New 1973 Cheyenne Super Project.
Hey all! Well we got another one. After selling the 83 a couple weeks ago it kind of left my girl and I with a broken heart... And with a broken heart and a pocket full of money, what do you do? You jump on-line and look for another! I found this truck on Craigslist, it's in Las Vegas, NV. We will be taking a trip this weekend to pick it up. Its a 1973 Cheyenne Super

Re: New 1973 Custom Deluxe Project.
Yes it does. I'm already on the lookout for one. My bro-in-law has a bumper for it and I'm in the process of getting the original grille from a board member. I haven't even seen the truck in person and I already have parts for it...

Yeah, I've been reading your posts on your steering problems. That sucks, but I'm sure you'll find a solution. I have a 73 subframe on my 62 and it steers the same way your truck does, not to sharp left turns. We were thinking that the pitman arm is not centered on the steering box. I haven't done anything to fix. I just try to avoid u-turns...and in parking lots, I try to make sure it's a "right turn" parking spot. I hope you get yours fixed..that's a bada$$ little stepside! ![]()

Re: New 1973 Custom Deluxe Project.
It's all surface rust. It's not rusted through anywhere. It's a desert truck from Vegas so the rust issues are very minor. Way better than the trucks I've seen here... ![]()

Re: New 1973 Custom Deluxe Project.
Cool! Glad to see another 73/74 on the board - the "special years"...
I think this is all a calculated plan to go to Vegas! ![]()
