72 Cheyenne K10 SWB Numbers Matching
Was after this truck from the original owner's widow for 16 years. He died in 1989. She drove it a little bit in the winters. It was a farm truck and even had a stock rack for hauling cattle on it. My sons and I are the builders. We have built many cars and trucks together.

Inside bed picture. The truck had 43,444 original miles on it before the restoration started. Bought it in early October 2013. We only have a month or two in the winters to build them, but were about 7/8 done with it now.

Re: 72 Cheyenne K10 SWB Numbers Matching
The truck was bought new in Reno Nevada. They moved to Idaho in 1983. The rust issues we dealt with were the rear cab corners, rear cab mounts, both door bottoms and the hardest one was below the rear sliding glass window. Went to a local junk yard and they ruined a cab for $35.

Re: 72 Cheyenne K10 SWB Numbers Matching
The truck will be updated and driven daily. It will pull the planes out of the hanger every morning.
Updates include powder coated frame and various other body parts. 4" lift with custom built springs from Alcan. The back set have a little over 4" to prevent rear droop. Also moved the center pin back 1" for better rear wheel to fender lip alignment. Stroked and bored the engine to a 383 ci. Good thing I overhauled the engine, the old steel head gasket were letting water seep into the cylinders from all the sitting around. Used a new stoker crank and rods. Bumped the compression up to 9.2 and install a torquer cam. Also installed Pertonix Igniter II in the distbutor. Building the engines is my favorite part. Install a tach dash from Tom TBONE1964. Installed a tilt steering column Kevin Kevs Classics Retro Sound stereo with blue tooth, Retro sound in dash speaker (they say use the 5x7 for A/C pickups. We did it, but won't again. We'll use the 4x10 next time) Alpine 4" in upper cab corner and 2 Alpine 8" subs with built in amps under the seat. Running the old 15x10 Mickey Thompson Challenger wheels with the M/T Baja MTZ 33x12.5R15 tires.

Re: 72 Cheyenne K10 SWB Numbers Matching
Powder coated frame with Inline tube SS brake and fuel lines. Have had a lot of leaking issues with this set of line. Inline tube has been good to work with, but slow with result. In the past we've never had an issue with their stainless steel lines.

Re: 72 Cheyenne K10 SWB Numbers Matching
American Autowire classic update kit. We usually use these kits in all our builds, including LS and Electronic transmission vehicles. Use their Highway series in hotrods. On the K10 used the AAW Classic Update kit with a non anti diesel original wiring harness on the A/C system.

Re: 72 Cheyenne K10 SWB Numbers Matching
Thanks for watching our build.
Watched the video of your 71 K10. Cool truck and like the LT1. Hard to beat a 67-72 SWB 4x4.

Re: 72 Cheyenne K10 SWB Numbers Matching
The A/C evaporation box before my son Clay restored it. He only changed the fan and expansion valve. Then cleaned, polished and clear-coated it. Sent the POA valve to Benny Sanchez in Texas for a R134 calibration.

Re: 72 Cheyenne K10 SWB Numbers Matching
Thanks, mine also. I'm a Montana native. Grew up in Hardin and moved to Idaho in 87. Actually have some NOS parts that I think are in Laurel for pickup or to be shipped. A front bumper and inner grille for our other 72.

Re: 72 Cheyenne K10 SWB Numbers Matching
Thanks for subscribing and compliment
Years ago I hauled gypsum rock out of Nephi to Inkom Id. for the concrete plant there. Like your truck also. I mainly drive black vehicles. We have a black 72 cheyenne C10 that was my son Ty's (3) pickup. We'll be redoing it as soon as this one is done.
