Re: 71 Cheyenne C30 Project
This is the best I've got for you right now Culp. I took these pictures on my lunch hour and tried to hit everything real fast. If someone else has questions about something or wants a picture of a certain thing, tell me and I'll have it in a day.

Re: 71 Cheyenne C30 Project
How about a pic of the option sticker on the inside of the glove box door?

Re: 71 Cheyenne C30 Project
Well if it's not a 1 ton, I don't know why the badge would've been put on there. The paint on it is definitely too good to be original, so someone could have taken off the longhorn bed and painted it. Then swapped the 305 for the 350 and swapped a T350 for the T400. I have no idea. But I will whenever I get to it on Monday. So hold all of your horses, especially the one taking over your truck.

Re: 71 Cheyenne C30 Project
Is that a 4x4, and what size wheels and tires do you have???

Re: 71 Cheyenne C30 Project
if you remove a longhorn bed... that is 8 1/2 feet, then install a regular 8 foot bed, then my math says there would be a huge 6 inch gap between the cab and bed.

Re: 71 Cheyenne C30 Project
Lord have mercy, this is getting firey already. Get 'em Long!
Lol, I don't know, They could've just bought a badge and tossed it on there and called it 1 ton. Or maybe they took the horn bed off and moved the mounts and put a normal bed on and quick painted it. The first seems more likely, but I have no idea. Quit your back and forths, fellas. All will be answered soon. |

Re: 71 Cheyenne C30 Project
Does the truck still have the option sticker on the inside of the glove box door? The VIN is on that too.

Re: 71 Cheyenne C30 Project
its a half ton with 3/4 ton stuff thrown under it.
The VIN says 1/2 ton the coil spring rear was never offered in a one ton the trailing arms look to be the 1/2 ton pieces with no 3/4 ton reinforcement plate steel welded on the bed is only 8 feet, showing it is a 127 inch wheel base, which a 133 inche WB was the shortest one ton made 67 - 72 I'd call your insurance, and the DMV and let them all know it is not a one ton. Your insurance rates may drop, and depending on how your state taxes you for road use, your anual registration fees will probably drop too. |
