Re: Project Reno - 72 cheyenne rebuild

Some minor progress. Since the body shop has all but halted my build, I am now tweaking stuff that bothers me. I was having some clearance issues with the radiator shroud and steering box so had the shroud corners cut and welded.


I purchased some temp wrap to protect the o2 sensor wires as they are pretty close to the headers.

I also realized that when I made my heat shield for the slave cylinder, adjustment wasn't accessible from underneath the truck. So I removed and carved out some more metal so it can now be adjusted from underneath.

I picked up some flowmaster ball and socket exhaust fittings for my headers and plan to weld those on at some point.

Now if i could only figure a way to cover the clutch fork. Stock boots just don't do it. Tolerance it too tight.

Last but not least. I ran the motor today for about 20 minutes to make sure the fan cycled on and off. Everything is working flawlessly. I did notice after shutting her down that my oil gauge sending unit is leaking. Damn it.
More to come and hopefully it will be a finished cab.
