I have been lurking around for a year and I just wanted to thank all of the folx that post on the forum - I found answers for all of the questions I had in the rebuilding process of the truck. Still have some cosmetics things to do and then it will be finished - well maybe it will be finished....

Thanks for all the help

it is bagged now.. that pic was with the coils taken out in the front and the 4link sitting on the frame.. since then the bed floor is cut, its notched and i still have to do some work to get the front to lay but its comin along... i used ridetech.coms bolt on kit for the most part. i have to take out my front inner fenders and make some new ones but after that it should lay out... glad you like it.. i do... ill have some pics up when its done but untill then its hidding

Got some tires slapped on her, and put on some chicken lights and changed out the whips from white to black.

My plans are to put a few more lights on the tool box, then I'll be saving up for a engine rebuild.

jrsmith_2010 · 12-25-2008, 07:50 PM

lookin good

like to have that sittin in my driveway

*78 Chevyrado* · 12-25-2008, 09:52 PM

I think my favorite two-tone has to be blue and white.

Jvsapp · 12-26-2008, 02:22 PM

i have to agree. but my neighbor had a nice orange and cream 76. that was nice too.

heavychevy79 · 12-30-2008, 04:13 AM

Hi. I really love these trucks so I could find no reason not to join.
I grew up in my Dad's 73 Cheyenne Super and Mom's 84 Burb, and have been buying/selling and wrenching on them ever since.

You guys have some nice trucks!
I guess I'm one of the few who prefer long beds over short.

Here is my baby, a 77 with a 55 bed and some other kustom stuff.
It has shackels and I moved the hangers on the rear, I should have done a
4 link for air ride, or at least a flip kit.
Front is 2" DJM drop spings that ride much better than the Big 10 springs, and
DJM 3" drop spindles that I don't like because I had to grind them to make
rally wheels fit, and now I scrape the ground with the headers and
crossmember more than I can stand.

I'll post some more long bed pics, most of my buddies have one, and there is
at least 10 of them (not including mine) in my neighborhood, and
I'm trying to get un-molested Cheyenne Super or Silverado to restore,
because only the frame and cab on my 77 is original.

Nate.
