Re: 72 Cheyenne K10 SWB Numbers Matching

The truck will be updated and driven daily. It will pull the planes out of the hanger every morning.

Updates include powder coated frame and various other body parts.

4" lift with custom built springs from Alcan. The back set have a little over 4" to prevent rear droop. Also moved the center pin back 1" for better rear wheel to fender lip alignment.

Stroked and bored the engine to a 383 ci. Good thing I overhauled the engine, the old steel head gasket were letting water seep into the cylinders from all the sitting around. Used a new stoker crank and rods. Bumped the compression up to 9.2 and install a torquer cam. Also installed Pertonix Igniter II in the distbutor. Building the engines is my favorite part.

Install a tach dash from Tom TBONE1964.

Installed a tilt steering column Kevin Kevs Classics

Retro Sound stereo with blue tooth, Retro sound in dash speaker (they say use the 5x7 for A/C pickups. We did it, but won't again. We'll use the 4x10 next time) Alpine 4" in upper cab corner and 2 Alpine 8" subs with built in amps under the seat.

Running the old 15x10 Mickey Thompson Challenger wheels with the M/T Baja MTZ 33x12.5R15 tires.
