"Relaspe" Short Bed Fever Is Back! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

C/10 King · 01-24-2010, 12:29 AM

Well I think everybody knows I can't pass a good deal, so when the phone rang last week, I knew I was in trouble. A 1971 cheyenne shortbed needed a good home. Having a soft spot for these pickups, the owner knew that I'd be right over to investigate, when he made me an offer I couldn't refuse and the fact that it had a wooden bed, the 71 had a new home. I'm sure it will be temporary (remember I'm a money whore!!!!!)
In the last 5 days the transformation has been tremendous. Most of the parts I needed I had in stock
