Re: Starting my 1971 Super Cheyenne Build
I like this shot…shows how you cut it different on the inside and the outside…that should give you a better seam on the front and easier to bondo. Am I right.?

Re: Starting my 1971 Super Cheyenne Build
It makes the body work a lot easier. Plus you don't have to worrying about warping has much

Re: Starting my 1971 Super Cheyenne Build
Ive been busy with the truck. Almost ready for paint. I built a paint booth to help keep the dust down and keep the heat in during the winter.

Re: Starting my 1971 Super Cheyenne Build
Great work on the bed.

Re: Starting my 1971 Super Cheyenne Build
Made some seat brackets to lower my bench about 2 inches. It uses all the same bolt holes so if you ever want to go back to the stock brackets its no problem. I kept the bench with a good rake to it still so its nice and comfortable.
