Re: '72 Cheyenne K10
I won't have to take my trucks in for inspection. Ever.

Re: '72 Cheyenne K10
Cool truck. Not a good enough reason to live in CA, imo. Besides, if registered as an antique in Texas, there is no safety inspection. Texas safety inspection is actually not a big deal. If you cant pass it, i agree that the vehicle shouldn't be on the road. They only inspect for all lights to work, working wipers, horn decent brakes and tires. No emission testing on vehicles 25 years old and older.

Unfortunately, we fall under the same government that these areas (azz hats), put into office. I keep waiting for Nevada to re-align the State and reach down to pick us up! LOL! Pat |

Re: '72 Cheyenne K10
Amazing truck - it looks good as it is. I like what you've done...
We have a 72 K 4sp and will watch what you do. i'll start a build post one of these days. Curious of the lift removal (i will have mine stock), so wondering about tire size (thinking 31 x 10.5) with stock leaves at both ends. Curious about the internal gas tank and it's future. also, wondering how deep into the bones of the truck to go. I can remove the cab, take all the suspension off, the engine/tranny/diffs... and end up with a bare frame to start upwards. how necessary is this? Also, are you rebuilding diffs, t-case, tranny, or hoping 50 years of age still holds true? Trying not to make a 5 year project, but wanting a solid runner. I see function before fashion. Maybe you too. |

Yes, this thread is a very long read. I started with a truck that needed everything fixed after a decade of sitting. Ochre is definitely my favorite paint color, it suits the era so well. I will watch for your build! Cheers! |
