Hi all!

I'm Roger, live in Puerto Vallarta i Mexico. Bet some of you've been here to vacation or just came back from Spring Break! ;)

Well, anyway....Just bought a 1989(In US this model was canceled 1987 I think) C10 "Cheyenne". I believe the "Cheyenne" thing to be an equipment package.

Bought it from my well trusted mechanic after over a year of eyeing it in his shop. Sitting there all sad in a corner. Gave him and offer and after some discussion it was mine! Joy!
It is currently in pieces for a little overhaul. Rebuilt motor, brakes, suspension, new gasonline tanks, seats out to get new upholstery and soon will see new paint on it as well. Classic red/white.

I will probably have a lot of stupid questions for you guys but I hope you'll stand it. I'll buy you a beer if you're stopping by for vacation as compensation! ;)

Saludos!

Roger

Hi, thanks for the welcome!

I'll stop by the shop on saturday to check on things. Not much to show just yet. It's in pieces. Will see if I dare post some photos of it this weekend... lol

The Square Body is a pretty common work truck here, but few look anything special. Many in poor condition. If I see something Ill try snap a photo.

Hello Texas, Oklahoma, Montana, Arizona! I tell you I can't wait to get over to the shop and go through it all. Even though my mechanic is working on it now and I probably should keep my nose out if it... Saturday we'll have a few beers in his shop and make plans. Im intrigued to know more about the Cheyenne

That's a "funky" tailgate. It's kinda like a mix of squarebody and GMT400 right there :) Got any pics of the entire truck?
