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

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.

Clever license plate! Truck looks great!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Cool! Can't wait to see the wood bed! And expecting an award for this thing at Goodguys :chevy:

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Thanks man I ordered the plated in black should be here before the show in Az

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Maybe we will have to see. You never can tell at shows like these

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

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
 

Well I was going to do that but t I went with doing just the front and the back and left the hump alone. I am going to be putting a piece of sheet metal on the hump that will be custom painted and striped.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Pure eyecandy!! That lic plates fits this build to a "T" very nice!! Cant wait to see the bed & fenders!

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.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

I agree.
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
 

Mmmmm Hmmmm...

Or even

But then again every thing else you have done looks fantastic so I maybe I should just shut up. lol

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

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

I think it will look cool and won't be out of place at all, especially with the gloss clear. That along with the rough liner that is currently sprayed will make it all tie together nicely. I think it would look better if you raised the floor though. Maybe you could make a temp structure to raise the lower pieces up to the height of the hump. It only needs to be framing to hold the wood up and you can use industrial magnets so you can go back if you want to later. Just a thought.

Bottom line though. Sandblasted, ebony stained & clear wood on this truck....SWEET!

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.....

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
