Re: '72 Cheyenne K10

I like this truck a lot. I think I might sell my C20 and just keep this.

Re: '72 Cheyenne K10

Your C20 is really nice. If it were me, I’d have a tough time resisting the urge to put the best of the c20 ochre sheet metal on the k10 before selling it if you go that route.

Great pics!

Definitely swap your newly painted bed with the sweet toolbox! Again, that’s if it were me. I’d want to drive the K over the C also, it’s just too cool!

Re: '72 Cheyenne K10

I found a matching KM2 tire on eBay, so I picked up another matching wheel for a full size spare that I can rotate in. I also put a fire extinguisher on the transmission tunnel. Both good things to have when four-wheeling in the middle of nowhere.

Re: '72 Cheyenne K10

The winch mounting crossmember is welded together and test fit up inside the frame. I just need to sandblast and paint it. (and get some real bumpers fabricated)

Re: '72 Cheyenne K10

I started making a cardboard bumper mock-up this morning. I have a good idea of what I want, but I am having a hard time finding the right person to fabricate it.

Re: '72 Cheyenne K10

I made a bumper for my truck when I was in high school and it was a lot of welding and grinding to make the joints look nice. I'm guessing you're looking for someone that can achieve the majority of those contours via bending instead of welding and grinding? When I made mine, bending wasn't an option and I wanted to powdercoat it so I couldn't do bondo to make the joints look nice. The steel also had a lot of mill scale so it was far from a perfect bumper, but it was very protective.

Re: '72 Cheyenne K10

The winch is installed. Useless until I get a stronger bumper made with a fairlead.

I made a thread for the winch install here: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=808840

Re: '72 Cheyenne K10

I found a $15 bumper in town, so why wouldn't I cut a hole in it and put it on this truck? At least now I can get a refund for the one I bought with the bad chrome.

Re: '72 Cheyenne K10

I installed the winch rope this morning. It pulled across my neighbor's yard so fast that I had to stop it from rolling. I think it will work great.

Re: '72 Cheyenne K10

Gearing up to hit the trail soon. I picked up some recovery essentials for the toolbox, a tire rapid deflator, and a 12v compressor for airing tires back up.

Re: '72 Cheyenne K10

I also worked on the heavy bumper design a little more today. After playing with the cardboard concept a little more, I used a computer to design a profile drawing. I want to get a couple 8ft x 10in pieces of 3/16" plate bent into this profile with a hydraulic press brake as raw material to give to a fabricator.

I'm in the middle of installing Vintage Air in my 72 C20 right now. Pretty straightforward install so far.
