Project: Wiggles - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72mistressc10 · 08-18-2009, 01:59 PM

Well This being my first post and all, just would like to say Hello!!! Now what we have is a 72' Chevrolet Cheyenne Super. I know a lot of people out there would like me to restore it to original but 'my plans' are to do a classic resto with a little modern twist.

Will update with pics later on tonight. Budget of course is no as high as I would like it but it will have to do. This is probably gonna be a 5-6 Year build unless things change and I can speed up the process with your guys help.

72BlckButy · 08-18-2009, 02:20 PM

to the board from Mid-MO!!!

Can't wait to see some pics of your project.

welcome from a fellow arizonan.....

72mistressc10 · 08-18-2009, 03:49 PM

Thanks!!! Hopefully we can meet up soon. Here are just a few shots of the truck from my phone. that I took about a week ago. The p/o had a $100 paint job done to the truck so yea.

72mistressc10 · 08-18-2009, 04:33 PM

More pics of the front and back, truck is straight camera is just on a lean! lol

72mistressc10 · 08-24-2009, 01:05 PM

So just for an update on some decisions I have made.

4.5/4 drop. I saw a 72 c-10 Cheyenne on here with that drop and it looked awesome.
Either Foose Nitrous or Boss 338 set up. Black with Chrome Lip.
Shaved Door Handles.
Cadillac Tail lights.

Engine:
383 4 bolt main
TH350 built
Changing rear diff from 3.07 single leg to 3.73 posi.

I haven't decided on a color yet but I am leaning towards orange with a pearl, just don't know what 'shade' yet. Any insight or suggestions would be cool.

72mistressc10 · 08-26-2009, 01:05 PM

Decided on a paint color. 418P Atomic Orange with metallic.

72mistressc10 · 08-28-2009, 05:40 PM

Ok guys I posted this in the engine/drivetrain thread as well.

Since my long bed has a 2 piece driveline, with the shortening of distance between the 700r4 to the rear casing than the th350, will I be able to run a 1 piece driveline?

72mistressc10 · 09-10-2009, 10:59 AM

Hey everyone been a while since i Have posted for my project. Finally got around to starting on my shave job. So far just the drip rail and the door handles with the fillers, no smoothing out yet, should be done by next week with the caddy lights as well. I will post some pics of the tail lights this weekend. Little by little each day. Here are some pics.

72mistressc10 · 09-15-2009, 12:31 PM

Some more updates from the weekend. A few of the driver side shaved door handle, one of the passenger side drip rail and then the passenger side shaved handle.
