Grandmother's Truck
 
The truck's been in my trailer for 4 months, and the weather was finally nice enough yesterday to take it out and put it in its new home - my garage. Glad it's finished! Here's a link to the complete restoration - start to finish: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=373187

Depending on the criteria for the month, you can nominate yourself or someone else can do it. VERY NICE!

Also, is the trim factory or aftermarket? How about the grille? If not, where did you order from? Thanks.

Very nice! I love the restored Cheyennes. I hope you get that truck of the month, that one definitely deserves it.

That looks like an incredibly nice truck. My oldest son and I restored my grandmother's 71. It was the only vehicle she ever bought or owned.

I bought from 2 places - LMC and Wes with Classic Heartbeat in Washington. I've heard horror stories about LMC but I have nothing but praise for them. However, Wes really knows these trucks and was a huge help, especially my door wood-grain trim. Those are the metal ones and Wes knows where to get them.

Thanks for all the compliments, guys. This has been a tough project from start to finish and I've learned quite a bit. I found most of my OEM parts here and stayed as original factory as possible. Even the A/C is R-12 freon and I have to praise Classic Auto Air of Tampa, Florida for rebuilding my original. Many thanks for a spectacular paint job by Custom Paint & Body Works of Oakland, Tennessee.
