Chucks 72 Cheyenne Custom Camper

[thelonerife]

I got some Accuride rims for it. Cleaned them up a little. Still need to clean some more on the backs. I also got a brake controller. I put the trailer light socket in the bumper but haven't wired it.

Those wheels are gonna look great! I love steelies on a C/20.

[thelonerife]

Me too. I just hope I can find some caps for them. If not I'll run just the wheels till i do.

Chuck-
Thanks for the part numbers, they are the same that I have on my truck now. The Napa 703-1092 can also be ordered as a Stant 10742. I haven't driven it since I put them on, so I wasn't entirely sure they would work correctly for pressure/vacuum. Glad to hear yours is ok so far.

[thelonerife]

Glad I could help Andrew,

I still need to put on the heat riser delete. Just busy a round the house.

Weird thing happened today with Tonto. I filled up the other day after getting a new gas cap to see if any fuel would come out of it. So after it didn't I parked it in the basement where its been for a few days. Today I get home from work and smell a strong gas smell. I look all over to see which truck had the gas puddle but neither did. I go over to Tonto and start to ease off the cap and a little spray comes out as if it were under pressure. I clean it all up and move it outside for cleanup. I guess the temp drop then temp climb the last couple days might have caused it Iduno.
So that little sticker on the top of the cap is true lol.

So much for my negative pressure theory!

haha,. I don't know what caused it. I didn't run the truck after that but I also didn't take the cap off after I got home either. People usually don't fill up and take the cap off too. So anyway I will be careful from now on when taking it off. What really got me was that it smelled so strong like there was a puddle somewhere. Never had this happen in the 26 yrs I've been messing with these trucks.

These things are quirky. My 72 had a filter with one line in and two out--one to the carb and I guess the other one is supposed to go to a charcoal canister. I put a new filter on with one inlet and one outlet and it cranked right up. The other hose is just laying aside. A day or two later, it wouldn't pump fuel up into the clear filter. I'm wondering if that other hose has to be connected to something, or plugged, for the fuel pump to get fuel. I hate to start changing the pump if it's some quirk with the tank venting.

This is with an OEM mech pump and the filter is between the FP and the carb. I haven't studied the other line routing yet. I just want to hear it run for engine evaluation.

Gave Tonto a bath today after work. I hope to do a little on him this weekend.

Lookin' good, my friend!

[Rusbuilt]

Cant wait to see the steel wheels and caps on it!

[cubber]

For some reason, seeing that C/20 all dolled up makes me want to yell "Big girls need lovin', too!" lol

BUT...... Its a boy.

[thelonerife]

I need a bumper sticker then

[cubber]

Oops! I forgot. Who names a girl "Tonto"? No one does. My apologies.

[thelonerife]

I got the heat riser taken off and the delete put on. Much quieter now. I also got the light socket wired and all I have left on that is the electric brakes wire and hooking up the controller.
I had to redo the rear connections as someone had crossed some wires and that made it take longer to do.

[Rusbuilt]

Sweet! Thats a cool pic with the trailer attached!

[cubber]

Man, it was dark out there,huh? Looks great! Lets go buy something, so we can haul it home!
