What tranny you gonna run??...I posted a thread awhile back on the difference between TH350 vs TH400 shift linkage....didn't really get an answer, so not sure if it makes a difference:D

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Thanks Geoff. I got the part where it connects to the trans but the part where the arm connects to the steering shaft confuses me. It looks like the end of the rod is broken off and Idk if it came like that or if mine is broken.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Tiny bit of progress, got some parts from Summit and threw them on the truck. Also repainted the sun visors and headliner.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Also got a wire gutter and a new gas pedal from the truck shop

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Here are the pictures of the dent we fixed in the tailgate. I know its not perfect but it's a ton better

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Last few for the picture junkies. Also the last picture is the steering column end of my shift linkage. Is this right? It looks broken to me. ADVICE NEEDED

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project

Couple more

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Andrew, did you figure your shift rod issue out? I know some of the ones I've had looked odd where they were cut at the factory. Almost looks like they forced a shear to cut them fast or some thing.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Still haven't figured it out.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Looking real clean! Are you going to sleeve the rest of your coolant/ heater hoses to match the vacuum and upper radiator hose?

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Coming right along there Andrew....I can get ya a picture of my shift rod tonight buddy....might want to put some protection around that fuel line coming out of the filter to the pump just incase it rubs the frame...also, did ya think about painting that fuel line up to the carb to hide it??

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

I don't think so. That hose I used for the vacuum line and upper rad hose is really expensive. My dad had those pieces laying around his shop so he let me use them. The heater hose is gonna stay the original rubber for now.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Thanks Geoff, I would really appreciate those pictures if you can get me some. I already know how the trans end goes together, I just can't figure out the end that connects to the steering column. The fuel line before the filter is lacking a clamp about two feet down the frame rail because I didn't have a 90 drill that would fit in there. So once I get that clip on it should pull that line closer to the frame rail and it won't move. Also I might redo that fuel line to the carb with stainless. I don't really like how this one turned out so I'll probably be doing another one.

Thanks for the compliments guys, I landed a really good job with a race team this summer so I'm hoping to have it finished by my sister's wedding in August. I finish exams May 10th so I'll be home for the summer after that. Stay tuned

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Good luck with youe exams Andrew! And congrats on the new job for the summer!

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Thanks Ryan, I'm really looking forward to the job. I'm back at school now, time to be studious and keep working on my truck in my head:lol:

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Props to ya for being able to go to school and leave your project at home! I cant wait to hit the shop for a little bit after class each day during the week!

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

I wish I had that luxury. I have to wait for holidays, haha. I'm going to be stuck in the garage this summer tho

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Geoff, did you get around to taking those pictures for me?

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
 

Nice progress! Can't wait till I'm that far along. Keep it up.
