I know, I know...everyone's going to say I'm crazy. I agree, I've never READ about a SS version of our trucks. No mention in owner's manuals, restoration kids, or anything. However, I did see a sharp looking '71 or '72 short bed fleetside when I was in college (this was mid '80's). I didn't know much then, so I didn't research it. It looked like a Cheyenne Super, but it had a big crome SS on the tailgate trim (where the Super would have the woodgrain) and chrome SS emblems on the fenders. The SS emblems looked just like the ones that came on SS396 and SS454 El Caminos of the day. At the time, I assumed it was for real. Since it was a girl that was driving it (ouch, I didn't mean for it to come out that way), I never thought she would have "customized" the emblems. I've never seen or heard of such a truck since then.
