I got this rare jewel from DANTIP back in 2016. I drove it for about a year, then took it took a local body shop for metal work and new paint. After spending nearly 4 years in "paint jail", she was released a few weeks ago. It is not a frame-off job, but did get new trim, carpet and seat covers. Original short bed Cheyenne with 402/TH400, A/C, tilt and positraction. Truck was originally solid medium olive but I went with two-tone.

Thanks for all the positive comments! It's just a weekend cruiser. Paint job is OK, metal work is so-so. Engine and drivetrain are basically unrestored so I'll definitely be driving it.
Shane - I see you spotted the era-correct Auburn front plate!
