Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
 

It's been a while since I've posted. We moved into a new house with a 4+ garage so no more storage unit issues for me! In addition to the vintage air this year, I was able to get new carpet installed. Feels much much cleaner now and smells a lot better too. Separately just had my shop do a little work to help with a weird hot weather hesitation, and when I went to pick it up they had it parked next to their newest build - 69 K20 big block currently listed on eBay. Incredible build.

Updated engine bay after AC and some fuel upgrades and carb spacer.

Engine looks great,... but if that's a glass fuel filter I would take that off right now.
Those things are fire traps.

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
 

Hmm. I believe it is. My shop installed it. I’ll ask them about it.

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
 

Ordered up an all metal filter. My shop did say that they’ll put those on initially when using an old gas tank.

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
 

Good idea.
I like putting the fuel filter between the tank and the fuel pump. Then run a nice clean hose or steel line up to the carb. Harder to change? Yes. But looks cleaner under the hood.

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
 

I think that’s how it used to be looking back at older pictures. The recent changes were to help diagnose some high temperature throttle hesitation.

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
 

Wow, complete custom! One thing is bothering me. No pics of the factory headliner. This site really likes pictures and I happen to love the Cheyenne and Supers because of the headliner.

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
 

Had the truck in the shop several weeks ago. Got the filter swapped out and all the suspension retorqued. Left and the engine would randomly shut off. Replaced ignition, module, and distributor and it's running better than ever! I'm guessing that was the issue all along and not a fuel issue. I've been able to run in 90 degree temps with the AC blasting and I'm only hitting 195 degrees.

Calling me out! Ha. Just took this pic for you.

Love this truck!

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
 

Wow! Amazing truck. Good job man!

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
 

Do you have a paint colour for this truck? It is very nice!

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
 

Sorry, just seeing this! SPID is in the first post of this thread with code 1483. That should mean 516 orange. I’ve seen this as Tangier or Omaha Orange. I prefer it to the hugger orange.

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
 

Awesome thanks! I agree, Hugger Orange is a bit more on the red side.

Re: 71 Cheyenne Longbed Build
 

Random question, does anyone know what those numbers on the firewall mean? In particular the "CE10934"? I have the same numbers on my firewall!

Re: 71 Cheyenne Longbed Build
 

I stole this explanation from somewhere. Probably this site.

I had no idea, that's quite interesting! Thanks for sharing. Now just need to decipher the others!

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
 

Bumping my thread here for Truck of the Month. Vote for this truck! Thanks!

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
 

My truck got a new lift yesterday! I'm mostly excited to just get it up and away from door dings, kid bikes, and basketballs!

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
 

Congrats man! I love this truck, the orange and white combo is just damn sexy!

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
 

That is a sweet truck.

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
 

I haven't updated much recently. Finally decided to have someone take a look at my brakes and he suggested hydroboost. Absolutely amazing. An extreme difference is an understatement! Really transformed the truck. Also, I was running a 3200-3500 stall before. Dropped in a Hughes 2500. Much better for the street and the truck seems to put down the power even more. Lastly, I've been having some tire rub with the trailing arms/panhard bar when turning left. Put in some longer studs and spacers. Truck can really rip now!
