Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!
Well, going to be delayed a day or so getting over for patch panel welding due to weather. Good news is I'm going to be getting a rust free 72 passenger door and rust free original fenders with all the trim soon. Sold a bunch of parts including some locally so I freed up some more cash for parts for the super. Sorry there isn't much action recently other than parts buying I thought it would be under the knife by now

Thanks! Tranny round 2..."new" 400 picked up this evening. going to be getting the old one back and the guy I bought the new one from is giving me a $100 core charge for it. So I end up paying 225 for a rebuild Th400 with a shift kit so not a bad deal all in all....and it's a correct early one...the other one was a 78. Got some more parts in Pictures later tonight or tomorrow. Going out in the garage to do some grinding to investigate on the cab.

Well, it's confirmed once again....I'm a doofus!!! Anyone notice my new 400 doesn't look like a 400? It's a stinking T350. When I got it I never even looked at the pan. I questioned the guy about the placement of pieces of it but didn't look at the stinking pan.... Well, we'll see if the guy will take it back and refund my cash but I'm guessing I'll be trying to sell this on craigslist now and find a real 400. Can't believe I didn't notice....the whole time....even power washing it. Tranny guy took one look at it and recognized it. DOH!!!! Live and learn. I responded to an ad advertising a T400 and just assumed it was...we talked trucks and muscle cars for a bit, cash was exchanged and I loaded it in my van and away I went. Man I am so steamed at myself!!!

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!
Yep...I just trust people too much sometimes
Oh well...I'll find another one and hopefully things will work out with returning or selling this one.... The other reason I'm a little bummed tonight is I took out the front and rear windshields. The front looks really good. Some heavy surface rust in both corners but the metal is good. I'll clean that area up, put some rust converter on it, and it'll be done. The rear lower window frame is going to need some work. It's got about 6 little rust holes in it. The good news is I have a cab I can cut up for patches. I'll probably get more for the other cab as patches anyways. So that'll be part of my day tomorrow. There is one other rust spot on the cab around the passenger side firewall. Overall this is a super nice cab for this area. Floor is great other than right by the a-pillar, and roof/windshield area are clean.

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!
To end the day on a good note I am going to work on sanding the cab tomorrow and have two people coming by to purchase parts so that'll help with the build.
Speaking of parts: NOS A/C controller NOS LH Outer door handle Super nice Tilt column- will end up sell the one in the cab now as I know nothing about it and the arms are long gone... NOS 72 sport mirrors (pair) Passenger bucket seat mounts And some literature I've been collecting. I'm looking for anything related to 72 trucks. Really looking for the brochures that show the cheyenne and cheyenne super options in them. I have the highlander ones....looking for the cheyenne ones (if they made one)

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!
Yep, pretty upset at myself. I know the difference in the length and the obvious difference in the shape of the pans but never even looked.

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!
Good news!
Two things...first, I sold more parts this morning so I can buy more this evening Second...the better news....the guy I bought the tranny from called me back. He was apologetic and offered to take it back and refund me. On top of that he's looking for another turbo 400 (72 correct one) to get me a good deal on. Seems like it will all work out fine!!!

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!
Hope he does follow through. I'll call him Monday if he doesn't call before. I have a line on another couple 400's if this falls through but obviously this is my best option at this point....
Got my NOS sway bar parts from Tim Christian today. And also got a salesman's pocket guide for 1972 options prices today. Pictures of those tomorrow. Started sanding down to bare metal tonight. Driver's door was actually better than I thought. Will need some outer skin work but not too bad. inner seems solid so far. I didn't touch the passenger door because I have a new one coming from Tkorinek...same deal on the fenders Going to need a patch in this corner and a smaller one in the opposite corner but not too bad for an original door. Has the GM sticker on it with the VIN which I hadn't noticed before.... (and don't worry...the rocker will be patched/replaced ) And how I left it this evening...

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super Short Fleet Big Block build!
Did you ever think about soda blasting the cab? Might save some time.
