Well I am into the project pretty far, but it's never too late to start a thread. This is gonna be my 72 Cheyenne daily driver. It is a shortbox fleetside. Hopefully it will be primered soon. Have new box sides and a nice front clip, too. I am going with hugger orange and white two tone. Has a 70 402 with 65-67 396 heads. Turbo 400. 12 bolt with 3.08 posi(for mileage). Need to install the posi still. Have a set of buddy buckets to restore still, tach set up is ready to go, restored truck tilt, and then just need to buy a few misc parts, but it's on the downhill side now. The rocker is ready to go on, but I'll have to have my brother weld it since I'm back in school after spring break. Here's a few pics of the truck in its current state and some of the patches welded in.

No pictures, but the frame is completely done. Motor and tranny installed, new shocks intstalled, exhaust hooked up, and the body is about ready for priming. I will get some pics once I am home for summer vacation from college. I am very blessed to have parents that like to work for free.

Now this is a great build... subscribed!

**68350** · 06-09-2010, 10:31 PM

Here's a few updated pics. Gonna order my wood box kit tomorrow. Forgot sealer, so thats why the interior is still in primer. Motor and tranny are ready to go. Will have more pics when more painting is done.

Here's a few from today. Getting close and I can't thank my parents enough for the time and work they've done on this pickup. A few things to do still are:

Put trim on
Paint tailgate
Redo Buddy Buckets
Finish Interior
Buy Wheels and Tires
Get glass installed

red69ss · 11-02-2010, 06:32 PM

wow! that thing is coming together nicely, who's doing the paint and bodywork?

**67cheby** · 11-02-2010, 06:46 PM

wow nice work all in one day.... I am impressed !! lol

**68350** · 11-02-2010, 08:50 PM

We do all of the work; paint, body, interior, assembly, etc. The only thing we don't do is machine work and differentials. Thanks for the compliments guys.

**68350** · 11-07-2010, 10:33 PM

A few crappy cell pictures...

Had to take the fenders back off to do the door trim. The door color looks off because it hasn't been buffed yet like the box. The trim from Mar-K is TOP QUALITY!

No Regretz · 11-09-2010, 12:04 AM

this is looking fantastic, looks like you got some supportive parents wish i had the same situation. lol looks like you got a nice set up to. how do you do the painting, just paint gun and compressor

**68350** · 11-09-2010, 02:39 AM
