Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!

Picked up my truck plates to run on it today. I like that 72 plates in VA are black with white lettering. I'll probably just run the rear plate since this will be a trailer queen anyways

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!

Well, truck should go to Jason's tomorrow if the weather holds out. I sold some more parts today and picked up a couple things off ebay so I'm getting down to the final details

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!

That's dust in the pics...It's basically like NOS!

Also got an NOS Radiator cap It's an A/C delco and was cheaper on ebay than I could find locally...was advertised as NOS...not sure if the part # is an old one but I didn't care


and got these nice 8 400 emblems from Sharpie...still going to try to find NOS ones at a swap meet but if not these are as nice as I'll ever find for originals. A little black paint and a quick polish and they'll be great!

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!

I'm amazed at the pace you've been able to maintain on this. You have great planning skills to keep the project moving forward while you're still in acquisition mode. It's obvious this aint your first rodeo.

I appreciate that. This will be my second frame off and fourth resto. Been customizing vehicles to some extent for 16 years...started with stereos/wings/tint and graduated to the real stuff

I am actually behind schedule because of Jason's availability and waiting on sandblasters for a bit but ahead of schedule on finding parts....so I am still looking good to finish up sometime in July...hopefully early July.

Truck will be moved to Jason's shop tomorrow because of rain again today.

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!

Got this to cover the radiator...I know it's not factory but I like the way they look. It'll be painted to match the rad support.

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!

Got repop A/C balls but waiting for Junkyardjohn to see if he can find some he has that are actually chromed steel.

And the center vent is SUPER nice...it's really heavy...seems better than a repop but not sure....

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!

I had one NOS outer handle but couldn't pass up a set....notice the lock piece is longer on one than the other....they came that way according to Duncan and son and some others I've read. Part numbers check out. THere's a line to cut off and then re-shape the end. Some NOS I've seen had some imperfections...these are MINT!!!
