Super build. If I had the resources and the skills I'd have a clone of your truck. It's perfect superfly.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Damn, Mario did a super job on that front drive set-up - motor looks killer!!! Looks like he's gonna be handling my body & paint now - after your recommendation & talking to him definitely believe he's the man for the job! Hopefully mine will go into paint & body in June. Keep the pics coming on your truck man, your gathering quite the following!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
I like your truck better than the $30k blue and white '72.
I'll be looking for it on the cover of StreetTrucks magazine, as soon as it see's it's first major truck show! Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Thanks for sharing the numbers. I was thinking around $40K but you can add at LEAST $10-20K if you hadn't done the labor yourself. Your ride is top notch. It makes me just a little jealous I can't afford to drop cash on my project.....should have gone to dental college I guess. Hmmm

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Well look at it this way. What could you have gotten for $38k if you went and got a truck at the dealer. Maybe a 09 10 crew cab, or a used Tahoe. Park them next to each other... Which one would you drive? I know my choice.
Truck came out killer, I detailed my dentist camry the other day and just laughed thinking of pulling up to your dentist apt and seeing this parked in the Dr parking spot. Lol Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Amen to that. I watched my dad drive a '71 Cheyenne 45-minutes each way to work for several years. Everytime something new at the house broke down, it was used to pull that thing home so he could fix it. If that thing ever broke, it was a cheap fix, then back out on the road. It served me well throughout high school. Hopefully I'll find the time to fix it up and make it my driver one day.
