Survivor Project Truck: 1972 Super Cheyenne 20
Here's my dad's latest project truck its a 1972 Super Cheyenne 3/4 ton was originally a factory big block/turbo 400 truck but in 2001 it had an engine fire and the engine was removed. The truck has been sitting ever since. The SPID says California Emissions so I would guess that is where it was from and someone drove it up here to Alaska in the late 90's (1999?). Anyways its almost totally rust free and the paint is baked off of it from the sun. Has sort of a patina look right now.
![]() The grill started melting from the fire... ![]() Hood is also warped ![]() Trim piece for the door is inside ![]() The rockers where protected with some giant diamond plate running boards that I removed. ![]() Floor board on the drivers side front corner has a small hole ![]() Someone swapped the cluster at some point I think shouldn't it be woodgrain and possibly have a tach in the super cheyenne model? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The dash also got some fire damage ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Plan is to do a complete restoration and place the restored body onto a perfectly sandblasted and painted 4x4 3/4 ton 1972 frame we have already completed with a 700r4 mated to a 205 transfer case since this truck is missing the big block, and transmission and other parts.

Re: Survivor Project Truck: 1972 Super Cheyenne 20
Tach is an option...I do not see it listed on the SPID. It should however have the woodgrain applique over the gauges.

Re: Survivor Project Truck: 1972 Super Cheyenne 20
Very nice!. Even set up for 4x4 with the high hump from the Big block! Would be cool though if you had a 402 to put in it too match the badges and SPID. Love the patina on the SPID by the way since it doesn't interfere with legibility.

Re: Survivor Project Truck: 1972 Super Cheyenne 20
That's a great survivor,especially for Alaska. Good luck with the restoration. It looks like the instrument cluster was changed out to gain a tach which resulted in losing the woodgrain bezel. It's a shame "whoever" didn't just swap the original bezel onto the tach dash. I had a '72 K/20 that I put a SBC 400 in and put the 400 badges on. I thought that was pretty cool. Although that motor was never used,it looked original. And,if you think about it,it's more accurate than if it was original.

Re: Survivor Project Truck: 1972 Super Cheyenne 20
How is this project progressing ?
I found this while looking for information on changing my K20 from a 4 speed to a 700R4. |
