1973 Cheyenne Super 10

I never really started a build thread on this truck so here's one that goes back to the beginning and brings us to now...

I found this truck on a Craigslist ad that said "Make Offer". The truck was at a house that was about to be foreclosed in Las Vegas, Nevada. Most people would have looked away from this truck. Not me. I contacted the guy and got the truck for $200 in February of 2008. So we took a roadtrip...

Turns out this ugly truck had a few very cool things about it. It has a 350 in it, but after checking the VIN number, it came stock with a 454. Pretty cool for a half ton shortbed. It also has a factory tach, th400, and a posi 3.73(I later discovered 3.42's) rearend. Someday I would like to put a 454 back in her.
