Brought home a new project
I found this truck as part of an estate sale. Made a deal with the deceased's sister and brought it home this morning. I didn't get a screaming deal but a very fair one. It's a 1971 Cheyenne super. Has it's original BBC and TH400 both with fresh, never fired rebuilds. Has a complete ECE suspension with spindles, springs, shock locators and front and rear swaybars. It also included ECE transmission crossmember and trailing arm crossmember that are not installed yet. BeCool radiator and shroud set-up, new front bed wall and lots of other stuff. I think this will turn out to be a pretty nice truck.

Re: Brought home a new project
Do you happen to know the brand on the bump stops used on the front / lower control arm?
I'm looking for different options and that looks like something that would work well for bags. Thanks |

Re: Brought home a new project
definately a nice find! if it were me i would finish the build the po started cause he obviously loved his truck it can always be changed later, but the parts u got with the truck look like nearly everything to finish it
