Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Thanks guys. Should have the rest of the sheet metal back from the body shop in a week or so and then I can jamb everything together. Also gonna make a sweet battery box on my buddies laser cnc machine, should look something like the fan brackets. Stay tuned

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

SWEET radiator !

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Great progress Dude! It is looking sweet!

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

I love the brackets for the electric fan!!!

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Thanks guys. I'm tryin to talk Gary at Fluidyne into making radiators like this one in production designed to fit trucks like ours. Would there be any interest? They would make the units completely decked out with the fan and everything

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Can one of the moderators change my title to "72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane"???? My girlfriend named my truck Jane and I was trying to think of a clever title.

As far as progress goes, nothing has really happened. I got headlights and a voltage regulator, haha. I should have the rest of the body back hopefully by the middle to end of next week. Stay posted for pics:metal:

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Done!:D

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Thanks Geoff!! Hey what do you know about the TN truck farm??

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

very nice progress!

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

You referring to Dean's place? I have been and talked to him before. I understand he has had some bad deals in the past (on here) but I don't know the details .. nor do I want to.

Just sayin.. He seemed like a good dude to me but I'd approach somewhat guarded just incase.

He's got a bunch of stuff though! He knows his trucks knows the value and it pretty proud of the stuff he does have. He had approx 35 trucks in his lot the last time I went up there.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Yea that's the one. I was checking out his website last night and couldn't believe the stuff he had. I was thinkin about makin a trip out there (3.5 hrs) but if he's to high on prices then I'll save my money. Looks like there is tons of potential tho

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

If you wait until fall, Dean usually comes to The Charlotte Auto Fair. You tell him what you want and he brings it to the show. Pretty good guy far as I can tell. I wish he would update his website pics and put up some pricing though.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

I'm late in the game, but your doing an awesome build. I love the detail you are putting in to this, especially considering your age.

Not being critical, but those radiator fitting need to be another color. Yeah, I know you paid buck bucks for those pretty blue fittings, but they really clash with your orange and black theme. Maybe a trip to the powder coaters...;)

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Again, Dean's a good dude and I have no reason not to like him. I bought a whole bunch of stuff from him in fact. It might be worth your trip to go see him? Maybe stay a couple days in Pigeon Forge (he's on the same exit 407) but .. bring your $$. He knows what he's got.

I bought one of the cleanest 68 Core Supports from him I have ever seen.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Thanks for the compliments. Idk if the line would be able to survive the powder coat cause they have to bake the powder on after it gets sprayed. The other alternative would be to get new fittings and get them powdered and then build the line but that's probably a 200 dollar venture for an upper rad hose. I agree tho, I'm not really a fan of the obnoxious blue fittings. Might just rock them for a while and put that on the list of fine tuning.:metal:

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

I understand. I think that in order for the trip to be worth my while he would have to be pretty cheap on his prices considering I don't really need anything. But it's always good to know about places like that. I noticed that he deals a lot with ebay so he's probably pretty up to date on the market. I just figured the place might be a gold mine if it was some old guy who was just getting rid of stuff to clean up his property.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Andrew...I have not dealt with Dean at all, but as Chad said he has some good stuff and he knows what he has...I've seen him at Autofair w/ buddy buckets, a patina 67, etc all priced appropriately or above appropriate:lol:

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

I see you have made some more headway on your build,looking good.Keep the pictures coming & keep on truckin' :metal::cool:

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane
 

Okay so you guys are gonna hate me but I'm okay with that. I drove all the way home from school last night at midnight after getting off work all day to spend my labor day putting doors and fenders on my baby. They look soooooo sick and they fit perfectly, almost. I am completely happy and excited about this.
Now to the hate part, I took two cell phone pics and they aren't really worth a darn but you can kinda get an idea. So you guys go ahead and post your "This thread is worthless without pics" crap but I promised in previous posts that I was getting fenders and doors from the body shop and I wanted to inform everyone that such an event did occur. Now let your imagination fill in the blanks until I can get better pictures, enjoy and be patient:)
