Another one leaves the shop

[Livrat]

Finally after 5 long months, many "change work orders" and owner indecisions this highly optioned, low mile (55k) 72 Cheyenne Super is back in his hands and out of my hair Woo Hoo!! (this build almost burned me out on building anything for someone else)
It showed up back in Feb bruized and battered after being put on its top. (the owner would not share the story) It had been in "paint prison" for 2 years to replace the roof, paint just the cab and bolt the truck back together.
Upon arrival here the only parts that were undamaged were the cab, hood,tailgate, bed floor and front panel.
Both doors had the mirrors tore off, both front fenders were bent in.. the passenger bed side was toast, the drivers side was crushed in but fixable.
I started digging and came up with a set of pristine OEM fenders, NOS grill and bumper, NOS drivers door, located a complete bed with an Aux fuel tank and side tool box and set out to make it pretty once again.
Halfway through the owner decides he wanted more fuel capacity so a Blazer rear tank was added, he also did not like the factory Aux fuel tank filler neck sticking out of the bed side so he asks me to add "square" filler doors.
Next he decides that he did not like the 450hp aluminum headed, roller cammed 383 stroker that was in it.. so he brings me a 68 Aniversary truck rust bucket with a rebuilt 396 in it and says put this in. Uh .. ok.. Had to recalculate the bid again!!..
Oh well I now have a nice 383 stroker to put into something and a bunch of goodies of the 68 parts truck.
