Wrap them individually in cellophane (sp??) and ship them on Greyhound. That would probably be pretty cheap

Re: 72 Cheyenne Build Thread
I would pay for the boxes and shipping. If you think it would be easier to take the tires off the rims I would pay for that as well. Let me know. My zip is 37043. thelonerife

Re: 72 Cheyenne Build Thread
Your Truck Looks Great! Shows what someone can do when they take their time and have patience. Really like some of the subtle mods you have made. And the blower is way cooler than a new fuel injected motor any day! Love the noise they make and as you stated...The low end torque is unbeatable!
I need to start a thread soon when mine gets further along.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Build Thread
Been working on the sound system. The PO hacked the doors pretty good so I decided to make a plate and mount my components in the doors. Gonna have to make some kick panels with some integrated speaker grills....should be fun! Also working on a sub box and back panel to mount the amp.
Also got my tranny cooler installed. between this and the Pan (Derale with cooling tubes) I hope the tranny stays cool enough, I'm going to get a tranny temp gauge just to make sure. BTW....my exhaust is discolored cuz I put some "hi temp" clear on before I put it back on. It's burned all the way off where the exhaust has gotten hot enough.....gonna have to sand the rest off! Also finally put an air filter on it. I really wanted to come up with something different, but I gave in and bought with K&N setup. I really wanted some type of cold air setup, but not only did I not have many options for intake, I'm not real fond of the "clothes dryer exhaust" for intake tubes. I was also concerned about CFM. the lid is real close to the hood when closed.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Build Thread
For a tranny cooler I went with the B&M remote mount w/ fan and mounted it in the same spot. I have a temp gauge and I had to beat the sh!t out of my truck (power brake, hard launches) for almost 45min to get the tranny to kick the fan on (180*). I have towed heavy loads and done a few 300 mile trips and never a problem. So if yours does not do it for you look into the B&M I put on LowBuck.
So were are the motor pics??? One of these days I will have to cruse up the road and check your truck out it is a work of art! Kevin LFD Inc. |

Re: 72 Cheyenne Build Thread
jim , the truck really looks great. keep the blower motor. though about pulling my 396 for a 350, but the truck is just to much fun to drive with loads of exrta power. like kevin said , it is a work of art.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Build Thread
Finally got around to building a little sub box with a shallow 10" Pioneer. Gonna mount the amp just left of the box.
Never built one before and it turned out pretty nice.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Build Thread
Looks good! I am glad you posted today, I was going to look you up other wise. When I was headed back from Woodland yesterday I saw a truck like yours color wise and shine on a trailer heading up 505 as I was headed down. As it went by I noticed the entire front end was about 2+' feel shorter than it should have been and I was hopping it was not you or if it was that everyone was OK.
