Out here in Kansas you see more Long bed trucks or Extended cabs than Short Wheel Base trucks on the newer vehicles. For the older trucks this is true also except for the extended cabs part. I've been looking for a 71-72 SWB Cheyenne for a long time now with no luck. After checking out E-Bay for a number of years I noticed most of them are from the Great Northwest, Westcoast or Southern Regions.....I guess most of the trucks out here were purchased for farm, construction, or pulling trailers/campers. Anyway it seems to be more difficult to find one here, a real one that is. Do you think this is so? If so I'm going to have to travel in order to find one which SUX. The other areas of the country they evidently were purchased more for their sporty style. What regions do you think of the country sold more SWB trucks back in the late 60's to 72? What do you think the reason was?
