You have got me wondering what all is going to be changed.......truck damn nearly has all the goodies as of right now.......

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Dang that a sharp truck.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

current state looks like it's finished to me:D.....what in the heck are you gonna do to this thing???

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Wow.. Sweet ride.. Interior is immaculate. Awesome job.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Subscribed... :D

Are the pics above ride height or air'd out?

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Air'd out... I know it doesnt get very low but I actually like the stance for the style of truck it is.

Plus its got 30" diameter tires on it with factory inners & no notch.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

So what's the plans for this already beutiful truck :)

I want to change a few pieces under the hood & add a few pieces under the hood.
I want change the carpet & the gas tank carpet... The floor carpet has a few spots & the gas tank carpet isnt a formed piece like I had on my other 72.
Need to detail paint a few pieces just really detail it out.

So basically just small stuff to really detail it out over the top.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Cant wait to see how you take an already beautiful truck and make it better..

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Perfect IMO. For the quality of this truck and the tires it tucks, looks amazing!

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Should go with faux-tina, steelies and poverty caps - throw in Mexican blanket seat covers and that should about do it. :ito:



:lol:

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

:agree: I mean...i think that'll set this piece off well:lol:

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall

nice

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

You have a beautiful truck! Those little changes shouldn't be bad to do at all! I like the stance and wheel/tire combo it has now.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

The paint is flawless and clean; someone did this truck justice. :)

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Today I did a little trick I've learn to use a Harley part to hide those ugly copper colored temperature sensors on the intake.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

I'm in. Like to see perfection become even more perfect. If that's possible. LOL

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

It's a oil pressure sender cover.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Have you picked a replacement company for the carpet?

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Beautiful truck!!! Love the stance and everything about it.

What was the backspacing that you used on your wheels for the front and back?

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Trim Parts. I used their stuff on my old 72 & was pleased with the fit & quality.


Measuring the backspacing is on my to-do list... I may try to get to that today.... I will post it up as soon as I get it.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Backspacing appears to be 20x8.5 with 4 3/4" BS front & 20x10 with 5" BS in rear.

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Did some detail painting on the rear calipers & rotors today while the wheels where off to measure backspacing...

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

I also tried to come up a replacement for the telescoping antenna...

I got this to work but wasnt sure how I feel about it...

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Great pics!
You need a set of shock relocators on the rear.
Those shocks are really laying down.
I'm sure it would imporve the ride greatly.
(a Super Track Bar from ECE would be nice also)
Beautiful truck!

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Awesome truck!...... and it's got my color on it.

I just received my tires (same as yours...badass!) last Friday along with some Boss 338's that I'm sending back. I'm just gonna bite the bullet now and order the Coy's I should have ordered to begin with and have a question. The front fitment on yours looks great but your rear tire looks awefully close to the bedside, how much room is there between the inside of the rear tire and the bed floor? In other words do you think you'd have been better off with 5.5" backspacing in the rear?

Re: 1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall
 

Yes. If I was to change wheels I would order more backspacing in the rear.
I'd probably go 5.5" in rear.
