I am not sure when the truck came from California, but it does not much rust at all. It has a little bit in the kick panel area and a little spot on the firewall. I have seen a couple trucks with rust in this spot and was wondering if anybody knows what causes this spot on the firewall?

Material gets trapped behind the deflectors for the cowl and holds moisture in that location. Must have sat under a tree at some point in its life. We have that area to rust a lot here. It is not a hard fix, but can take a little time.

Trevor, this is our 5th 1972 Cheyenne Super. Too bad this one is not a BB like the other 4.
Stoney, It came from California a few years ago, but yes we bought it in South Texas.

As far as plans for it, I am not really sure. When we found the truck a few years ago I was looking for a daily driver sort of like this, but in the mean time I found the red BB shortbed and we also bought 2 shop trucks that we could not pass on. So more than likely I will soon put this truck and the other shop truck up for sale and on ebay. It would be nice to keep it but I have too many toys.

I'm confused

Why would you spend three years trying to buy it, just to turn around and sell it. And you can't have too many toys, especially if they're nice or rare.

Nice truck, and most of the time, the "lookin" is the fun part!

When we found this truck it was not for sale so in the mean time we bought Jason's driver which is a much nicer BB survivor. Then we bought a nice long bed BB Cheyenne Super to use as our shop truck but Trevor put us onto a hard loaded BB Longhorn. When this truck did come up for sale it was to desirable to pass and would rather have one of you guys own it than ending up Heaven knows where.
