Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
That steering wheel is awesome! Care to share details?
|
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
What would you like to know about the steering wheel
|
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
I took the steering wheel completely apart and the looms and had them coated satin black the same as the frame. The battery box will be in the bed next to the tank. Should look cool.
|
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
I was just curious if it was a production piece or if you custom made it (like everything else :metal:) Supplier info, diameter, direct fit or adapter.... etc
|
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
This is a billet specialies classic wheels and the smooth horn button and adapter for a chevy column. I had it powder coated. The wire looms are billet specialties too.
|
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Very nice I have got to order some of that satin powder coat to shoot on my parts...
|
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
For sure this stuff sprays out nice. I really like the way it looks.
|
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
YOur work is outstanding, I have scanned thru all 3 builds today. I will have to subscribe to see what happens with the finished trucks.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Thanks Karl. Here is what I finished last night. I made a cut through for the air lines and the wires and built a box so you would not see any of the wires or air lines from the bed. I welded nuts into the floor so i could mount the air tank to the false floor. I also finished under coating the bed. http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0595-1.jpg

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
looking good , time for some spray in bedliner now , i dont know what brand you like but i sure like the texture that Line-ex has i think it is the most even texture, doesnt look like cottage cheese like some of the others do
|
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
I am going with the line-x it has the best texture, could not agree more. Also not done framing in the bat. Box should have it done tonight

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Looks great bro. I am using an undercoating on the bottom of the bed and the cab. I just want to get the project finished, What was the cost to do the bottom of the cab if you dont mind me asking.
|
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build

|
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
With that level of detail, the engine will be amazing, just like the rest of the truck!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Great looking build so far man!!! Mario at Novelli Rod & Custom told me about it. Been talking to him about some paint & body work on my truck. What are your thoughts on him & his shop anyway? Will keep an eye on you're build to see how it turns out.
