Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
Little more progress today. Got my headers in and there were some issues with clearance so I had to take out the motor mounts and cut out the spots that touched and make little channels to fit the headers. I am gonna get the motor mounts re-powder coated when I get the hood hinges and latch coated. Also the track bar and bracket are at the nickel plater along with the U bolts, master cylinder cover, and a few other small things. Making progress slowly but surely

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
This is a great project! You have came a really long ways in a very short time frame. It will look better than a new truck when you're done. Subscribed.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
It should be close on a few but I'm not sure. I don't have plug wires yet so I can't tell. And thanks for the kind words. All this time at home, I've gotten most of the work done that I can do so I'm almost at a stand still until I can save up some more money. I think the last thing on the list is run the fuel lines and figure out the center link.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
Looks like a couple are gonna be close...I'm sure your Dad will help ya but probably add some heat shield/ sheathing to those plugs....also, if you haven't already, maybe add a little anti-seize to those header bolts and spark plugs

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
Great work! Do you still need a cap for your steering box? I've got one I think. Nice score on the radiator. I have a fluidyne in my Vette and it works awesome!

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
Thanks, yea I do still need a cap for the steering box. That would be awesome if you had an extra one that we could figure something out on. And I'm pretty excited about the radiator. I should be getting it hopefully later this week or the beginning of next week. I figured if they work well for a race car they gotta be alright for a street car

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
Hahaha, thanks for noticing. It's basically a race version of a Ford 9 inch. They run them in Nationwide cars and busch east. You can get a nice one around these parts for a couple hundred without hubs, axles, or a gear.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
Great looking parts! Do you know if the 73-87 steering boxes are the same? I couldn't find one I had laying around for sure that came off a 68-72. But I have a few 73 ups. If they're the same, I can send you one.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
I'm not 100% sure but it looks like it's the same box. Anyone else wanna throw in their 2 cents? If you want we can figure out a deal on it and if it doesn't fit I can send it back?
