Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
Isn't cool when you find stuff you bought and stashed away for your project

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
I love it, haha. My dad is a camaro guy and my basement is filled with NOS parts from an old chevy dealership that we bought out the inventory of. So my entire house is full of parts of every shape and size for everything you can think of. I find new parts all the time

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
I am not sure about just the cab but I had the entire body blasted at once it was 500. The guy I went to is kinda a rip off when it comes to most things, I wouldn't be surprised if you could find a place cheaper. Hope this helps. And thanks, I am kinda new to the forum and I gotta say, it is very encouraging to have everyone compliment the work that you do, it definitely gives me motivation to keep on diggin.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
Thanks guys, it's been kinda hard to get stuff done on the truck cause I have been busy helping my dad on the super late model. I can do a good bit of the work on the frame like cutting material, welding, grinding and such. But my dad doesn't trust me laying down beads that are in high stress areas like the c notch so I kinda have to wait for him on that one. I have been doing some thinking and I am going off to college in August and I would really like to have the truck drivable by then. I know that is kinda a long shot but this summer I plan on working a ton and getting a lot of stuff done on it. I just don't want to leave for school and have a ton of parts laying all over the place. I am stuck on a color decision tho. Originally I wanted to do hugger orange and white like a ton of other people do but I kinda want to be different. Plus I don't really want to pay for all that molding that comes with a two tone paint job. My dad suggested doing just the roof white and the rest of the truck orange but idk. Any ideas? I'll post some pictures of what I was thinking

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
The first one is my original idea, the second one is my dad's idea, third one makes me wish I kept my fenders, and the last one kinda looks like an old truck my dad used to have

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
all those are great color schemes...I'm still partial to the 2-tone though.....do what you'll be happy with.....blue and white is another favorite of mine

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
I also like the blue and white but I already got black interior. I think I am gonna go with the hugger orange with the white top (like the 2nd one) but leave off the molding until I can afford it. That way it will still look complete. I should be getting a ton of parts in the mail either tomorrow or early next week. I'll have pictures posted when I get the parts

Hard to go wrong on those wheels. I'm also a big fan of the 2 tone

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
I appreciate it, you're build is looking pretty solid as well. It looks like we kinda have the same idea, great minds think alike

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
Little update, found a sweet deal on the local craigslist. Possibly a donor truck? Possibly a daily driver? I am dying to drive one of these things so I might just slam it and drive it but here it is. 71 Cheyenne, second owner, 350 small block, ac cab, kinda plain as far as tilt, tach, and buckets go. Going to check it out friday, hopefully driving it home. Guy says the body is solid (cab corners and rockers) only issue is the tailgate has a dent in it. It kinda looks like the bed is a different color but idk. Still looks like a great deal to me
