SWEET.....man this thing is SICK...deff be one of the top daily drivers anywhere !!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

...the Cheyenne badge looks great, more modern piece though!???? The art that went into these pieces makes it half the fun in putting these trucks together. I love other C-10 badges, but not my '65s...follow your vision right!!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Booster is wilwood. Thats right do it your way. It does not matter what others say.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Truck is beautiful. Loving the trim. The stance is perfect!!!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Thanks man this is the truck at ride height. I can get it way up but this is one of the pre sets on the contoller. The truck will sit a little lower air out.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Looking awesome! I may have said this before, but normally I'm a HUGE fan of smoothed/shaved trucks. But this truck is just PERFECT with the trim, the sidemarker and taillight lenses, emblems, and the stance with the rims. Great vision and you pulled it together into a SWEET truck!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Truck looks nice and clean.

I am too I love the shave look but I wanted something a little different this time. I am glad you like the truck. Cant wait to see the truck finished so we can drive it.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

This has become my favorite truck on this site.

I love it!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build

This truck is AWESOME! It is tempting/forcing me to spend a small fortune on Porterbuilt parts and start over from scratch on my truck.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

wow...that looks awesome. Could you do me a favor and measure the distance your hood opens. :metal:

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

I am just floored with how absolutely freaking cool this truck turned out. I cant find ONE thing I dont love about it. Awesome job with everything! (as usual) :metal:

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Thanks guys I am glad you guys like the truck. I am really happy with the way it is turning out. I have been trying to get the motor in now for the last 2 weeks but I have been so buisy I am having a hard time finding the time. Mario got the drive on the motor so I will post the pics right now. I really am glad you guys dig the build. More pics to come as I progress through the build.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

its right now ....now wheres the pics

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Any chance you could do a "costs" breakdown when this project is done?
I know you call this a driver,... but you actually have a very high dollar build here.
(for the average guy)

I love everything you have done.
I wouldn't change any part of it!:metal:

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Not a problem do you want to know total cost to buy and build the truck. Or do you want itemized price of what I paid for everything

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Oohhhhhhhhh thats sexy !!!!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Sorry for not moving fast enough had to see a pt while the pics were down loading also we are painting the power steering pump black.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

LOL....well you are fogiven now !!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Thanks man :lol:

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Total is fine.
If you feel like writing down an itemized list,... that would be great.
I don't think most people realized the amount of money it takes to build one of these "on the ground" beautys.

(plus it will make me feel better about all the money I spend on my "beaters". Ha.)

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

my guess including what ever the original price of the truck is $26,500

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

rims and tires 6000
truck 15000
porterbuilt drop member front and rear with steering and shaft a arms hood hinges 4500
paint inside of cab and motor compartment 1000
engine 3500
Drive and all black parts on engine 3500
torque converter 275
Powder coating 800
Air pod 2000
exhaust 800
trim 1000
interior with ac pods and controller 1500
line-x and bed metal 700
Brakes front and rear with lines and clamps 1500
diff cover 225
misc. 1000
gauges 700
might have missed something not sure but here it is, also I have a ton of parts off this truck I could sell If I wanted.44000 total:uhmk:

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

boy...did i miss that one or what !!!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

as they say in baseball....just a bit outside...

It takes not only talent but $$$ to make a ride like this one!!!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Just think that does not include my labor

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

or any major paint work......

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Just think that does not include my labor

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

My guess,... in my head was around $40k.
(just think if you paid a shop to do all the labor!)

I have recently seen a lot of members swear a truck isn't worth $20k-$30k.
This is a great "reality check" for all the truck builders out there.
Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful truck!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Yup thanks for sharing, looks like I'll be admiring others for a while yet:lol::lol:
...have to do it for the love not the profit, cause there is no profit. Obsessions don't have to make sense, and artists need to express themselves.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Ya I find that funny when I here that. I could have bought the blue and white 72 c10 for sale in the classified section for 30000 grand but then it would not have been mine. So I built it myself even though I new it would cost me more. Also it would be tough to by a 72 turned out laying frame with 22 and good paint for 20-30. I always think if you can do it more power to you. Then I think build it and see if you can do it for 20-30. It just is not going to happen. I have 44000 in mine. I did not pay for the motor or the front drive on the engine because two of my pts are hot rodders. One owns a motor shop and the other owns the hod rod parts shop. I traded dentistry for the motor and the drive. So of my own money I have 35000 or so in the truck. And again mario and I did all the labor. ;)

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

I agree

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Damn, Mario did a super job on that front drive set-up - motor looks killer!!! Looks like he's gonna be handling my body & paint now - after your recommendation & talking to him definitely believe he's the man for the job! Hopefully mine will go into paint & body in June. Keep the pics coming on your truck man, your gathering quite the following!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

I like your truck better than the $30k blue and white '72.
I'll be looking for it on the cover of StreetTrucks magazine, as soon as it see's it's first major truck show!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Thanks for sharing the numbers. I was thinking around $40K but you can add at LEAST $10-20K if you hadn't done the labor yourself. Your ride is top notch. It makes me just a little jealous I can't afford to drop cash on my project.....should have gone to dental college I guess. Hmmm
