Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!
Where did you get the radiator hoses?
Surprising that your NOS wipers were made in Mexico.

Yeah, the wipers were also off ebay...didn't show the hecho en mexico sticker on them But they are brand new wipers that look like my originals made by GM that I hadn't been able to find... probably really NNS (new newer stock) but still discontinued from what I've found. Oh wow, I didn't notice that Just kidding. Working on that man....just got the bed off Still have under the cab, the rest of the firewall, and parts of the interior to finish too...

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!
thanks, getting there...almost got all NOS stuff for the outside.
Might be a BIG change of direction on this project soon (people who know me and my builds will NOT be surprised ) I'm still going to build the truck and it will be a SWB BB Super.....but might not be this truck. Looking at a truck in NC that is a TRUE SWB BB Super with even more options than this truck had. Also has the correct 402/400 with it. So I am leaning towards selling this frame/cab and purchasing the other truck. I'm going to get the rust repaired in the cab and freshen up the frame a little and see if I can sell it for what I have in it....then pick up the other SWB super.... I just feel to do this build right...with all the nice and NOS stuff I have and to get top dollar I should get a TRUE SWB BB Super with number's matching block, frame & cab.... Opinions?

The truck I'm looking at has OOODLES of documentation...I WILL spend more than I did on this truck in getting it, but as I said, the new truck comes with the correct 402/400 including everything for the engine (carb, intake, air cleaner, brackets, A/C, etc etc... So I'm willing to pay more. In the end I feel it's a good investment if I want a chance at getting top $$$ for the truck. And, someone will get a good deal on a nice SWB BB Super truck when I sell this one Or...I can always part it for at least what I have in it BB specific parts 402 engine (out of chevelle) rebuilt with mild cam Posi rear (373) Tilt Cheyenne super stuff Cab and rolling SWB frame on rally wheels with good title and 67K original miles disc front 5 lugs with power steering I count at least 3000 in value there.

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!
Ah...nothing like the feeling of opening that NOS part that arrives via the mail/UPS/FedEx. But then the elated feeling wanes and we need more...MORE...MORE!
Nice find, Jonathan.

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!
WHAT??!?!?! you are going to change directions after 15 pages of updates...I'm shocked
If you wanna complete original big block, big buck swb super build then go for the other one....you'll be selling to a limited market, but I know you know that already

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!
I think it would be a smart move to get the real deal. I was suprised when this thread was started to see you use all these high dollar parts and it not be the real deal.

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!
Just my opinion,... but the real deal "high dollar" restoration will require the chassis to be nut and bolt correct.
All colors, and finishes. I think it will be hard to make a profit. (just my 2 cents)

Yep, I realize it's going to be a VERY limited market due to the price....therefore I want no reason for someone to question the legitimacy of the truck thanks Quote:

If I hadn't seen CSM and Jerry Brown's over restored trucks selling for 50-70K within the last 6 months I'd be concerned about making a profit too...but I'm going to build a truck modeled after theirs (and using many of the same parts for that matter (CSM parts who Jerry also uses) So it really comes down to the quality of the body work and paint that would be the only difference (other than the marketing/reputation advantage that they have) And I'm confident in the guys doing the body work and paint!
