Nice truck..hope to see it around tulsa.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Thanks for measuring! I noticed that you stated that if you orderd your wheels again, you would opt for more backspacing. Do you have any rubbing issues right now? If your rear tucked a bit would they rub or have any issues you think?

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

I dont have any rubbing issues but the truck bottoms out before they can rub when aired out.
I think if I went lower I would run into some rubbing issues.

I have thought that an ECE super trac bar might help a little because the rear end does shift to the drivers side when air out making it closer on that side and their trac bar is supposed to help with this issue.

Very sharp truck JWall!! Carpet? in the pics it looks good. Is it worn/stained or are you changing color?:chevy:

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Just got a few spots & the gas tank carpet doesnt fit as good as the ones i've installed before.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Do you have any details on the engine and transmission? How's the clearance between the brake booster and the valve cover? Did the steering shaft have to be altered at all?

I'm going to put a big block in my 72 Blazer and I would like to not fight it anymore than necessary.

That's a VERY clean and nice looking truck!

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

The clearance between the booster and valve is just fine... (the pic below is about the best shot I have of it even though its not the best)

The steering shaft appears to be all stock to best of my knowledge.

As far as engine details here is what I have without digging thru the receipts & info folder I got...Anything specific you are looking for?
As far as internals I'd have to look thru that folder.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

looks beautiful !!

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

AWESOME!!!! I'm gonna start my frame off on my '69 in a couple of months & I'm thinkin about goin with base/clear. Has your paint been cut & buffed? Also, what color & brand did you paint your booster & m/c with? Man, you have a BEAUTIFUL truck!!

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Yes the truck has been cut & buffed after paint.


The brake booster has not been painted that is the color & finish it came but the master cylinder I painted with Dupli-Color Cast Coat Iron Engine Paint.
I have used it in the past with good results.... but I really havent had brake fluid make direct contact with the paint to see its reaction.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Really nice truck.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

A few more motor questions. Did you say what transmission you are using? Also, did you use the factory big block motor mounts?

Thanks again.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

It's a Turbo 400.

The motor mounts appear to be an aftermarket mount. I havent been able to locate what kind they are. I will try to take a picture soon & see if anyone recognizes them.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

How do you like the TH400? That's the route I'm considering too. I want an OD but, realistically, this won't be a highway vehicle so I don't know how much of a difference it will make.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Since I just got it, I dont have a lot of miles on it other than about the 2 hour drive home and a few around town but it seems to be ok. (and didnt do too bad on gas either)

But overdrive is always nice.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

What a gorgeous ride. I had a black 72 Cheyenne longbed for a minute a few years back. Paint wasn't nearly that nice, though! I don't know if you've ordered the carpet kit yet, but have you thought about black carpet, to break up the red a little? Can't go wrong either way; it's beautiful inside and out.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

This truck is hot! It'll be a challenge to upgrade cuz it's so nice already. Though now that you've mentioned that, I've got an upgrade...LSX454 backed by a 4L80e. Just stirrin' the pot. :D

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

wow love the color combo, u have one sweet ride :metal:

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

dang justin, u change cars faster than i change underware. very nice truck man. glad to see you back in a truck even tho the roadster was super nice. did you trade or just sell and buy this? i deffinitely want to see this one before you get rid of it.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Thanks...I sold the 32 & bought this one.

This one will stick around for a while unless I get the right offer.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

They are the tubular mounts like the link below.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Thanks for all the great pics - you have an awesome truck. Nice 'resto-mod' you took all the best stuff from a stock '72 and put some really nice custom touches in there.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Truck looks terrific justin......

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Thanks guys... I'm happy with the truck.

The small changes I wanted to make to the truck are really turning out well.

It's turning into the 72 I've always invisioned.
