Finally Posting Pictures of My Cheyenne Super
I bought this '72 over three years ago to use for remodeling projects, etc... The body was rust free and very straight, so I decided to restore it. It kind of got away from me... The lastest project was the motor; 383 Stroker, over 375HP, it's a monster! I installed the factory tach kit at the same time.

Re: Finally Posting Pictures of My Cheyenne Super
Great looking truck! Your stroker, is it a crate motor or did you build it? That's the plan for mine some day as well. I want the torque!!

Re: Finally Posting Pictures of My Cheyenne Super
Wow! Thanks for all of the positive comments. I've always loved these trucks. I must have looked at twenty 67-72s before I found this one. I really love the blue and white.
I have had several muscle cars through the years, but about 8 years ago I started getting into older BMWs. I currently have a '72 3.0CS that I restored about 3 years ago. This truck is my muscle car. When I get in it, it reminds me of my '68 Camaro RS Convertable I had when I was 16. Wish I still had it! I agree with the comment about the heater box, I need to somehow clean it up this winter. The motor was built locally in Tualatin Oregon, it's an 010 block (4 bolt main w/ high nickel content). He supplied the valve covers, I like the look. I'll have to ask him what brand they are. |
