Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
Thanks quad zero. I wish I could take credit for the fab work, but without a brake in my shop, I had to pay $$$ for my cardboard mockup to become a reality. If i had a tig welder i would have given her a whirl for sure.

Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
Thanks frenchblue72. I wanted to keep the look simple and clean. I do like 2 tone, but could never arrive at two tones that I really liked. Though, thought seriously about champagne as the light and rootbear as the dark for a bit.

Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
update. Got a few moments the other day and thought i would fill the 16x9 speaker holes in the doors and get the new sport mirrors test installed.
After plate welded in Door Mirror holes. I used this reference that was here on the forums. It was very helpful as the factory assembly manual references templates or something that didn't seem to have real world garage meaning.

Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
Nice build! I see you have more than 2 leafs in the front leaf springs, are those lift springs you purchased? Curious what you went with for those.

lift kit. I wanted as nice a ride as i could get and not too much lift. Just enough to give 33" tires some breathing room. Cheers Chris

Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
slipped in a little more truck time between jobs.
I needed to get a bunch of holes on the bed filled where the auxiliary tanks were mounted. A bit tedious, but got it done. I also need to clean up this area inside the bed where the side filler was fabbed. I wish i would have done this myself. Would have been much cleaner to just make a nice box with tabs at the bottom. A slurry of filler and welding rod. Not too pretty. I'll see what I can do. Never know, might get aggravated and cut the damn thing out. Start over?? I also managed to get all the fluids replenished in the motor, frt/rr axle, trans and transfer case. I decided to go with 75/90 Synthetic for axles and trans/transfer case. Sounds like many people are using this stuff with good results. It must have been a long time since I replenished all the fluids in one of my vehicles because I nearly blacked out after looking at the receipt. This stuff must be made out of an exotic mixture of refined gold. Oh well, it's only money right. So, bed is almost ready for body shop and motor is almost ready for a startup.

Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
Update. Well, had today to try and get some stuff done. I grinded a few more welds in the bed floor and then turned my attention to the huge leak that started when I was pouring fluid into the transfer case.
It appeared to be coming thru the input shaft seal that i just replaced. hmmmm So removed driveshaft and yoke to take a loo at the seal. I bought a rebuild kit online so wondering if this is the culprit. After careful inspection, the seal wasn't even touching the yoke shaft. therefore the fluid was just pouring out. So off to Napa to get'r fixed. While I was there i picked up a 78 steering box with the quicker ratio and got her installed with my drop pitman arm. I give the credit to crash for doing this with good result. I am waiting on a few electrical connectors and some bulk wire to get started wiring the motor.

Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
made a little progress yesterday. Got some wiring stuff delivered. I soldered together some nice weather pack connectors for the fan setup.
Got the core support grounded to the frame. Most importantly, I got all the temporary wires hooked up and some fuel in the tank for the test start. I did run the fuel pump to pressurize the lines and only had one leak at a loose line fitting. Tightened her up and back in business. I also cycled the pump till I heard the return line dumping fuel back into the tank. Very happy it works. Dropped a bolt in the frame to hold the DBW pedal I am a little concerned about priming the engine. It has been sitting for months and part of that time upside down. Any suggestions? This isn't like the old small block. I was thinking I would take out the plugs give a squirt or two of WD40 in the cylinders and dry crank till I have pressure. Then close it all up and give it a go? Hopefully next post will be a video of the motor living. On your mark, get set...

Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
Can't ya pull out the distributor and prime the engine by turning the oil pump with a drill motor? I wouldn't do WD-40 as its not a lubricant its a water displacement product, a small squirt of motor oil wouldn't hurt i wouldn't think.

Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
We have filler! Went by the body shop today to check on progress. much to my surprise, they are pretty far along on the cab. Should be in primer soon.
They said they are getting about 5 hours a week in on it between jobs. At least there is progress.

I am cautiously optimistic, but have been here Before. Feel like a broken record with this body Shop stuff. If I could just get the cab back I could Get the truck driving, braking, shifting and partially Wired. So, we'll see. Chris

But do not. The body guy gave me great numbers. So, I doubled it and think it is still doable. Lol

Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild
Too bad about the body shop putting your project aside, seems to be a common issue with a lot of people on this board. 8 months is a joke. But still good to see the updates and great progress coming along and being able to start it for the first time is a great milestone. This project is inspiration for others following along.
