Project Gibson: 72 Cheyenne Super 4x4 3/4 ton factory build
4 Attachment(s)
This is a truck I am building for a family with a 16 year old. Great family friends that asked me if I was interested in building a truck with their son. Well, it has taken some time to gather parts, but the build has begun.
We are going with a factory height, frame off restoration that we are trying to keep as original as possible. I bought this stalled project from another board member. Unfortunately, not all the parts agreed upon during the purchase never made it and mysteriously disappeared....several uncomfortable discussions delivered some parts, but some never materialized...

We are using this pretty solid cab. To be safe, we cut the factory outer rockers off. Not too bad. No floor or kick panel work, but a little in the A pillar work.

Attached most of the motor brackets and painted it. TRL coded k20 motor bored 30over, RV cam and all new valves, pistons etc. balanced. Motor, trans, carb, transfer case, front end and steering box all dated November 1971.

Had a couple good weekend days where the engine, trans and transfer case is in. Brakeline clips were refinished along with the black phosphate on the bolts.
Brake and fuel lines purchased from the Right Stuff Detailing and the stainless ebrake cables from Inline tube. The front cable is original with the hole in the end of the adjustment/threaded end. So far all is matching up. I had a terrible time on my last build with the Inline tube front cable pulling out of the ebrake pedal mount. The diameter was smaller than the original so I ended up using a really good used one. Attachment 1281119 Attachment 1281120 Attachment 1281121 Attachment 1281122 Attachment 1281123 |
