Re: 72 Cheyenne Super Plain Jane

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. After doing the lower trim only I'm pretty confident that its gonna stay that way. I think upper trim would be pretty cluttered and lower is just right. I ran into a few snags on the truck before I had to head back up to school for the semester. Turns out the booster I ran was bad so I got a replacement mini booster from CPP, I just have to paint it black and bolt it on. Also gotta switch out the sending unit, the float in my old one went bad so I got a new one to replace it. Finally when we were in the final stages of getting the truck on the road we ran into what we thought were some transmission issues. Long story short we pulled the transmission and rebuilt it trying to fix the issue and when we put everything back in the speedo gear got knocked out so I have to go back and fix that. The trans issue ended up being one of the axles was to short and only engaged the first set of spider gears on the posi preventing it from having any moving power. Took us a while to figure it out but we got it haha. I plan on taking the truck to the Goodguys show at the end of October as a final outing before the winter hits and shes stuck in storage. Might have some plans for some winter upgrades but I'll keep that under wraps for now.
