The A/C evaporation box before my son Clay restored it. He only changed the fan and expansion valve. Then cleaned, polished and clear-coated it. Sent the POA valve to Benny Sanchez in Texas for a R134 calibration.

Greetings neighbor! Great job on your pickup! One of my favorite two tone combos. Love what you did with the engine, looks fantastic.

Re: 72 Cheyenne K10 SWB Numbers Matching
 

Thanks, mine also. I'm a Montana native. Grew up in Hardin and moved to Idaho in 87. Actually have some NOS parts that I think are in Laurel for pickup or to be shipped. A front bumper and inner grille for our other 72.

Frame and drive train marriage. Last picture is son Clay (1) and Grandsons Evyn and Jaxon (3&4). The shop looks like a bomb went off in it.

I put a 2" tuff country lift with 33's on my K10 but after seeing the pic in your avatar I almost wish I went with the 4" like yours, looks great!

Re: 72 Cheyenne K10 SWB Numbers Matching
 

Thought about a 2" or 2 1/2" lift, but couldn't help myself and went for the 4".
Glad I did, it looks even better in person.

Re: 72 Cheyenne K10 SWB Numbers Matching
 

I see in post #11 you mentioned you would use a 4x10 over the 5x7 speaker the next time. What was the reason exactly?

Re: 72 Cheyenne K10 SWB Numbers Matching
 

For A/C equipped pickups the room between the upper center vent and front of dash does not allow room for the 5" width. We hacked the crap out of to fit. It originally had a 4x10 that fit tightly, but fit. I let Retro Sound talk me into the 5x7. My mistake. By the way the stereo system is unbelievable good sounding. With the gas tanks behind the seat, stereo options are limited.

Your build is coming along very nice, great attention to detail!
Wish I had your shop to work in, I'm working in a single stall under my house.... "LOL"

Re: 72 Cheyenne K10 SWB Numbers Matching
 

Sweet truck. Nice work on the restoration.

Re: 72 Cheyenne K10 SWB Numbers Matching
 

Nice work. I like the attention to detail and how you kept it factory looking

Re: 72 Cheyenne K10 SWB Numbers Matching
 

Thank you all,
The whole goal of the project is to build it to original or better standards but also make it my pickup. From the very first vehicle I had to my new pickup that I drive now they have all been customized. Lift the 4x4s and lower the 2WDs and cars.
When this one is done the lift and wheels could be pulled off of it and it would look all original.

Re: 72 Cheyenne K10 SWB Numbers Matching
 

This is beautiful. Love what your doing. Had a 70 no frills this color. Following along.

Re: 72 Cheyenne K10 SWB Numbers Matching
 

Resto looking awesome. Barely getting subscribed before the build is over. Beautiful truck. Nothing better than a heavily optioned K10 SWB in a killer color combo. Can't wait for more pics.

Re: 72 Cheyenne K10 SWB Numbers Matching
 

Thank You, Subscribed to your great build also. My boys and I will be doing all the metal work on a 71 K5 while we are getting the final paint on the K10. The Blazer is the same color as yours (red). Looks like we'll be replacing most of the same metal on it. The owner hasn't decide if he's going LS engine or keeping it original.

Re: 72 Cheyenne K10 SWB Numbers Matching
 

Sounds like another great build thread to me...fingers crossed for OEM...no offense LS lovers.
