Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Read the build thread but did not see the part # you used for the steering column. Does it seem like a nice piece and how did it fit? Any and all info would be great. Thanks Daniel.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
It's an all steel 32 inch idit column. It fit perfect. It is very good quality. Hope that helps

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Ok guys well I wanted to give you guys an update I am in the process of getting the truck ready for goodguys in AZ. I am in the process of getting the wood floors in the bed. I have it all cut and I am going to sand blast it to give it the rough look. Then I wil stain it ebony and gloss clear. should look great. Inner fenders are being built. Mario finished painting the other glove box to match the dash and I changed the steering wheel. I will get you guys pics asap.

Your truck looks great! I'm really interested in seeing how you are going to do the wood floor? Is the plan to elevate the whole thing? Patiently waiting on pics:)

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
I am going to restore the tricycle for the bed of the truck. The wood will look rustic. Let me know what you guys think.
|
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
I think the wood finish will match very good with the black paint on the truck.....
|
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Thanks I am trying to do it different.
|
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Looking good!
|
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
looking KILLER
|
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
IMO I think the wood will look out of place. The rest of the truck is pristine and to put wood in the bed that's rustic looking will clash with the cleanliness of the truck. If the truck was weathered or patina then it would fit the build.

Maybe some Ebony or Red Mahogany stain with about a gallon of automotive clear to make the wood look like glass. And stainless bed strips,... of course. |

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
I like the rustic look, but maybe put a clear over it so that it shines
i really like the way the black highlights the grain and it is different!! I'd say keep it but make it shine like glass Posted via Mobile Device |

Bottom line though. Sandblasted, ebony stained & clear wood on this truck....SWEET! Posted via Mobile Device Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
I agree that the ruff cut might seem out of place. The rest of the truck is top notch the bed wood/finish needs to match.
Again splitting hairs here as the truck is plain sick..... Marc |
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
The issue is the rough bed liner looks better in my opinion with the rough cut. I think the gloss will look out of place but I could be wrong

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
I thought you were going to do both? Rough cut and gloss clear?

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Looking great. I agree leave the Rustic look with lot's of clear. Is that a hiawatha trike. I'm into collecting Prewar bicycles. Check out Thecabe.com when you get to restoring it. Lot's of good info and a parts for sale section
