Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
Thanks guys. I'm back up at school now and I won't be home until Thanksgiving so I won't be able to work on her for a little over a month. Its killing me not being able to work on it every day. There's so much to do, haha. But hopefully when I'm home for turkey day I can throw the motor and trans in and get some more done. I think I am gonna have to toss out the rear end idea because the one I have in is way shorter then a stock rear end and that is gonna create some issues when it comes to wheels and tires. And if I toss that rear end then I am gonna have to toss the truck arms and my bags so I'm not sure what is gonna happen there. Hopefully I can keep everything and figure out a way to make it work without tearing to much up. Again thanks for the kind words everyone. Back to college life for me, I'll keep everyone updated when I make some progress.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
I'm headed home on Friday for the weekend so I will be able to get some work done on the truck. My dad will be home this weekend so we are gonna try to get a cherry picker and throw the motor and trans in. Saturday I will be at the Goodguys show at the speedway all day drooling over other rides and selling parts with my dad, haha. If anyone else is going to be there let me know, I'd love to meet some board members!!
I had a quick question about my steering column. My column is originally out of a van so we had to shorten the shaft but the neutral safety switch hits the brake pedal housing forcing the steering wheel to be super close to the dash. Is there any way around this? I know that people have put van columns in these trucks before. Some pointers would be greatly appreciated.

And not sure about where we will be selling parts. Somewhere in the infield swap meet area. Are you bringing any trucks? If so you'll probably see me at your spot drooling and dreaming, haha!! Hope to see you there

![]() Plans for tomorrow night: Go to the parts house and get a heater core, install the heater box, do that mod to the steering column and install the column, fix my brake pedal, and get the motor and trans bolted together. I need a cherry picker, which I don't have, to install the motor and trans so I am gonna have to wait till my dad's friend is home so I can borrow his. Which means another weekend ![]()

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
Thanks guys. I only had a few hours to work on the truck this weekend. I did manage to get a couple things done tho. I got the gas pedal done, the steering column mod done and installed, motor and trans bolted together, and I got my heater core installed and the box mounted to the firewall. I was to busy working to take any good pictures but I did manage to snap a few cell phone pictures.
Also had a great time at the Good Guys show. Sold a few parts and made a couple bucks to hopefully either get my seat covered or get paint on the inside of my fenders and bottom of my hood. Here are the couple pictures that I took
