Got me another ONE! Check it out.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SweetandLong68 · 02-02-2005, 10:21 PM

Hey guys,

I can't believe I did it again. I got me another truck. This time a 1972 Cheyenne. Pretty solid truck....LWB of course...It has a mildly built 327 with a turbo 350 and man the thing motivates. It is kinda ugly right now but I think I have a few things up my sleeve to help it out...

What do you guys think...

Many more pics of this truck and my Roller motor that I have just started building....I got the motor out of a 92 Caprice police car and I am building a serious SBC out of it. Hydralic roller cam and all...

But anyways....

I'm trying to see the ugly. You obviously haven't seen mine. I'd take yours in a heartbeat.

SweetandLong68 · 02-02-2005, 10:29 PM

That broken grille is killing me! haha The PO hit a deer like 2 weeks ago and killed the grille...Oh well...Hoping to find another one pretty easily....

Hahha That is exactly what I told him too. He must have just hit it just right or wasnt going too awfully fast.

Of course these trucks are made with REAL metal. Not this popmetal crap that these new cars are made out of...

It did...See the broken grille? hahaha

Another friend of mine hit a deer a while back in his 98 1/2ton chevy and it did some serious damage to it even. Took out the front grille, front fender, hood, bumper, radiator support, radiator, and A/C condensor! I guess I consider myself and this truck lucky? haha
