Very interesting!

I did not know the vin was also on the frame. I will take a look there and see what I can find. The door and glovebox vin match so I am interested in what the frame is.

So this truck should have been a Fleetside, Longbox instead of a Stepside, Shortbox?

I do not think it is a Cheyenne Clone - the sticker does have it listed as one of the original options. Right now it just appears it was originally a 1972 Cheyenne Fleetside longbox.

Did they make Cheyenne Fleetsides 2 tone? This is what is confusing. People have indicated that it is painted correctly for a Cheyenne stepside but I have only seen 3 tone Cheyenne fleetsides. So it seem, to me at least, the sticker is saying 2 different things - Cheyenne Fleetside Longbox AND 2 tone Light Olive/Dark Olive (in that order).

The originality of the truck was not my major concern. I was just trying to learn a little more about it. When I purchased the truck I knew that it was stock - not a factory big block, custom wheels, pioneer system, and it certainly does not sound stock. My concern that is was a nice solid pickup that I could have fun with.
