Nice work on a budget build so far. The paint buffed out pretty well.

**IronCanine** · 07-14-2020, 03:43 PM

Thanks for the pics! She's a real looker, shines up nice. What's the dealer badge on the cowl?

1956cameo · 07-14-2020, 09:02 PM

Thanks Guys!!

IronCanine, It says "Ernest Allen Ft. Worth". I don't have any pictures of the badge, but I will get one the next time i go to my dads. I looked them up and it appears they were in business until 2011, then were bought out by a competitor.

**IronCanine** · 07-14-2020, 09:39 PM

That's cool.

**68bowtie** · 07-14-2020, 09:48 PM

Very well done!

**raggedjim** · 07-15-2020, 09:01 AM

I like it very much! Keep posting the progress.

I picked up a 68 stepper recently and I am going to try to keep it simple. Unfortunately it needs a bit more rust repair than yours, but I think I could knock that out in a couple good weekends once the parts get here.

Good luck, Rg

I'm in for the rest of the ride!.Looking good by the way......

1956cameo · 07-17-2020, 04:58 PM

Thanks for the responses everyone! I'm hoping to have more updates next weekend.

Not much progress to report at this time. Mainly because I am waiting to see if the Pate swap meet gets canceled. I am holding my cash for that, but if its canceled then I will buy a bunch of stuff to continue progress on the Cheyenne.

Either way here are a couple more pictures. One is a close up of the dealership badge. The second is a mock up with bucket seats. I'm really just storing the seats in the cab. As much as I would like to go with this set up I cant. I have 3 kids and bucket seats are a no go because it means only 1 kid can ride at a time. Even the bench seat leaves a bit of a problem. Its not like the old days where the kids just pile up in the bed like when we were young!

Looking great so far. It's amazing how well the factory paint buffs out on these almost 50 to 50 plus year old trucks.

RCbowtie69 · 08-18-2020, 08:39 AM

Great build on budget,keep the pic coming & keep on truckin''

**lks dcvn** · 08-18-2020, 05:58 PM

How in the heck did I not know about this thread and/or that 1956cameo was building something cool again.

I followed along with your 'Left for Dead' blazer resurrection thread - count me in for this one as well!

Great work so far...

LT7A · 08-25-2020, 03:43 PM

That dealer badge is cool and it ties into the history. But the audacity of the car dealer running a couple of screws into the side of my new vehicle to mount a badge?!? I've only bought one new truck in my life and I would have popped a gasket. Now it's just a cool part of the authenticity.
