And I could not tell if the firewall had the factory chalk writing on it. It looked like it did not. These things make me suspect if this truck is truly original, or a resto. Then there's the 396 vs 400 SPID. Any body see anything else suspicious? Also, the SPID says CST. The emblem says Cheyenne????

All that being said, it's still a very nice truck. But as always, know what you're buying (to best of your ability).

If I am off with these comments, someone let me know. I would like to be wrong on this one.........
Supers had WG on the cluster and glovebox Cheyenne's had it on door panels only. Only the super had an GB emblem. Most 71's and a few 72's listed CST for the cheyenne super option. And no telling what the spid listed for an engine 396 400 both were used. If you look at the emmisions sticker on the innere fender is reads 402 ci
