Nice find! Worth the wait. Can't go wrong with a clean original ex camper hauler!

If you aren't too far from the province to province border, I wonder if you can go there and find out if they will pass the vehicle through by itself. Then all you need to do is find a forum member to pick it up from the broker and drive it across New Brunswick and hand it off. A long shot maybe, but not unheard of. Especially if you have some parts they need ;) |

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super 20 on the way home
Hi guys hope everybody is doing well.i wanted to give a little update regarding my 72 truck that had left Utah on April 24th heading to Maine,arrived in Maine at the Canada/US border on April 27th.the borders are all still closed and the truck is still in Maine.i had hoped it would be here long before this or I could go to Maine and get it but nothing is open.things are getting better quickly and on tonight's news,they announced that it was looking hopeful for the borders to re-open June 21st so we'll hurry up and wait, see what happens in the next couple of weeks. All the best.Greg

Thanks for the update, Greg! I had been wondering.... Must feel a bit like a kid waiting for Christmas, seems to take forever to get here.

What an adventure. Just think, it's part of the story you can tell about the truck going forward.

1972 chevy cheyenne super is finally home.it only took about 8 months?it actually made it home a couple weeks ago but i had some computer problems so i couldn't load up the pictures although i had some on my phone but i'm about as hi-tech as a turnip so no clue how to get them from the phone to here?one of these days i'll figure it out but right now trying to make up for the 25 years of storage that this truck endured.i'm finding lots of stupid things wrong but easy fixes and nothing serious.i'm still trying to figure out why there's a 6 inch spike in the stifter linkage??all in all,a super solid old truck with 74,000 miles,built in Freemont,Ca,sold new at Hoffman Chevrolet in City of Industry,Ca.i'll be doing brakes,new tires,changing all the fluids,rebuilding the carb,changing a bunch of hoses and on and on as well as trying to find what's left of the original paint.stay tuned.

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super 20 on the way home

Glad it made it home! :chevy: |
Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super 20 on the way home
thanks,i'm glad it finally made it here too.it was a long time coming.that other car is a 39 Chrysler i'm building.i have a thread about it in the alternate tinkerings section i believe it's called.there some of the story there and pictures of the progress i'm making on that.i went to pick up the floor sections i had made at the sheet metal shop today,they were closed early?? anyway that's where i'm working now,trying to come up with something that looks like a floor.take care.Greg

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super 20 on the way home
That truck is a survivor man, almost completely intact, and has clearly been on a dry shelf for a long while.

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super 20 on the way home
Hey Greg, glad you got some pictures posted on the board! I'm amazed you were able to find such a nice clean well-equipped original truck. Looks great!

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super 20 on the way home
Hi Tony,thanks.i have had a bunch of these trucks,never one like this.the more I work on it,the more things I find that are just plain cool,paper tags on parts,original,I think,Power beam headlights,spiral rear shocks and on and on.it's going to a blast getting this up and running again.wrong carb and no hubcaps but I'll find some. Take care.

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super 20 on the way home
Yes sir Mike.i was very lucky to find it.the nephew of the original owner was left the old homestead in Idaho,where the truck was,in a building for 25 years.i spoke with him on the phone in Santa Ana,Ca.he told me he was going to pull the truck out and send it to the scrap yard.i'm awful glad he didn't and it ended up here.all the best.Greg
