1974 Chevy custard deluxe

[LT7A]

Some assembly required; but at least you didn't have to take it apart, and you have access to detailing the whole rear portion of the frame. I think your name for it is a good one. And the plan for it sounds cool.

Interesting that they wouldn't describe it as a "HD front brake package" but instead call it a power brake option?

Your certainly correct I'm going to have my work cut out for me as far as finding decent original paint body panels but I'm in no hurry with this truck and I want it to be a fun "original" truck so to speak and I figure if I take my time I can find the right color body panels so the heat is on, haha. thank you for the feedback as far as the name and plan!

Yeah, the whole J-- brake thing has never made much sense to me anyway lol. Far more straightforward than Ford's nonsense though.

Well bit of an update, found a guy turning a 74 Cheyenne/30 into a mud truck , but because of him doing so I was able to trade parts and buy parts off of it since it has original ochre paint still, managed to get both Cheyenne door panels, upper and lower grille trim, parking light lenses, tailgate, and hood.. The truck also has a factory tilt column and I'm trying to persuade him that it's too fancy for a mud truck lol. But ingot the hood cleaned and installed... The hood didn't cost me a dime (unless you consider the price of gas involved) so I'm perfectly willing to live with the bad rust up front. Looking more like a truck.
