Video: This ’72 Cheyenne Super 10 Is Nothing Short Of Spectacular

Richard Tierney of Spring, Texas and his beautiful ’72 Cheyenne Super 10 pickup won first in their class at the 2011 Houston Autorama, and it’s absolutely no wonder why! Let’s face it, old trucks are like old cars because they’re built with a sense of class that’s just hard to find nowadays. This is no less true of Tierney’s big-block powered Cheyenne, but in this case it’s an early truck custom that’s built with GM flare.

One of the highlights of Tierney’s Cheyenne is the candy paint that makes it a show stopper. A custom paint job done by Jason Winn of Winn’s Automotive in Magnolia, Texas, the color featured on Tierney’s truck is known as “Rattlesnake Pearl Green” with a white pearl.

The custom, frame off restoration of the rattle snake Cheyenne was also done by Winn’s Automotive of Magnolia.

Tierney’s hood is a custom made, cowl induction setup with a custom release from JBZ Customs of Tomball, Texas.

But for all of the eye candy that Richard Tierney’s pickup provides, it also has biceps to back it up. Under the custom cowl hood of Tierney’s Super 10 540ci Dart big-block, topped with Dart Pro 1 cylinder heads and FAST EFI, which he credits builder Scott Shafiroff for making possible. Of course, it’s all backed by a TH400 from Phoenix Transmission, and it’s chased by a GM 12-bolt posi rear with 3.73 gear set.

Inside, Tierney enjoys bucket seats with houndstooth and a custom console. Air conditioning is on board to make Tierney’s radical ride as comfortable as it is stout, and he has a few people to thank for making it possible. Among these are Jim and Zane Rowe from JBZ Customs, as well as Jason Winn of Winn’s Automotive.
