Kris Schneider's1972 Chevy Cheyenne / 20 |
26 December 2004
From
Kris:
Here are pictures of my 1972 Cheyenne / 20. I paid a whopping $250 for the truck and drug it out of a field where it had been sitting since '91. With a friend's help, we had it running in a day and putting around the yard. This will be my daily driver once it gets registration on it.
The
truck has a factory 350/TH350, quadrajet and points, PS, PB, 4.11 rear gears,
steel bed floor and a lot of trim that was removed by the previous owner for
reasons I'm unsure of -- but it would have been removed anyway. I just need
to finish out the "speed holes" that the long-gone trim left behind. Eventually
planning on shaving the antenna, tailgate and door handles and adding a tonneau,
but there are other things I'd like to replace/repair first.
Currently
the truck is getting the EFI treatment with a TBI setup from an '89 Suburban
before it sees active duty as my daily driver. Future plans include IRS, a manual
transmission with overdrive and some custom tuning on the fuel injection. Going
to give the local Hondas and Mustangs a run for their money, that's for sure.
Check out my site for more information and pictures of the truck and related projects -- and my toolbox computer "the craftshiba."
