My green and white 72 Cheyenne was stolen April of 2006 and never recovered, finally got around to starting over. It's a 1972 Cheyenne Super, 350/350 for now. Needs some minor cosmetic stuff and a carb rebuild (or replace if I feel lazy) and it will be a nice cruiser and eventually who knows...

Wow, that looks like a clean truck. Body doesn't look too abused from the pictures I can see. I really like the ochre / white paint combo. That should make a nice ride.

Plans right now are clean it up and drive it as it. I'm getting rid of the points and 2bbl and going with a 4bbl and HEI. Other than that it runs great, I took it to dinner tonight and aside from being a fat guy in the south with no A/C is was great. Here's a couple more from today....

Very very nice old truck. Looking at the interior picture makes me think it was either swapped in or dude who spec'ed out the truck when it was new was a Packers fan. I'd rock that thing as is, I think it's perfect.

I like it, I like it a lot. I'm with you, I'd do what was needed to keep it running and drive it as is.

That, and slam it would be my only mod for a while if I owned it.
