Hello from Springtown Texas
Hey guys!
Just picked up a 1973 Cheyenne Super 10 1/2 with a 454 The body is straight, paint is good for it's age. Had to get a battery, fuel pump, tranny seals, timing belt service and tune up, not bad for 350.00 though. pictures to follow. Glad I found this place! |

Re: Hello from Springtown Texas
Hey thanks for the warm welcome!
Add a new steering box to the repairs, should have some pictures to post within a week. I have the original brochure for 1973 and owners manual that was in the glove box....I thought that was pretty cool ![]() |

Re: Hello from Springtown Texas
As you can tell from the engine baypic, I need to gunk the engine.
Also I have discovered that it needs some brake work. The engine is running pretty strong, however I think the quadrajet needs to be rebuilt or replaced with a edlebrock or holly.....which carb would you guys suggest for this 454? model #and make? Any help is appreciated ![]() Also any idea where I might be able tto pick up another set of stainless steel hubcaps to match the ones on the truck? |

Re: Hello from Springtown Texas
Nice Truck!!!
If you are going to keep it stock then I am a really big fan of the Quadrajet. You might be able to find someone local to rebuild but when I lived in Ft. Worth...no such luck a few years ago. They are really not that difficult to rebuild BUT...the throttle shafts wear and that is there #1 problem when getting a few miles on them. I dealt with a guy in Wisconsin...Sparkys (414) 447-7500 who does nothing but rebuilds Quadrajets. Give him a call and I bet you will like the results. As far as hubcaps...Those are very easy to come buy...watch on this website as I see them quite often...Also...Ebay has those. Good luck! |
