Finally! My Cheyenne is back on the road.

After sitting for a few years collecting dust, my 77 Cheyenne is back on the road. I'll save the details for our weekly "What did you get done" post. Here's some pics I took while we were out having quality time together.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Finally! My Cheyenne is back on the road.

that is a good looking truck! even if you dont drive it im pretty sure its a good feeling to have something that looks so good just sitting in your garage! the type of thing that makes you want to the door, open it, sigh, and be able to walk away with a bit of satisfaction.

There should be laws against trucks that purdy ...Seriously awesome truck, gives me motivation to get mine running again, then slowly making it look good.

Re: Finally! My Cheyenne is back on the road.

Ken, you know I love your truck so this isn't meant as a negative comment but why does the trim not line up from the cab to bed? Or maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me. . . .Anyways, glad u got her back on the road.

Cause it's a 77 Chevy. Nothing lined up on these old trucks. Actually it is better than it looks. In both locations the truck was setting on uneven concrete.


Thanks for all the kind words guys. It feels good to have it back on the road again....even if my trim is crooked...
