Hi From NZ
Hi I’m Bob from New Zealand, I have a 77 Cheyenne fleet side short box that I imported to NZ in December 07. It’s from SO-CA and rust free and totally original down to the jack and wheel brace under the hood.
I have started to fix her up a bit and it is now in the paint shop for a full body repaint in the original burgundy colour. I will post pics as soon as I figger out how to down size them and then upload them, I may need help on that, I'll let you know.

Re: Hi From NZ
Welcome from Ontario Canada. I had relatives in Auckland and some other relatives in Christchurch. They are all deceased now though. My parent's went down for new year's '79. If I remember correctly my great uncle whom lived in Auckland lived by Mt. Eden?
You should really start a buildup thread that way we can all admire your truck during its progression and finishing. Keep those pictures flowing. |

Re: Hi From NZ
Thanks James, I also live in Auckland out west. Funny thing my old man came from Ottawa, jumped ship after the war in 1945 no relatives left there though.
I will start a thread tomorrow, still trying to work out the photo upload thing, just about got it.

Re: Hi From NZ
That's funny, my grampa left Auckland to settle in South Africa, then was promised a better life in the UK, then flocked to Canada in the late 30's as I was told.
