Re: 1973 Cheyenne Super 10
Thanks!! Call me crazy, but I want to leave traces of the original 1973 Lime green metallic paint here and there. Besides, I was kind of rushed on this project to do any of the 'detail' work I usually like to do.

Re: 1973 Cheyenne Super 10
Sorry...haven't been in this thread in a while. Yes, the headlight bezels shown in these pics are plastic LMC's. They look good... easy replacement. I've since replaced them with metal originals with black accents that I scored at the swap. I have the LMC one's still...stored.

Re: 1973 Cheyenne Super 10
Thanks to my buddy and my cousin, I got to 'new' front tires from Craigslist and a set of Rockets from a local swap meet. I'm in a little debt to those guys, but they were both nice enough to let me take the merchandise... I'm on the "Chicano pay as you can plan" with both of them.
![]() I only have the front two installed so far... ![]() Phone pics:

Re: 1973 Cheyenne Super 10
Thanks for the compliments guys. Turns out I may have to stick with the old moons. When I got the front tires mounted and balanced, the guy didn't tell me that one was bent. I took it out on the highway and she shakes pretty good at about 55....goes away at 65 or so. Anyhow, I got it rebalanced at another tire store and the guy took me out to the shop to show me the bent wheel on the balance machine. He tried to balance it out, but it still shakes at those speeds. I considered putting that wheel on back, but I'm still not sure. I really dig how they look...it's really what I was after, but it may not work out...
