]

I love hearing stuff like this. You can do it, just keep doing it.

[@russellcostin3012]

jesse your like a mad sicentice the 72 is beautiful everything you have done to it is perfect truck would love that setup .

[@bumatlarge51]

I'm going to send my truck to you guys one day, amazing craftsmanship.

[@sycoaniliz]

Man this has me real pumped for my obs. I'm not doing full frame, but just about everything else. Nice to see the estopp, this is exactly the implementation I have in mind for mine so it's cool to see someone that's already done it.

[@level7motorsports]

That’s what it’s all about. Have fun.

[@LyfeisByke]

I ordered 19x12s to run 325’s a couple weeks ago, now I can’t wait until they come in, that truck looks so good.

[@level7motorsports]

Good choice!

[@4litrespoolyboi206]

Straight to my favourites playlist

[@level7motorsports]

Boom

[@javierr8459]

Killer truck!!!!!! i need to send my c10 to level 7 already. The straight 6 3 on the tree is getting boring 😂

[@smallmouthfreaks7609]

Great truck, awesome video 🤙💯

[@level7motorsports]

Glad you liked it!

[@SaneCayne]

9:10 Wish we could have seen that storage area. (Trying to brainstorm a custom solution for that on my own truck.)

[@level7motorsports]

We’ll get that for ya on the final wrap-up. Thanks for watching!

[@jwedge9041]

Saw this at a target in south florida last week, now I see a video, good stuff, sweet ride🤙

[@dirtymurt5870]

Sick truck.. Just wish i had the deep pockets or friends with the skill set needed to do things like that to my 87 R10 Silverado

[@malc1012]

Awesome truck! Lucky

[@user-pi3sp6oz3k]

Very nicely done!!

[@HarrisArt]

Amazing as always guys!

[@level7motorsports]

Thanks Kasey

[@craigpeterson4779]

Looks awesome!! Nice work!!

[@level7motorsports]

Glad you like it!

[@sammore4745]

67-72's are the coolest GM trucks! Sick footage out driving!

[@level7motorsports]

Yes they are!

[@Coursey1983]

Love this video. This is definitely my 2cd favorite 67-72 being built at Level 7 😉.

[@alexzamora6700]

Amazing truck. Looks like the doors still close like crap tho. Maybe add trique door latch kit?? That’s the next move on mine .

[@level7motorsports]

We use the Trique latches a lot and they are great. The doors on this truck close pretty good though.

[@JaredR1996]

It’s funny that I named my ‘68 El Camino Ol’ Yeller. Seems we have the same taste 😅 Also that truck looks absolutely gorgeous

[@level7motorsports]

Right on

[@olhaftun437]

Killer Video dudes🤘🏼

[@nicholascerqua2975]

Badass Jesse!

[@level7motorsports]

Thanks dude.

[@GorhamWorks]

Im looking at the roll bar! Can you tell us more? Great build! All the details are really clean!

[@level7motorsports]

Yes we built that one. We are trying to get to a point where we can offer them to the public

[@5off5onRFK]

Hope my truck can look and handle that good one day

[@level7motorsports]

You can do it!

[@dannyclark6107]

Great looking Truck can you do a video of the under side ie the exhaust ect once again great job

[@level7motorsports]

Yeah maybe before it leaves we can post a short.

[@ericthompson3574]

Awesome truck, would you talk about the fuel filler in the bed?

[@Squarebody_Builds]

You can always hear the dorky girlish laugh of Robby

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Bahaha most people say it sounds like Burt Reynolds but I guess “girly, dorkish” is a close second

[@bigjav240]

Super cool build. Can you talk numbers? How much do I need to have you build one?

[@level7motorsports]

If you’re serious about a build shoot me an email. [e-mail]

[@tenmin12]

Under the products listing it lists wheel spacers. Are these 20x12’s running .5” wheel spacers too?

[@level7motorsports]

They are 19x12 and we are not using wheel spacers.

[@tmydland2000]

What offset are your wheels? I have a no limit chassis set up as well and not positive on wheel offset yet

[@level7motorsports]

6” but we narrow the rear to fit the same back space all around. A 12” / 6” BS won’t fit with the 62” rear. Well not unless you pull the bed sides.

[@brentbarr498]

8:32 Question, why didn't you go with the Altman Easy Latch system? I see you kept the OLD OUTDATED and quite frankly HORRIBLE OEM door latch system. Nobody wants to SLAM a door to close it. I'm gonna use them on my build cause they just make sense. I have this EXACT same truck, paint and everything except mine is the C10 base model farm truck turned daily driver for my 25 year Air Force career. Now my dad and I are doing a RESTO MOD on her and bringing her into the modern age yet still maintain those lady like features we've all come to love from these old truck! She took care of me all those years while I wore the uniform now I'm gonna take care of her by making her a MODERN 1972 C10 with attitude. ;)

[@Supramk3350]

Did you guys make the roll bar/harness bar? If not who makes it?

[@level7motorsports]

Yes we made it.

[@KNIGHTRACEDOTCOM]

Very nice. Makes me wonder if this is not the way to go for reducing waste.. Most EV cars will be in landfill before they're 1/3 the age of this.

[@kyle091986]

What rear end ratio?

[@level7motorsports]

3.89

[@kyle091986]

@@level7motorsports thank you
