has your cab been repainted?

**Ron 586** · 01-11-2007, 08:33 AM

That is just one of the joys of ownership..

Ehhh, don't sweat it.
Mine had one in it. And when I had my truck painted - the gooftards ripped it out and threw it in the trash.
This was before digital camera's, so I only had it captured on a disposable film camera that was shooting the entire resto. The idiots also lost that.
So, I DID have one, and lost it. That's a gut wrenching feeling.

Hey if still has the original seat the build sheet could still be tucked up in the springs , my last 2 were . The 72 Cheyenne's sheet came out in one piece , the 70 snb came out in a million pieces . Just a thought .
