Me too man, the gate on the bed is rust free but bowed and a few dents. The orange and white one is the real cherry one! That one is amazing for its' lack of dings/dents

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!
Well, not much work done on the truck today. Was super busy with a potential side job and I also met up with boardmember PGSigns to deliver his new wheels
![]() ![]() I got to spend some quality time with my 3 and 6 yr old girls out in the garage showing them what things were and how they worked. I forgot to mention that my 3yr old was on my lap or in her princess chair out in the garage half the other night I was taking the dash apart. It was great to share time with her and listen to her 10million and 1 questions about what I was doing. She keeps asking me if I'm ready to paint it yet ![]() We decided to grab a bunch of the smaller parts and lay them out for a picture or three..... I keep finding more parts for this build! It's nice to have a lot of parts in my garage/house sometimes ![]() ![]() Super nice original dash pad...might as well be NOS!!! ![]() T3 headlights ![]() New bezels and lenses for all lights ![]() All stainless fasteners for the interior. Love this kit as it's all labeled for each interior piece ![]() Super nice original armrests...again like NOS ![]() Restored black belts ![]() Guide parking lights ![]() New front grille emblem and NOS door edge guards ![]() And...it's got a Big Block so this will go in the gauge cluster when I build it...after I clean it up ![]() ![]()

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!
It makes it nice. I have almost all the weatherstrip needed also. Going to be really nice when I get ready to put it together after paint.

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!
I can take measurements for you if you like.... but with a new carpet kit you could really just space them out evenly.

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!
I'll get the measurements for you. They go just above the tank under the window. The pics are on this thread already...

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!
There are a total of 12 holes....that is one of them. They run the entire way across the back of the cab. You might be able to use velcro sewn to the carpet and glued to the cab.

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!
do i have to screw it there? i would rather have it screw lower but then it would only be single metal what if i let it just ''lay'' against the gas tank?

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!
Screwing it in is the correct way. As I edited my above post to say, you could do velcro also.
I finally got my inner A/C box out. Just had to hit it hard with both hands a few times and it was loose enough to pull out. Worked on gutting the doors and the driver's vent crank is fused to the regulator??? Thinking someone JB welded it or something. Have to charge up the sawzall tomorrow. Then I'll be gutting the doors and sanding off the paint on the cab in preparation to taking it in for welding patch panels and then body work.

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!
Nice, looks like you are on your way to a nice Super. Correct details with the gas tank carpet holes. I might have you measure those out for me. Do you have the special brass tabs for the carpet? Trevor

Brass tabs..... I'll have to look through the box of parts/hardware I have. Do you have a picture of what they look like? If this wasn't a super BB truck, I wouldn't have gone with a factory AM/FM. They make nice aftermarket ones around 200 that fit the factory hole and honestly will put out better sound with better reception.
