Re: "Sweet Pea" 1975 Cheyenne 20
I'd say rattle can those wheels and put them on. You'll be into it a couple of cans of paint which is no big loss if you decide to PC them later if you find a better price. Era correct plates are cool.

Re: "Sweet Pea" 1975 Cheyenne 20
So after being quoted $125 a wheel to powder coat these steelies white I did some more research and found that Les Schwab Tire Center will sandblast and PC your wheels for $40 a pop. Sounded too good to be true... but its legit. Their color selection is minimal, but I wanted white so no biggie. Dropped em off and got a call 3 days later. Boom.
Look great from a few feet out... ![]() Buttttttttttttt... get up close and you can see all the little bubbles along the edge ![]() ![]() ![]() Ugh. It sucks... I did some more searching and found a few other reports of that happening, not just with Les Schwab, but higher dollar PC places too. One person suggested a little bead of silicone caulking in there to seal over the bubbles... Might give that a go... Oh well... you get what you pay for i guess. From a few feet out you cant tell.

Re: "Sweet Pea" 1975 Cheyenne 20
Maybe it's been mentioned, but it looks like there is media blast material stuck in the seam? I wanted to get a set of rallies blasted and PC'd here in town and the company didn't want to do it because of that exact problem; getting that two-piece seam cleaned before powder coating???
Truck looks terribly awesome!! Very Nice.

Re: "Sweet Pea" 1975 Cheyenne 20
Added new weather stripping today around the cab. Did the upper door seal as well as the complete cab weatherstrip kit from Brothers.
![]() Comparison of the old to the new. ![]() Used Permatex super weatherstrip adhesive for the upper cab stripping. It all went on pretty easily, only had to remove a few pieces of the trim to fit the weather strip in, but overall it was about a 1 hour install. The only downfall now is that the cab is sealed so well that you really have to slam the crap out of the doors to get them shut.

Re: "Sweet Pea" 1975 Cheyenne 20
Also, got some fabric samples from SMS Fabrics, looking to have a fresh seat cover made... thinking plaid inserts and green vinyl surround, like a play on the Highlander seats...
Which one goes best with the truck? ![]() ![]()

Re: "Sweet Pea" 1975 Cheyenne 20
Not saying you're wrong so please don't take it that way.
Don't you think that one wi be kind of busy? Think of it as a large swatch of fabric, like 6' x 5'. I think that one with the small checks will be a bit much. I really don't like any of them. I like what he has on it now.

I like this. But if I were to choose a plaid, maybe the top left.
