Here is the truck we will be starting with...
1971 Cheyenne Super SWB truck.
Frame has been blasted and painted although I'm going to re-paint it
Nice trailing arms
Factory sway bar
Headliner/cargo light (Cheyenne options)
The truck has an excellent floor, inner rockers are nice as are the cab mounts. Will need outer rockers.
The roof is a different story...so this one will be getting a chop....
No, we're not chopping the top...but replacing it with a perfect roof that was part of the deal for the truck. It has the headliner and cargo light. The driprails are perfect...they have been blasted and painted with por15 so they are ready for new seam sealer once we swap the cab roof over.
Work is being performed between my garage and a professional body shop right now. Eventually as the business grows plans call for me to build or purchase a large garage/shop but that is down the road...
Here's the pictures of the truck as it sits now....won't look this way for long
Bed, front clip, wheels and tires, and big block are on craigslist already.
We're going with all new bed components for the wood bed instead of tearing apart this very nice metal floor bed... and are using a new 68 rad support, fenders, and a really nice original grill and hood I already have.
