Re: 1971 Cheyenne K20
Very nice truck JT, I like the throttle option on the dash instead of under the dash, I'm gonna look into that for my '71 4wd stepper, I'm also a fan of cab lights on a 4wd truck.
have you replaced the cab mounts yet ?? how about a picture of the SPID when you get a chance...... LOVE THIS FORUM

Re: 1971 Cheyenne K20
It really is a nice clean example. When I get the truck back from the body shop we are going to start on correcting some stuff under the hood. I have a correct air cleaner and valve covers for it. Will probably put the correct manifolds on it eventually but that will be down the road if the motor ever has to come out.

Re: 1971 Cheyenne K20
I'm still bummer World Of Wheels doesn't have a show in Des Moines anymore. I've been contemplating taking the kids to the KC one though.

Re: 1971 Cheyenne K20
I'm a big fan of raised roof cab lights. It looks very nice! That was a lot of crustiness in there!

Re: 1971 Cheyenne K20
I finally got the truck back from the body shop on Wednesday night. Truck looks great and the cab light conversion was a success. Got some minor things fixed and most importantly the top of the cab is now white like it is supposed to be. Truck turned out great. Here’s a couple pictures. It was worth the wait.

Re: 1971 Cheyenne K20
This was literally one of the most stressful things I have done with a vehicle but, I really like cab lights and the end result was well worth it!
