Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
Way to go! Sounds like electrical is done? What's left before you can drive it at least in and out of the garage?

Once I driver her around the neighborhood and test brakes, clutch etc, I will need to get custom exhaust done, then wheels and tires last. Next I will focus on the interior carpet, box for behind the seats, amp and stereo, seat belts and whatever else I forgot.

Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
Now I think I know why I can't plug in my throttle peddle in to my computer. I'm missing the accelerator module. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
No I did not get it with my engine. The PO I bought it from was clueless about the engine and at the time I did not have the wisdom to know what was missing. I do have a donor suburban that I can get it from but the engine in the burb won't if I grab it. I will check with a salvage yard and see if I can get one.

Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
Well, you only need this if your motor was drive by wire. If it is, then you need the accelerator pedal and tac module from the same vehicle if you can get it. You may
Also research and make sure that you have compatible accelerator pedal and tach module components for your year and model engine. This will save you headaches. Search ls1tech and you will get a ton of info there about your motor.

Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
Happy New Year everybody! Well, Santa Fe was (((((((COLD))))))) burrrrrr but just can't beat the fresh air and views out there.
When I returned home, I found many small packages awaiting me. My knobs for wiper and wiper delay. new American made turn signal switch headlight retainer rings. My old ones had a missing tab on each side. I also received a message that my wiper delay unit will be on it's way to me this weekend. So, weather permitting, I should hopefully get the dash back together this week and move on to assembling the rest of the interior. I also need to put some more elbow grease into the outer grill. A few passes with finer and finer grit sand paper until it is smooth enough for a polish. I really want to use as much of the original grill as possible.

I also need to order an overflow tank for the radiator. I overlooked that one. Anybody have any good ideas? I like the stock look, but am not even sure what was on these trucks stock.

Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
Is that delay from the guy (forgot his name) here on the board? I have his first rendition before the remote potentiometer one was made, it will be interesting to see where you mount it.
