working on the 1971 Cheyenne 1/2 ton
Ya I've been working on my 1971 chevy Cheyenne I'm looking to do the whole front end on it.While i was under the truck I noticed I don't have a factory sway bar.I thought if you bought a Cheyenne you get one with that modal of truck strange.I do have a question.I'm having to remove the Core support and passenger wheel well do to the PO let the old battery sweat or leak out and it ate the battery tray and core support and wheel well.Lucky I found a guy junking out a 1972 3/4 ton with perfect parts.My main question is do i have to take the hood off the truck to get the core support off.Or can i just losen up the fenders and spread them a little and pull the core support out.
I've token Both wheel wells off bumper radiator every thing that needed to come off or disconnected it off so are the core support bolts But looks like i will be buying news ones do to they are a little on the rusty side One other question dose any one make a stainless steel I bolts and the sleeve so i don't have the rust issue even the steel square wash would be nice |

Re: working on the 1971 Cheyenne 1/2 ton
I think you will have to remove the hood. I think you will also have to loosen the rear fender bolts as well. The core support is a tight fit between the front fenders. Also sway bars were optional on any trim level, not trim level specific. Here's a couple of pics of my 72 truck spids, ones a Cheyenne and ones a Custom Deluxe. Joseph
