Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Waiting until the final items are bolted on - the Custom Camper emblems needed a re-adjust which set us back
![]() Driver bucket and console are in. It drives well. Needs the emblems, door panels, and sill plates bolted on. That's it. Barring some unforeseen circumstance I expect to have final pics next week. Thanks for hanging with me on the build - almost there. I will say this, I put the resto shop through a lot of grief and they rose to the challenge. If anyone wants a complete frame off, they have the patience and expertise to see the job through. Admittedly, some of their time is being taken up doing a few things to my K5 adding to the K20 delay a little bit...more on that later.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Ok here's a peek - little bit of steelie and the OEM rear slider I rebuilt and added Brian Atkinson's NOS trim (rear sliders didn't leave GM with trim):

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Drove it yesterday!! Finishing some minor details now like the windshield washer pump fail. Will get some outdoor pics with caps after a few more miles and the lug nuts get re-torqued. Thanks everyone!!

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
I got to see this truck in person today. It is unreal. My jaw just dropped the whole time I looked at it. Don't know what else to say.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
Pete, absolutely fabulous work on the truck. You have set the bar rather high I must say.
Glad you got it finished and can enjoy the fruits of your labor now. Congrats on a well done job.
