Nicely optioned cheyenne 20 i picked up
Sister In law saw this along side the road for sale and called to let me know. Needless to say, it has a new home. Kind of an odd combination with the BB/4speed, but manual steering. And yes that is a 2bbl carb under there. Seems to run and drive pretty good. It has rust, but not real bad for MN standards. I think the dually will have to go...
Enjoy

Re: Nicely optioned cheyenne 20 i picked up
Very nice truck! Was the rear end swapped onto the original frame or the entire frame swapped out?
I guess he could not find PS brackets for that BB when the original engine was swapped out. Bill

Re: Nicely optioned cheyenne 20 i picked up
MMmm a 556 paint truck with buckets too, very nice.
I'd punt the DRW stuff also ![]() Have the engine stamping number from the front pad? Or the casting code? |

Re: Nicely optioned cheyenne 20 i picked up
L47 on the SPID is 400 big block; at least mine came that way from the factory. As for the two-barrel, are you sure? Mine has a Q-Jet. If it really is a 454, the ID on the engine will be different.
Also, 2-jet Rochesters could be found on big block engines, so if the engine is a 454, it probably came that way, and was installed as a complete assembly. And, yes, that is a nicely optioned truck!

Re: Nicely optioned cheyenne 20 i picked up
I like it as is as an example of how things were done along the way. I would leave it as is till it actually got a proper restoration back to the wonderful truck it was as original. It has it's own appeal now as is. Quite a conversation piece.

Re: Nicely optioned cheyenne 20 i picked up
TKA, 1971-72 Big Block 402. I would guess the carb has been changed which gained nothing.

Re: Nicely optioned cheyenne 20 i picked up
My bad, I have no idea where my thought that it had a 454 came from. Must have been the mushrooms on my salad yesterday.

Re: Nicely optioned cheyenne 20 i picked up
It has manual steering, tilt wheel, am radio and sliding back glass, no a/c, 2 brl big block, CST, Cheyenne trim, camper wiring, tool box. No wheel and tire size listed. Strange combo indeed.

Re: Nicely optioned cheyenne 20 i picked up
Wow, Nice score Eric!
The 2BBL setup is definitely not original to the truck, it was only available in 1969 on full size Chevys as option L66 a 265HP 396. They were a tire smoking torque engine that got decent gas mileage, (I had one in a 69 Impala wagon that actually achieved 16mpg) If you haven't driven it much give it a whirl it might really surprise you. |

Re: Nicely optioned cheyenne 20 i picked up
Were P/B standard or added later? It seems to me that someone messed up when they ordered it without P/S- why pay for all the other goodies, but not get the basics? Nice truck- hope it gets restored

Re: Nicely optioned cheyenne 20 i picked up
I'd remove the DRW and restore that thing to 100% bone stock. It's a very nicely optioned camper rig!
Or keep the DRW and do a sympathetic cleanup on it, but the way it's optioned... tilt, tach, slider, toolbox, the works!

Re: Nicely optioned cheyenne 20 i picked up
If it's a clean DRW conversion, would it have been done by a RV outfitter. I have only seen one truck this body style with fenders like that, and it was probably 30 years ago.
