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
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.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
I'm thinking this daily driver just may be another magazine cover truck, it looks that good. Definitely one of my favorite C-10's ever.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Awesome! Motor looks like glass!
I think this would be another cover truck or at least a feature if you contact whoever did your last truck...

No because you are not removing the complete lip

The motor looks great. I like the floor shifter too. Keep up the hard work.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
It looks like your idea of a daily driver and mine are worlds apart. Looks absolutely fabulous. Could you post the info on the red brake line holders? Also would like to know what the mini starter motor is.

Does that $250/yr for $80K in coverage allow driving it w/o milage or storage restictions like a new truck can/would be used?
