Likewise Greg, you have some nice ones!

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

I was lucky enough to save this one from a pasture late last year

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

I heard from an appraiser the Orange is the number one color that is sought after for these 67-72 trucks. That short stepper will look great when you return it to it's glory, GOOD SAVE!

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

Good save is right. Hugger orange is my favorite color on a SWB step side.

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

That's good to know I wasn't sure on the rarity of the orange. I read that the pinstripe option was not that common

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

Thanks I had to hide my excitement when I read the spid that is was a super when first checking it out haha I plan on bringing it back to the hugger orange for sure

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

A short bed step side Super with air in Orange! Thats a rare truck. I just missed a short bed step side Cheyenne with original 402 factory black truck here in Nashville. Please post a build thread as you restore that truck if you haven't already done so.

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

Here what it should look like when your done. Yours is only the second short step Cheyenne Super I've seen..

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

I think you'll have a stunning and rare stepper there when you're done. D99 stripe is perfect on a stepper. And with the parchment interior, it will be gorgeous. Congrats!

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

sure would like to see interior pictures of that stepside. ihave stepside I am restoring with parchment interior. I assume It came with a headliner?

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

Ive never seen a super with a paint stripe. Thats pretty neat! And a short step to boot.

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

I don't have any pics il take a couple in the morning. Glovebox and door panels are in the woodgrain. Does have headliner but fell off so I'm conditioning it as we speak. I got lucky that nobody tried to put a CD player in and cut the dash up so it's intact. It didn't come with factory tach but I owned a 69 short step about 10 years ago and pulled that out before I had to sell it. It cleaned up really well inside so i lucked out.

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

I lied these are before I bought it when it was in the pasture still

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

With a BB it would be a cream of the crop. Approaching that regardless. Worth saying again.......NICE SAVE.

Tough to dislike step sides. Some months ago I had the opportunity for what appeared to be a REAL nice 71, one hour drive. 350 on a stick for 3k. It might be in the driveway hadn't I bought the 72 a month earlier.

I'd be tempted for a white top & letters on that truck. If it's a personal preference for appearance, IMO it wouldn't effect the value, other than maybe up.

I saw where some of yall were saying sierra grande's didn't have houndstooth. Here is the spid out of a 72 sierra grande I bought a few years ago. I also included a pic of the seat. It has houndstooth interior. This truck was all white also.

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

thx for sharing, I'm GMC-stupid, I have to admit. That's the first I've ever seen with houndstooth, but then again, I guess if I'm honest, I'm always lookin at Chevys. Any more Sierra Grande seat material data points out there?

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

Thats a wallpaper pic.

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

Bump.
Any more out there

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

Here is one on EBay now. Not to crazy about the way the rust on the roof looks on this one.

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

Another from EBay .Auction is closed now. Would be nice truck restored to original. It was built with lots of nice options from the factory.

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

3 - 1/2 ton with marker lights.
4 - real swb bucket seat truck

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

5 - Gotta love this one! SWB super with 350, 3 speed on the column, manual steering, manual brakes no A/C and radio delete.

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

Here is my 1972 Cheyenne Super 20 Camper Special truck. I still have the original 402/TH400 that came out of it. The drivetrain consists of a Cummins/5spd now. I replaced the smashed front bumper with a spare 1970 one and hid the turn signals behind the grill.

Strange interior color.

Love that color combo - ochre with olive interior.

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

Yeah, yellow and green. Match made in heaven

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

Looks better than one that was on ebay a few years ago- hugger orange with olive interior & it was listed that way on the SPID. Nice Cummins swap!

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

Here is my 72 SWB Cheyenne Super. 36000 miles. I'm sure it was said in the thread, but the only piece I couldn't find reproduced was the glove box door chrome trim around the woodgrain. Not all the houndstooth colors you see today are original either. I believe there were only 4 original houndstooth colors. Blue, white, and olive....can't remember the fourth. The 307 is no race machine, but I hate to mess with it. She still has the original two barrel. Would love to drop something in around 400hp like my old GMC LWB had. Anyway, great thread. 15x8 steelies on the way with chrome and blue dog dishes.

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

Nice truck, thanks for sharing. Only three custom cloth colors and you named em all (olive, blue, parchment). The tailgate handle brightwork is not available aftermarket (71 chrome and 72 stainless slip on).

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

Yep, forgot about that too. It's a bummer for those looking to reproduce. BUT, I am glad there are a few parts that prove originality. If this truck were OCHRE, it would probably be the last one I would buy.

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

Beautiful Truck. I would guess true Super or someone found you a true Super glove box door.

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

Before pictures, after are forthcoming:

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

Just to clarify my reply to your previous post, the stainless trim under the glovebox woodgrain is reproduced. The tailgate handle/handle sleeve is about the only part I have not seen reproduced.

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

Here is my 72 Cheyenne Super normal bed truck. Still a garage project, have not had the time to get back to it.

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

Thanks jocko. If i remember correctly, the 71 chrome tailgate handles are available in LMC and Classic Parts, but not the 72 sleeve. Where can i find a glove box trim? Thanks again.

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

My 72 longhorn Sierra Grande. Houndstooth seat

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

72 3/4t Sierra Grande. Original bench was recovered when I got it but I'm sure it was a houndstooth as well. I put the buckets in
