Found this 1974 K10 Cheyenne super posted up on the marketplace this weekend. I can’t resist and orange and white Cheyenne so I went and got it.
Truck still has 1979 plates on it that were stickered up to 1983. As far as I know the truck has sat in a barn since. Cluster says 60k could be accurate or rolled over but only 9 years of work life is a short one. I was not the finder. Here are a couple pictures with years of dust on it.



So here’s a couple pics of hauling it home. First one is where it sat for the last year


Loading it up

Swapped some white spokes on it cause the tires were shot

Had the day off so I spent some time stripping the interior of rodent messes. Ripped out the terrible buckets seats. I did toss a factory steering wheel on also. I’ll get more pics with the wheel and a ok bench seat
So fresh and clean.....still wet lol


Floors are nice


Motor has been robbed of some things. Hopefully it’s still free. I’ll pull it out and make sure

 

[HINZ28]

Yes as seen in a few pictures. It has a sunroof....or had. It blew out. Just tonight I picked up a whole roof. Will be re skinning it

Looks good. Reminds me a lot of my 74 k20. Similar story on finding it.

Heck of a steering wheel in there.
Looks pretty clean on the bottom?
I hope it's not as rusty as the last one you dragged home.

haha which one? Both blazers were pretty bad. This truck is not that rusty! I’d consider it really clean for Iowa/nebraska truck

For now it’s just get it back on the road!

 

[beags86]

Would be pretty cool to get this restored and built just like your other one to have them match.

 

[HINZ28]

Working on a bonded title for this. Once that is finalized there is a plan for this truck!

 

[warrpath4x4]

ya I dont blame you for swapping steering wheels lol

 

[76zimmer]

A true barnfind and save!
Cool stuff

 

[HINZ28]

Bonded title has been completed. That’s a good feeling!

 

[fear_nothing]

Keep the pics coming. That steering wheel was truly something... save it for your go-cart build

 

[HINZ28]

Rolled it off the trailer....it’s in the garage. I guess we will see what I decide tackle first

 

[HINZ28]

Had to pick up a parts truck for @78SWB is the reason it lost its trailer spot lol

 

[HINZ28]

One parts truck always leads to another parts truck. Got this stupid cheap. Good running 305/Th350/np208. Plan is to clean this frame up a little then toss the 74 Body on it.

 

[HINZ28]

Power washed and used my power washer sand blaster on the frame. It’s not perfect, started painting and undercoating it. Rails I used rubberized undercoating and axle parts and around other parts I just rattle canned. Tossed on some rally’s and 33s also
Took picture with my new iPhone 11+ pro.
