I've decided to keep the '71 cheyenne together instead of chopping the frame, pitching the cab/bed and making a Short Step out of the deal.
I've managed to round up enough parts to just build the '72 Short Stepside

. I'll just make the '71 a parts go getter, something I won't be worried about tossing an engine in the back or whatever. Guess I have to change my signature now

3 trucks total coming soon...
72 Cheyenne Super fleetside- just restored
71 Cheyenne fleetside in "ok" shape
72 Cheyenne SWB Stepside
No pics of the 72 swb yet... still in pieces lol
