Re: 72 Cheyenne Build Thread
Chevy/GMC C1500/2500 88-91 is in his. You can get the same seat up to 94, but the 92-94 will have adjustable headrests.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Build Thread
Thanks as always all!.......isn't any of us that don't like a "pat on the back" for all the work involved to make an old truck look good again!

Re: 72 Cheyenne Build Thread
Hey SactoJim,
What did you end up doing for your front carpet area where the carpet ends and the Dynomat beging. I'm in the same boat right now and want to find something. Thanks, Ron

Re: 72 Cheyenne Build Thread
As always.....thanks a ton for the compliments!
Ron.....the auto parts places around here (Kragen, AutoZone...etc) carry rolls of carpet (actually "felt" like and pretty light duty) that I just cut to fit and glued down to the floor. It's only like $10 a roll and worked great and I also used in on my sub box. Only downside is that there aren't but a few colors available.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Build Thread
When I get in a hurry on my new build, I will have to come back and look at this again because you have some patience and do some VERY nice work.

Holy Cow, Nice Truck! I wanted to go to the Tuesday Night Downtown, just never made it there, too bad for me. Maybe I'll see you around town.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Build Thread
You're probably tired of hearing this, but killer truck. I love the stance and the wheels...love that you kept the trim and moldings...and I'm really digging the color; it reminds me of "marina blue" from chevelles, camaros, vettes, etc.

SacramentoJoe.....I see you cruising around Roseville from time to time, so if some stranger honks at you in a White F150...it's just me. jb1016.....never get tired of hearing it (who would?)....lot of work went into this thing and I appreciate the "attaboys"! You hit the nail on the head with the Marina Blue......that's why I painted it later model Corvette Blue.

Re: 72 Cheyenne Build Thread
Sactojim,
Did you have any problems with those stamped steel hats? I had my axles turned down and after everythings mounted securely I have 0.050 runout. Wondering if I should use aluminum hats. Anyway, your truck is a great inspiration! Jay |

Re: 72 Cheyenne Build Thread
Had to get some inspiration and ideas again. It looks freaking beautiful Jim! You even have me thinking about adding a supercharger to mine since it all fits under the hood, and Mama even said I could do it!
Great job!

Re: 72 Cheyenne Build Thread
Your truck is absolutely one of my favorites on this board. Craftsmanship is top notch. Paint is beautiful, the list could go on and on. I hope my truck turns out half as nice as yours. Thanks for the inspiration. --Josh

Re: 72 Cheyenne Build Thread
Sacto Jim
This is my absolute favorite truck on this forum. I like everything about it, I even borrowed a few ideas for my own truck. (Hope you don't mind) The planning and execution is second to none ,and the quality is superior. I'm sure you've heard this a thousand times, Job Well Done.
