Bought a wrecked 81 Cheyenne today

Thought I would share this piece of squarebody history. First off this is not a for sale ad. The body and interior is junk, but runs and drives. Has a strong 350/350. This is the first and probably the last 1981 Cheyenne I will ever see.

Re: Bought a wrecked 81 Cheyenne today

Very cool. They had some really unique stuff in 1981. Green interiors, the padded piece on the silverado door panels was different, cheyennes. I'm sure I'm missing some...

Shame it ended up like that, looked like a great truck until the wreck. The light in bumper early 80s are my favorite squares.

I probably built that truck (an '81 out of Flint).

Probably goes without saying but scrape all the Cheyenne badges off before you scrap it!

Re: Bought a wrecked 81 Cheyenne today

This thing is beyond fixing. The body is headed to scrapper and the rest is getting parted out.
