got a kool truck!!!
 well i've had it for a few months but i guess i'll get to it for the summer. the truck is a 1972 chevy cheyenne 93k original miles, 402bb, 4 speed manual with ac, ps, heating, disc, and dual tanks that are all operational. i was thinking patina, new trim, sport rear bumper, low on 22's (something billet), 8 lugs are hard to find, but i'm more into shortbeds so we shall see.

Re: got a kool truck!!!
Good buy.What do you mean by "patina"?I assume that means leave it as it is.Maybe some used mouldings would fit in better with that look.

69face. One thing you can do for a start is to get rid of that back bumper. That thing is L-O-N-G and HUGE!!! Try to find a Fleetside Bumper from Scrap/JunkYard or order one from LMC. That'll shorten things up and give it a better look. But you got a real nice truck that has lots of potential, fo' sure.

Re: got a kool truck!!!
well i get a set of 16" wheels for 50 bucks and sandblasted and painted them. i have to change them because the tires for 16.5" wheels are outrageous. here are pics

Re: got a kool truck!!!
So you know that the 16 and 16 1/2 rims look very similar, the only real difference is in the inside angle,
Nice looking truck to start with Have fun

Re: got a kool truck!!!
got the new wheels and tires on. i have to sandblast and clear the caps and i'll put them on later. i'm pretty satisfied with the fresh paint and better tire.

Re: got a kool truck!!!
Does the center hole fit snug around the hub, or is there a 1/8 inch or more gap?

Re: got a kool truck!!!
Great looking truck. I like the longbed though. It seems it would be a shame to cut such a good truck!
