I replaced the Billet Specialties stuff with stuff with more of a stock look.
I think it blends better since my interior is mainly stock.

Bravo! Looks great!

Perfect! How's the quality on the wheel? Where'd you get it? What do you do with your belt buckles (no console slots)?

The wheel is nice quality. I got it off of eBay from seller sonnie24.

I usually just tuck the seat belts back behind the seat til just the buckle shows.

The Comfort Grip really added a lot to it IMO. I liked the Billet wheel too, but there's just something about a nice CG wheel.

I can get these steering wheels fellas, .. or put you in touch with someone who will give you a deal on one. Repop, yes .. but it is the nicest quality I have ever seen.

Thanks! It's looking like I made the right decision according to you guys!



Side Note: The window handles are mounted at the same point. In the pictures one was with the window down & one was with the window up... the pictures bug me so you can imagine how bad it'd bug me if they were off for real.

The steering wheel looks great! Was looking at changing mine out one time, but kept the original wheel.

Beautiful truck! Love these shortbeds! Where did you get your carpet for the floor and gas tank? It looks great! Thinking about replacing mine. Thanks

JWall 12-27-2012 03:24 PM

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 
The carpet, gas tank carpet, floormats & kick panels are from Trim Parts.

This the second 72 I've used their stuff in & I have been pleased both times.

Thanks for the compliment.

Keep it in mind in the future though!

I upgraded my taillights to LED's over the holiday also.

There is A LOT of difference in the brightness.

Pics arent the greatest because it was too cold to get out of the garage...

he man! they look superbright. I wanna know: hows the difference between normal tail light and brake or turn signal?

my experience with LED in taillights so far is that there is allmost no difference in brightness.

hows yours?

JWall 01-02-2013 01:43 PM

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 
There is a noticable difference in the taillights & brake lights.

I will try to get a picture of the difference soon.

Sweet ! I asked for a 20x20 spot but i didnt get any response from them so i guess i wont be getting that...oh well same me the money and time of making a display !

JWall 01-02-2013 05:30 PM

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 
You may still get it... when you receive your acceptance letter it will tell you if you got a 20x20 or not. It still may be a while before you receive your letter back from them.

They are flashing a little slow... But I have not upgraded to an electronic flasher yet.



kikkegek 01-06-2013 05:15 PM

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 
thanks man! Video looks great. funny though, because normally without an electronic flasher they should flash superfast, because there is no more "load", because of the low wattage.

where did you get these? They have a great difference in brightness between functions...
