Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
The truck is looking great! I hadn't read the build thread on here, just what you had in the 66 thread about this truck. Man you got alot done in a short amount of time. It's too bad that you didn't make the deadline for the redding show, but now I'm not too bummed about not making it up there today (I had a birthday party for 2 of my nephews today). Are you coming to the Oroville show? If so I can't wait to see this truck in person! Hopefully I will have my truck back in one piece be then (I chopped it from a LWB to a SWB, and its getting bags too) so I can enter it in the under construction category. Keep up the good work!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
wow, that looks great. I'd be interested to see how high your hood opens with that PB strut setup. I noticed on mine it doesn't open very tall...and I'm a short guy.

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!
