I'd mentioned in another thread that I daily drive (in the summer at least) a '73 Chevy K10 Cheyenne pickup truck. Rather than cluttering up that thread, there was enough interest that I decided why not just create a thread about my beloved truck.
This truck isn't new, I've had it for a while. I've just never posted about it because this is a TJ forum of course. I didn't do most of the work to it either. I bought it from a guy who built it in California.
It's a rust free truck and it's in very good shape. It's by no means a concourse quality car, but it's a very fine example of a driver car (which is what I wanted). In addition, it's got the Cheyenne trim with marina blue / white two-tone exterior and a blue interior. This is my favorite model and color combination ever offered on these trucks.
Here's a list of what's been done to it:
• Blueprint 396 Stroker Crate V8 Engine
• Holley Sniper Electronic Fuel Injection with Hyperspark Ignition
• 700R4 Transmission
• 12-Bolt Rear with 4.10 Gears and Posi-Traction
• Hedman Headers with 3-Inch Dual Exhaust
• Power Front Disc Brakes
• 4-Inch Lift Kit
• 15-Inch Wheels
• 33x12.50R15 Tires
• Dual Exhaust
• Factory Air Conditioning
• Tilt Steering Wheel
• Alpine Bluetooth Sound System with Door Speakers and Hidden Subwoofer
The vehicle is clean as can be on the underside and has been very well kept. I only drive it in the dry weather so it doesn't have a chance to rust.
The dyno sheets show it putting out 500hp and 500tq at the crank so she really gets up and moves as you can imagine. With the long tube headers and dual exhaust it really sounds great too.
I don't have too many plans for it. The only immediate things I plan to do are get the Holley RetroBright LED headlights, some custom gauges from Classic Instruments, and some rear disc brakes. Aside from that there isn't much to do to it which is why I bought it to begin with. The previous owner built it exactly the way I would have.
Anyways, I've always had a thing for square body Chevys so I figured I'd make this thread for those who might be interested.
