Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
My shop has been working on my main project for this year - Vintage Air. They ran into an electrical issue though so it's taking a bit longer than expected. Vintage Air has been very helpful and hopefully their solution will work. Here are a couple pictures from the work so far. I decided to leave the dash original instead of painting it since my four year old loves playing in the truck. Not loving the radiator hose either, but we didn't have much of a choice with the CVF Racing compressor location. Oh yeah, I also added the Forever Sharp steering wheel earlier this spring.

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
Truck looks killer. I’ve been on an aluminum tubing radiator hose kick with my cars. You could do that facing forward and going between the compressor and radiator. Just the tubing with silicon couplers on the end.

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
It's been a while since I've posted. We moved into a new house with a 4+ garage so no more storage unit issues for me! In addition to the vintage air this year, I was able to get new carpet installed. Feels much much cleaner now and smells a lot better too. Separately just had my shop do a little work to help with a weird hot weather hesitation, and when I went to pick it up they had it parked next to their newest build - 69 K20 big block currently listed on eBay. Incredible build.

Updated engine bay after AC and some fuel upgrades and carb spacer.

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
Engine looks great,... but if that's a glass fuel filter I would take that off right now.
Those things are fire traps.

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
Hmm. I believe it is. My shop installed it. I’ll ask them about it.

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
Ordered up an all metal filter. My shop did say that they’ll put those on initially when using an old gas tank.

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
Good idea.
I like putting the fuel filter between the tank and the fuel pump. Then run a nice clean hose or steel line up to the carb. Harder to change? Yes. But looks cleaner under the hood.

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
I think that’s how it used to be looking back at older pictures. The recent changes were to help diagnose some high temperature throttle hesitation.

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
Wow, complete custom! One thing is bothering me. No pics of the factory headliner. This site really likes pictures and I happen to love the Cheyenne and Supers because of the headliner.

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
Had the truck in the shop several weeks ago. Got the filter swapped out and all the suspension retorqued. Left and the engine would randomly shut off. Replaced ignition, module, and distributor and it's running better than ever! I'm guessing that was the issue all along and not a fuel issue. I've been able to run in 90 degree temps with the AC blasting and I'm only hitting 195 degrees.

Awesome thanks! I agree, Hugger Orange is a bit more on the red side.

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
My truck got a new lift yesterday! I'm mostly excited to just get it up and away from door dings, kid bikes, and basketballs!

Re: 71 Cheyenne LWB Build (RideTech Air and zz502)
I haven't updated much recently. Finally decided to have someone take a look at my brakes and he suggested hydroboost. Absolutely amazing. An extreme difference is an understatement! Really transformed the truck. Also, I was running a 3200-3500 stall before. Dropped in a Hughes 2500. Much better for the street and the truck seems to put down the power even more. Lastly, I've been having some tire rub with the trailing arms/panhard bar when turning left. Put in some longer studs and spacers. Truck can really rip now!
