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.

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.

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.
