Super Cheyenne aka the "Devil Cowboy"
This is going to be a build thread of a 1972 Super Cheyenne K20 that will be a driver truck for a close friend "Best View" here on the forum. This truck is a 558 paint code which is 510 medium blue body and 523 dark blue roof. This truck has cab lights and a few other options that make for a nice truck. It will also get a few options added along the way and a few personal touches to make it a nice going-to-town truck.
This truck came out of Oregon and was purchased a few years ago by Best View. Before shipping to my place, the truck had a large set of tires removed and the lift kit was also uninstalled and replaced with stock front springs. When it showed up at my place it was packed with several boxes of parts to go back onto the truck. The transmission and transfer case was also in the bed of the truck and the motor had a temporary piece of angle iron bolted to the flywheel to support the motor across the frame. The truck was still pretty high off the ground compared to a stock K20, after further poking around I found that the truck had a body lift installed. So I thought the next step in the project would be to make an inventory of all the parts and make a project list of items to repair, fix or replace.
