29/18's Mickey Thompson street radials. Just put on new weld drag lites. The old weld wheels were bent.

What rear suspension are you running? I am hoping to run my trailing arms and bags with at least a 15" wide tire, I cut my bed to the frame trying to get as wide as possible......... thankks for the input!

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

Stock 12 bolt rear , tubbed the fenders ..you have to pull the ebrake cable out of the way and put in a adjustable stablizer bar to keep the bed centered around those big meats. this is another truck I built

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

Yep thats me

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

Hey bobshotrodblazer,

Where did you get that diamond-plate material for the bed on that beauty? Was it "kit" form or just custom-cut/applied? It looks so much sweeter than the stock bed replacement I've been thinking about. :)

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

Here's a 71 GMC I owned about 8 or 9 years ago.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

I like the bed dress up you just gave me an idea for mine I have a friend that owns a metal fab co. he will get me the sheets for cost and just charge for cutting.:metal:

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

I was fortunate enough to have a sheet metal shop in the same warehouse as my project . I measured and made patterns and he broke the diamond plate.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

Couple of pics I took today.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

I am a new member, great site. I have spent about six hours browsing pictures and researching VIN and option codes. I have a 1972 Cheyenne(pictures attached) and have just bought a '72 Blazer. The previous owner of the Cheyenne replaced the bumpers, mirrors, a few emblems and the headliner. I replaced the instrument bezel and put the matching woodgrain decals on the glove box door and ashtray. I know these are not original to the non-super Cheyenne, but I like the look. The truck was repainted and the seat was recovered sometime in the '80s. I think the bed rails were added as well. The truck is air conditioned and has been converted to the newer refrigerant. I am interested in buying new reproductions of the original full wheel covers, could someone suggest a source?

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

Welcome to the board! That is a very nice looking truck, very nice. As far as the wheel covers go you will have find some clean used or NOS, as they are not being reproduced.

Down South Truckin - What kind of rims are those on your blue 72 cheyenne, i can tell if its a custom or a cheyenne, but anyway what kind of rims are those brand, size. Thanks Hunter!

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

Bob could you tell us what thickness plate you used and how it's fixed to the bed?...this has got me thinking too, a few xtra pics of the bed would be cool if possible...

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

I'm guessing you are referring to the pics on pg. 1 which was in 2006. We are now on pg. 181 so you may want to PM Down South Truckin in case he does not follow this thread anymore.;) BTW....:welcome2: to the board from SC.

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

JeffD, that's a good looking truck. Reminds me of the one I had -- 72 Cheyenne lwb, 402 and A/C, black on black from the factory. Yours is a lot cleaner, though.

I think your truck looks TOOUUGH!

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

The floorand head board are 1/8" held in place by the stock holes around the edges but I replaced all the carriage bolts with polished stainless bolts . I polished each one because they didn't carry polished carriage bolts.
The sides and tailgate are 1/16" held in place with tiny SS sheet metal screws

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

Bob, what air conditioning system did you use? also looks like your firewall has some sort of adapter for the hose/line installation to cover the existing holes in the firewall. most I see are flat and have had filler panels welded in and smoothed.
Lance

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

the whole firewall was recovered in a new piece of sheetmetal
it's vintage air ,those bulk head fittings used to come with the kit this is an older build

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

check it

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

Beautiful...more pics please!

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

Does this Diamond Plate go right over the old floor? Is it one piece?

Re: How about some pics of 67-72 Trucks
 

Heres my baby. I'm 16 and this is my first car. Me and my dad found it with a blown motor for real cheap and couldn't resist. We bought it and swapped the blown motor with a stock 350. Original Arizona truck but the previous owner before me drove down to Boise, Idaho to pick it up and brought it back to Winnipeg. Just waiting for the snow to melt before i can drive it again!
