Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Awesome truck! I am also rebuilding a 72, but its got a long way to go. This is my first build and I started with a good 350 motor. I am about to get it mechanically sound enough to be an everyday driver. Thanks for posting pics that show how cool these trucks can be once their done!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
What length steering column did you go with? I'm trying to figure out what would be a comfortable length for my '69 CST. I'll probably be moving the tank to the rear to give me a few more inches of leg room. Thanks buddy! The truck is looking dadgum awesome. Great job.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Just 2 questions 1971 was the only year they added the sicker for the disc brakes and And after all that work why not french a Gas door on the end of the bed so you can fill your truck truck up with as never understand why people that do body work and can do it so well why not do the Gas door on the side of the bed thats my thought but nice truck build i have a factory all black Cheyenne and i only payed 650.00 for it but it's coming slowly but it's coming
