Pics for Sid 138
Here are some pics of my '72 Cheyenne, was 6 cyl/4 spd, was V8/TH350 when I got it around '97 not much left original as I have added some things, tach was installed before I got it, I added the tilt, '65 Vette wheel, the CST [buddy] buckets, pwr windows and lowered . The slots have been on this truck since at least mid 70's.

Re: Pics for Sid 138
Thanks guys, this is exactly the truck I've wanted since I was a little kid. Been a reliable daily driver since the day I got it, I just love driving old trucks.

Re: Pics for Sid 138
Yeah, there is something about driving these trucks...I've gotten more 'thumbs up' with this truck! And I'm sure you know the feeling!

Re: Pics for Sid 138
Love your truck Chris, let's see them door panels. Did you put them on this truck?
Daily thumbs up, the other day a guy was taking pictures of my truck as I was hauling a couple pallets of wheels to the polisher. |

Re: Pics for Sid 138
Oh, hey...thanks!
Yeah, they are on there...I need to find some better armrests yet...but the door panels are on and they look great. Just have to put a new seat cover on (parchment/green), lokar floor shifter, impala steering wheel....all kinds of cool stuff coming. And again...your truck looks awesome. I love the shortsteps!

Re: Pics for Sid 138

Re: Pics for Sid 138
Thanks for the compliments, the drop is 2.5" drop spindles with 1" out of the spring in the front, in the rear I cheated and heated the springs. Tires are 255/60-15 frt, 275/60-15 rr, I added a swaybar from a 3/4 ton in the front and it handles pretty good.

And did you by chance measure the distance of space between the rear tires and fenders before and after? I'm guessing around 4 or 5" drop in the rear?
