1973 Cheyenne Super 10

Here are the pics of the Cheyenne I bought in Kansas . It was a long drive home and gas mileage was bad to say the least . It was neat having people give me thumbs up all the way home . I have a few pics but since I am on dialup , I will post a few at a time . The truck has an awesome interior . I love the factory seat material . I looked it over and I am sure it is original paint and all interior is original . It has flaws but they are expected in a 35 year old truck . Here you go . These first pics were taken on the southern edge of Oklahoma . Beautiful scenery for a few miles .

That looks much better than the indoor pics. It may have some flaws, but doesn't appear to have many. You sucked up another time capsule Frank...:metal:

Last ones for now . The pic of the seat makes it look dirty and faded . The fabric condition on the whole seat looks like the pic of the seatbelt closeup . My camera wont capture the entire seat with enough detail to show it real condition . This truck really is a time capsule to 1973 .

I took several shots out the front window and every one has that chip in it. Frank

One surprise was the rear axle with Optional Axle Ratio ZN8 which one of the original papers shows 3.73 . I could have done with a 3.07 or so but that is how it was ordered . It also has a solid rubber rear window seal and it shows up on the SPID as Delete Rear Window M . On the window sticker it says Delete Rear Window Moulding . I thought that was odd .

Wow!

Nice truck!

I wouldn't change a thing.

Kind of ironic the original sale date was on August 10th, 35 years ago today.

Frank the more I see the pics the more amazed I am. That condition of this truck is totally amazing.

You mentioned in another post about changing wheels. I think this truck need a set of the factory alloy wheels. I can't remember exactly the years that they were available, but I bet Jeff or Chris can.

I' don't want to clutter up your thread with a pic. Take a look here so you know what I'm talking about.-Link

I'll find a pic so you know what I'm talking about.

Ken , I think I know the wheels you are talking about . They were also used on late 80's Suburbans . I should be getting a set in a day or two . They are clearcoated satin finish but I will polish them . I thought about them for the black truck until I get something better. For this one , I have thought about a set of L-78 15's on the original wheels . The hubcaps are pitted and I will have to replace them if I can find a nice set . The truck is nice . The pics help it a little but it is nice . I am in awe of the interior . No cracks in the dash at all .It is weird reaching for a shoulder strap and it not being there . Lap belts only . The lack of drip rails is another weird sight for me . The other neat thing about it is that our school colors (Caldwell, Tx ) are burnt orange and white .

Yes, those are the ones. I changed my post and added a link. They do look really good polished up. Stick them on this one beore they go on your black truck. They will set the black truck of nicely, but I think they might give this one a good look as well.
