Got my Cheyenne Home!

[duckdude]

A little history behind the search for this truck. About 5 weeks ago I found a 69 on craigslist about 79 miles se of Nashville. Guy said it was all original. Wife and I left the house at 3am on a Saturday morning. 10 hours later arrived at the guy's place, truck was not as advertised. Had to walk away... Drove back to St. Louis area driving a total of 1300 miles Saturday pulling a trailer and dishearted. Spent the night in St. Louis. We got up the next morning. I told my wife my second choice was in Lenexa Kansas. Drove to Lenexa. Purchased the 72 Cheyenne that had a blown motor and not even sure the transmission was any good. Pulled the truck home for a total of 1504 miles for the weekend. Pulled the blown motor and I had a 350 that I pulled from my 69. Went ahead and replaced all the gaskets and gave it new paint. Changed out pulleys, put on a new water pump. Installed the engine and got in fired up tonight! Engine sounds great, transmission goes in all gears. IM A HAPPY CAMPER!!!!!!! The truck does have AC and the heater core is leaking like a sieve. The gas tank needs replaced as it is full of crud, but I see an end in sight and ready to get this baby rollin! Any tips from you guys on here or the easiest way to get to heater core and replace it??
