Little update, found a sweet deal on the local craigslist. Possibly a donor truck? Possibly a daily driver? I am dying to drive one of these things so I might just slam it and drive it but here it is. 71 Cheyenne, second owner, 350 small block, ac cab, kinda plain as far as tilt, tach, and buckets go. Going to check it out friday, hopefully driving it home. Guy says the body is solid (cab corners and rockers) only issue is the tailgate has a dent in it. It kinda looks like the bed is a different color but idk. Still looks like a great deal to me:)

Got some more parts in the mail for my build. Stupid Truck Shop out of CA sent me the wrong grill. Other then that, I am happy with all of the parts.

Quick question, does anyone know what this fits? I found it at my grandpas wrecking yard and I wasn't sure if it was for like a dump truck or something different. I figured there may be a sun visor expert out there somewhere
|
Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
The sunvisor looks like the ones I have including the engine starting instructions...
That grille is worth a couple hundred more than a basic aluminum outer grille....I personally like the chrome oute....but take the billet inner out and sell it and put a factory inner in it. Then the grille can match the bumper :D |
Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
so I guess you didn't get that other truck?

Ok so I know I keep saying the frame is gonna go to the powder coat but today we had the trailer loaded up and ready to go drop it off but my dad's truck broke down about two minutes down the road:cuss:
So we had to drive back to the shop and drop off the trailer and the truck is at the dealer getting fixed. So I have no clue when the frame is going to be done. Here are some pictures of my dad's projects and my welding skills in progress. 1968 z28 camaro (bought before I was born), 69 z28 rs (my dad's baby), 70 z28 rs (grandparents bought new), and awesome bead on my frame :lol: |
Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
Haven't been on here in a while but I have been working on the truck a little. Here is an update of my progress. I finally got the frame, inner fenders, and core support back from the powder coater. I am super pleased with the way everything turned out. One of the rods for my lowers was bad so I had to get a new one and I have to run it back up to the coater along with some other small stuff before I can put the front suspension back together. I got my crossmember bolted in, new truck arms bolted it, mocked up the new rearend housing, and I am working on making new brackets for the bags in the back. The bed is at the body shop and they are doing all of the body work and putting it in primer for me. I went over there and grinded on some mud today. The bed should be done by the end of the month, then I am gonna give them the cab. I have a picture of the frame on my phone so it isn't very high quality but I will get some pictures here shortly. :metal:

A few more pictures of the powdercoat, the mock rear end, new truck arms, and my dash bezel that I finally put on the cluster. I put the old bezel in the truck for a little motivation :)

And finally, today I worked on mounting the rear bags. The original mounting system was two steps that added about four inches to the bag. So I drilled a hole in the bottom plate, ran a tap through it, and the hole bag screws directly onto the mount on the truck arm. Then the top will bolt directly to the bottom of the frame rail. Pretty pleased with how it turned out. I should have pictures of the finished product in the next day or so.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
