Frame is lookin good. I still have a few things to do on mine.. I keep hoping someone will buy my boat so I can clear out a garage bay to bring in the frame and get to work on it.....

Coming along very nice, what lreaf springs did you use and how much lift please. I just got done blasting and painting my K20 chassis and I need to get Springs

Re: My last hoorah...1972 K20 Cheyenne Super frame off
 

I used Skyjacker 2.5 softride in front and used a 2" block in the rear... If you don't mind spending more money Alcan Spring is the way to go..just ordered a set for my K5 but the springs are about $1200 shipped but are by far the best ride.

Bottom of cab painted but I think it's a little light needs to be a little darker
Compared to the other k20 that I sold.

Re: My last hoorah...1972 K20 Cheyenne Super frame off
 

Looks nice. The color is a bit different. Could it be lighting?

Re: My last hoorah...1972 K20 Cheyenne Super frame off
 

Great progress on the truck, bottom of cab looks really good. Do you do the phosphate treatment yourself? If so is it a kit you bought somewhere?

Re: My last hoorah...1972 K20 Cheyenne Super frame off
 

I buy the chemical locally...glass bead the
parts to be coated boil water add the chemical
And soak them for about 10 mins in the boiling
solution..

Great and thank you I will check them out. Been wanting to do this on a few of the builds. I will need to give this a shot. Again thanks and keep up the great progress. Jim

Nice job on the black heat stove/exhaust manifold sheet metal. Black is the correct finish....I think. The 80 mile 70 being the best reference I've seen. I have never seen an NOS example or period color media that would corroborate or refute it...

...beautiful work in general on a great truck. Looking forward to more pics.

Re: My last hoorah...1972 K20 Cheyenne Super frame off
 

I think your right. Man it's going to be a pain to correct that on the Arkansas K10. :lol::lol: I h

Subscribed. Looks like this will be a great truck.

I’m using a kit from Casswell, it doesn’t require boiling and it’s a simple dip and rinse, then dip in an oil/solvent sealer. Super happy with it, identical to original finish, and very durable.

Re: My last hoorah...1972 K20 Cheyenne Super frame off
 

I'm following a Porsche build on YouTube...and the guy did all his own plating (varying finishes) with Caswell's stuff. And it looks fantastic. I have considered it myself...at least for certain finishes.

Here's a link if interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTup...02PUxw&index=2

A lot of good restoration techniques in this video build series beyond this particular episode. I'm always partial to the 'owner in the garage' builds.

Re: My last hoorah...1972 K20 Cheyenne Super frame off
 

I do all my own zinc plating with caswell products. Yellow, blue, black and olive drab. It takes a little practice, but once you get the hang of it, it’s a lot of fun. I do all my own plating except for chrome.
