Some of you know that I'm also into old Chevy's A few years ago I let my 1968 C/10 CST move on to a new home. After a year or so I got the itch again to have another old truck, I found a 1971 Chevrolet Cheyenne by accident on Craigslist. The current owner was in the process of parting it out, If I hadn't stepped in, Old Blue was headed to the crusher.
In November 2012, right after plow day.
The owner kept the 4-bolt main 350, and the exhaust manifolds, flywheel, most of the brackets...etc, but I was able to get the TH350 and the intake manifold that came with the truck.
Summer '13 found this 350 on craigslist, numbers make it a 69-7? something "010" block, correct enough for the truck.
Everything that was easy and common about these truck twenty years ago is now scarce as heck... it took months of digging, trading and e-baying to find all the correct stuff. But every last part is now correct to the truck.
One step closer, just found the proper air cleaner last week, and another set of exhaust manifolds.
So that's where we are at today, hopefully she will be running soon.
