1972 Cheyenne Super 20 on the way home
1 Attachment(s)
great news today for me,my 72 big block Cheyenne Super has FINALLY left Utah on it's journey to Nova Scotia.i bought this truck last year but with the border closed between Canada and the US,i couldn't go get it.the border is still closed and no telling for how long,so it's on it's way to Maine,then i'll have some fancy foot work to do with a border broker to get it over the line.once it's on the Canadian side,i can go get it with my other truck and trailer,however the border here between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia is closed from a flare-up in covid cases.i need to drive across New Brunswick to get to the Canada/US border,so it's not over yet but at least it's heading east.can't wait to get my hands on it.

Congrats on finally making some forward progress on getting your hands on this little beauty.
I am so over this Covid-19 and lockdowns that haven't slowed this virus down. |

Congrats Greg, it is finally headed in the right direction. A bit of progress in spite of the virus.
Hope you get your hands on it soon, it's been a lengthy process. You're a patient man! |

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super 20 on the way home
Awesome news!
I’ve been having to source a lot of parts from south of the border too instead of just coming across to get them, hopefully sometime soon things get better. Things at Napa in the US are 1/3 of what they charge us in Canada! |
Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super 20 on the way home
It's been a nightmare. I won't get into the politics but I live close to the WA border and usually use a mailbox service in Point Roberts. I get free shipping because it is the USA and I just pay sales tax to bring stuff in. UPS and FedEx have been surcharging me all year. You get a quote for shipping of say $50. You pay it and three weeks later you get a new bill for "extras" I can't wait to drive down like normal again.

Very cool truck and quite the story you'll have once you've got it home. Count me in on the pictures and write up of what you do to get it back on the road.

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super 20 on the way home
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

Re: 1972 Cheyenne Super 20 on the way home
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.
