I'd say it was a great find for the truck to have found you. Hahaha

They say a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.

You must be seriously blind

**special-K** · 02-03-2013, 03:50 PM

It's nice to get a break on fuel driving a shortbed. One like that has more and more appeal as time goes by.

Believe or not, the old owner called me over the weekend and said he has another truck to show me,

a stock black 72' rust free Cheyenne short fleet (non AC

), it's priced kinda high, but will see.

Yes Tim, I drove it all day Saturday and I think the gas gauge is sticking towards the full mark, Yes!!!

shawno72 · 02-04-2013, 02:18 PM

You know what would set this truck off Rene? Some stock steelies with caps

ortegamotor · 02-04-2013, 02:35 PM

Looking good Rene!

Thanks Tony, I have 1 or 2 things left to do before I'm done.

**special-K** · 02-05-2013, 08:47 AM

The best thing to find me are little boxes with goodies. Maybe some day I'll end up with something too big for a box! Speaking of boxes,I just got one yesterday with stuff in it. It was mostly stuff for me to wear,but some stickers for the truck that had C10 on them and a funny shape that reminded me of a bowtie,as best I can describe. What does that stand for? I didn't order the stuff and there was no return address,so I'm stuck with it unless I find Martinez & Sons Super Service in the yellow pages. Maybe they could shed some light

Oh,one more thing...SLOTS on Blue!!!

**CC69Rat** · 02-05-2013, 09:15 AM

Those floor mats are not original either.

Kidding.. Good looking truck man. IMO It needs some 72 buckets and console in it though.

That sounds like a care package from the King himself.

Unfortunately, I'm all out of slots.

You know Chad, I was thinking the same thing in the beginning, I need to take the seats in and have the covers put on and then make the determination.

black_sheep454 · 02-05-2013, 07:31 PM

I think the black buckets would look better in that truck since the rest of the interior panels are black too
