Re: 1972 Cheyenne c10 build

I bought this truck august 2013 in Savannah GA on craigslist. It is a 1972 cheyenne 10 shortbed with a 402 and TH400. SPID shows the truck was factory red/white with black interior.
The truck has good options, deluxe interior, tachometer, gauges, AC, belt moldings, headliner, cargo light, PB and PS and tilt wheel!
The truck is solid but the passenger side lower fender and rocker were damaged from something in the road kicked up and dented it. I stripped the truck and had the paint shop do all the work professionally. The motor was torn down and rebuilt with a new cam etc.
I lowered the suspension and used 20 Ridler wheels. I still have to put it back together and install new factory wiring, all glass, interior. I have boxes of parts and replaced everything with all new stuff!
Can't wait to take it down the road!

Very nice job and definitely a truck worthy of a restoration.
