71 Cheyenne Project

[ToonMan]

Years ago I operated Rob's Rod Shop and worked on old cars and trucks for people. Mostly body and paint, but some mechanical things as well. After 12 years I closed the doors and switched my focus to my Automotive Cartoons.

This Summer I reopened Rob's Rod Shop, but with a different mission. I now restore Coke Machines, Gas Pumps and other rusty stuff like that, as well as doing my art.

My Brother in law heard "Shop" and "open" and now I have his 400 HP 383 powered 71 Chevy Cheyenne here. Deep down it is a really good truck, but has been sitting and really needs some attention.

I spent yesterday cleaning it up and getting it to run right again. The only problem I am having is everytime I put the TH350 in gear the truck dies. I worked on it and just couldn't figure it out. So, I am open to suggestions.

This week the 71 starts body work and to get it primer. I just have to rescue this truck!!!
