Nice- looking forward to more pics!

**jocko** · 02-05-2018, 08:23 PM

original blue with black vinyl, that's not too awful common (most I've seen were blue vinyl int). Nice find!

swb4me · 02-05-2018, 08:27 PM

I almost to forgot to include some pictures of the other chevy "truck" that's part of this rescue.

According to this site the second one aint a truck so just send it on to me . Good finds on both .

If you look closely you can see that someone added a tilt column at some point.

Mere technicalities is all. It's got an open bed so to us it's a truck.

That garage is full of neat stuff. How many engines in there?

I counted 3 sbc motors and several transmissions. We made a deal for everything automotive in the garage. I hope one of the motors is the original to the Cheyenne.

Looking to relocate to Idaho. My in laws live there and I recently retired. What part of Idaho do you live in.

cleszkie · 02-06-2018, 03:23 PM

So what is the story on the rescue? How did you come upon it? I always like to hear a good "barn find" story

Not a very exciting story, but I found them in the non running vehicle section of a local online classified ad. The seller wanted to sell both trucks to one buyer, so I called and worked out a price that also included all the extra parts.

**Boog** · 02-06-2018, 10:38 PM

Package deals. Oh yeah.

swb4me · 02-09-2018, 02:57 AM

The recovery mission went well today.

Rexburg, it's in the southeast of idaho. The winters can be tough, but everything else is great. We're about 90 miles from Yellowstone park.

**ho70** · 02-09-2018, 02:43 PM

Love stories like that. Like them more when I'm in them, but.........Nice trucks, love el caminos,( and c10s)

Short7duce · 02-09-2018, 02:45 PM

Damn awesome find!

dell72 · 02-09-2018, 02:54 PM

I always like seeing old iron rescued, especially a Janesville made truck. I grew up in Janesville and my dad retired from the GM plant.

TexasLS1 · 02-09-2018, 04:36 PM

Awesome, nice lot. My girlfriend and lots of friends 'n family went to school in Rexburg.
I'm in to follow updates, will this be your build thread?

If we decide to build the Cheyenne, we'll start a build thread in the correct section.

Sounds like fun.

Sent you a pm.

Had some time today to run the casting and block # on the motors that came in this stash. We have two 400 small blocks and most likely the original 350 out of the Cheyenne. The TDJ is listed as a 1972 c10/c20 motor. It's also listed as a van/bus motor in 1980. I'll do a little more digging and hopefully I can rule out the 1980 date.
