The wife isn't going to like this...
I've decided to keep the '71 cheyenne together instead of chopping the frame, pitching the cab/bed and making a Short Step out of the deal.
I've managed to round up enough parts to just build the '72 Short Stepside  . I'll just make the '71 a parts go getter, something I won't be worried about tossing an engine in the back or whatever. Guess I have to change my signature now 3 trucks total coming soon... 72 Cheyenne Super fleetside- just restored 71 Cheyenne fleetside in "ok" shape 72 Cheyenne SWB Stepside   No pics of the 72 swb yet... still in pieces lol |

I'll have to be very creative when I bring up the "costs" issue on that one.

You must learn, she needn't know everything. Sure she can know your replacing the engine, but really, 350, 400, 454, 502, those are just numbers she doens't need to worry about.

It won't be the number of the engine she will be concerned with...it will be the price tag!! I've been working on my wife for that Ram Jet 502 for about 8 months now.....
