So what was your first 4-wheel Drive (add your second, third, etc as you see fit).

Mine - '65 Jeep which was also my first vehicle, followed by a 75 Ramcharger, then a 83 CJ, then a '92 Suburban, and now the H2. Plus and minuses all the way around but all were and have been fun, fun, fun...

1973 Chevy Cheyenne 1/2 ton shortbed pickup.

It had a 350/TH350/NP205 combo, and I lifted it 4" and ran 35x12.50 Mud Kings.

That truck was awesome, and went just about anywhere. I wish I had kept it.

Damn Hummie, your past vehicles reads like my wish list!

You didn't buy your '73 Chevy new, did you?

Were the 58 and 57 GM 4x4's conversions you did, or were they Napco trucks? I LOVE the look of those trucks. My uncle has a '56 years ago that he had swapped a 350/4speed into.

Mike...

Both the the 57 and 58 were Napco conversions. The 58 was really a sweet truck. Short bed, straight 6 and 4 speed. Of all the trucks it was my favorite, wish i still had it. The 57 was a long bed with a winch off a duce&half. My dad bought the 73 new and i bought it from his estate when he died. I put a 4" lift, mudders, Hickey fender flares and Warn winch on it while I had it. Still got the winch under my work bench, its going to find a home on the H2.

Wow, you had TWO Napco trucks! My understanding is that those trucks are very rare nowadays and worth a few bucks now.

Do you have any idea how much that 73 cost new?

Just wondering. I had a 73 Chevy too, and I was wondering how much it went for new. I had mine setup like your. 4" lift, 35" tires. I didn't bother with flares though. It was a shortbed with a 350/TH350/NP205. I really miss that truck, I kick myself for getting rid of it. Only consolation I have is that those trucks are still all over the place and cheap, so I'll be able to get another one eventually. I plan on a K5 Blazer the 2nd time around, preferably a 73-75.

The 73 was a K10 Custom Delux 4X4 , Longbed, 350, 4speed. My dad paid $3495 for it. It was the one advertised as the bait. It looked pretty plain in amoungst the Silverados, but had everything dad was looking for. If I remember correctly Silverado 4X4s were about $5K in 73.

I do remember I was only making $5/hr as a diesel mechanic in 1973, so all things considered.....

Yeah, I guess everything is relative. My grandfather paid just over 2k for a brand new '55 Chevy, but then again, he was only making a little over a dollar an hour.

Thanks for the info.

Mine was a Cheyenne. It had the aluminum trim around the back of the cab and luxury options such as heat and a headliner, lol.

I lucked out buying it though. Turns out it had 3.73 gears, when the standard gears were 3.07 (yuck!). It also had the part time 205 case rather than the more common full time 203. From reading the four wheeler mags, I've since learned that the TH350/NP205 combo is ultra rare in the early trucks. Apparently most of the 205's came with 4 speeds, and most of the autos came with 203's.
