Re: Project Checkbook 2: 1971 SWB BB Cheyenne

Here are a few update pictures after having nothing photogenic to report in over a year. The re-assembly process is time consuming and expensive as it seems that none of the takeoff parts being re-assembled actually worked and had to be replaced. I know,

The truck is actually close to completion with just a couple of punch list items remaining. They managed to get the back window installed but the new windshield and trim has defeated three attempts so far. Another glass guy is going to make attempt #4. All of the interior is installed save for a few bits. Road testing to begin soon.

I'm also having stance problems due to replacing the rear leaf springs. The new ones are making the bed sit up too high. I'm either going to have the springs re-arched or they will lose a leaf on each side to see if that improves matters. While I would love to have a 4X4 this truck isn't one.
