1972 Cheyenne Super SWB Restoration
 
2 Attachment(s)
Decided to do one more! I bought this 72 Cheyenne Super about a year ago. and collected two pages of NOS Parts... the truck is mostly all factory original to include the SPID. optioned with the usual like air cond, power brake and steering, am radio, tinted glass, sliding rear glass and even rear leaf springs! but strangely no tilt.. my plans are a factory correct or as close as i can, body off restoration as it came from the factory with the exception of im adding tilt steering. im keeping the original colors orange/white two tone. and Parchment interior.
well im on my way to empty the wallet as they say!

Thanks for looking,
Coyote Dave
