Re: 1972 Cheyenne Restoration
Those blasted parts looks awesome! It makes me wish mine was sand blasted instead of just cleaned and painted.

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Restoration
Man, I am so jealous. Your a lucky guy to access to that shop an all that equipment. I'm sure you could make it work in a storage shed if you had to. The truck looks great. It is inspiring me to rip mine apart.
Keep the updates and pictures coming!  Please don't smoke, its bad for you!

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Restoration
Today was a busy day.....the crossmember is painted. although it looks powdercoated. I won't however reveal my secret on how I did it !!! It is very durable also.... we tested it by accident. We installed the rear diff cover too... bolts are silver tooffset all the black... and rust !!!
