Thanks fellas! Here are some recent pics. Jud the cab was moved back onto the frame before painting. Getting ready for the white coat....

Found a NOS set of "Pleasur-lift" Delco air shocks and the dash mounted controller/vacuum device....tempted to install just 'cause the controller looks so cool...

Here's one of the powdercoated 16.5 x 8.25 OEM wheels. Went with BFG ATs: 33x12.5. Tire options are really limited now for this size wheel.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

That shock kit is sweet! The cab and fender look awesome! Where did you get the tires from? It seems BFG only makes these twice a year these days. You'd think they'd sell more if they were available..............

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

those shocks are pretty flippin cool!

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

Thanks! Discount Tire set me up with the 5 BFGs on special order and it took maybe a week for them to arrive. For the time and cost invested, I'd look into the Wheel Vintiques 16x8 if I had to do it again.

Looking killer.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

Nice build! I somehow missed this one until now.

The older I get the more I like original rebuilds.

Can't wait to see this one finished. Hopefully I can see it in person sometime.

Thanks! Would be fun if we could go a NM get together...

Trevor - The body guys raised no issues at all with regard to getting the Imron and were happy to use it. It was less $$ than base clear. I'll ask them about what the wet sanding is like....

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

Nice looking truck.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

I'm watchin and learnin

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

I've heard it's a little harder to sand compared to automotive based paints but that's due to the rigidity of the paint it's self. 90% of semi's used to be painted with Imron for years for this reason.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

The body guys tell me that Imron isn't difficult to wet sand. It sure looks good fresh. Speaking of Imron, here's some more pics I grabbed today. Thanks guys!

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

The paint lines look good and seem correct as far as I can tell....a few dings on bed floor...

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

Also in the shop is a 61 Dodge 1/2 ton outfitted with a Viper drive train, and a hybrid frame with a late model Dodge 1/2 front and viper rear...those are Viper discs up front...and a Chevy SWB step in for a tune-up seen in the back.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

Thanks to Jeff (Chipflyer) for the updated SPID and new door jamb VIN decal! BTW - there are examples of chrome bumper trucks that were factory outfitted with front tow hooks...

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

Beautiful job from top to bottom!

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

Your paint looks awesome! The trucks in the shop look sweet too! I didn't know Jeff did the door jamb stickers, that's cool. I'll need to get one when I have him do my spid.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
 

It's really looking awesome! I look forward to seeing it with the stock wheels and caps on it.

Re: 72 K20 Cheyenne Super Build
