Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
Hey guys, it's been a while since I've been on here. There has been some progress on the truck, just not as much as I would like. Being in college is really proving to be nuisance when it comes to a big expensive project like this. Since I last updated the forum the motor has been installed, we solved the rear end issue, and a little more work on the interior has been done. I will take a million pictures for all of you picture addicts when I get home tonight. If I don't have them uploaded by tomorrow night, feel free to post the dreaded "This Thread Is Worthless Without Pics" comment. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, I know I'm ready to get home and see my family.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
Alright here's what's goin on in the pictures. The motor is bolted in but we had to make a trans xmember cause someone stole my original one. So the trans is just sitting on a piece of square tubing which is why the motor is tilted back so far. When the xmember is complete it won't look so goofy. Also the wheel that is bolted on the rearend is just a mock up wheel off a super late model. It's only a 16.5 but I wanted to see how far I could get it tucked up there. The way it is shown, the pumpkin is hitting on the bottom of the bed. Also the spindles are off an old cup car but they don't have enough drop in them so there's a good chance those are gonna change.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
Thanks guys. I almost finished installing the steering column tonight. I hope to have most of the steering done and possibly be able to start the motor before I head back to school. I'll be home until mid January so I have a little bit of time to work on her. Stay tuned for more pictures of my progress

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
I feel ya on this I spend enough on each year of school to build a completely custom 10sec truck with all aftermarket parts. And the prof's feel that your breaks are time for them to assign homework for the next semester... BTW Nice work on the truck it's coming right along.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
I just read through your build thread, and you're doing a great job! I love how nice everything has turned out. You'll definitely have a sweet truck when you're done with it! Keep up the great work!

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
Here are a few pictures of my recent progress. The first few are a track bar mount that we made. It will bolt directly into the frame and the track bar will run to the left rear of the truck arm

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
Ran some fuel lines, got a new thermostat housing, and put on belts. As soon as the radiator gets here it should be almost time to start this girl up.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Super First Project
Finally, does anyone have a cap for a steering box that they don't need? I somehow misplaced the one that I had and I need one. Here is a picture of my steering box
