It's not an original 2 tone truck due to SPID says Red Orange, not White/Red Orange/White, but I'm very happy it was 2 toned.
The vents windows are chrome but for some reason were painted black.
All the body mouldings are original.This is a TRUE Cheyenne.
It's 90% ECE suspension. 2.5" drop spindles & 2" drop springs in the front. Drop 4" leafs with 2" Western Chassis shackles. I had the ECE shackles but they were only 1.5" drop. SPID says what for suspension? Also request a new ECE catalog & look at the truck on the cover!!!
As far as the rediculous comment of cab swap:SPID sheet, Cab VIN tag and frame have matching VIN... if they did VIN tag swap they did a hell of a job.This is not a collection of parts slapped together. I guess people just can't pick up the phone anymore. Thanks for all the info "experts"  |
Since I am considered an expert in SPID and option coding I would like to touch on a couple of your points. But my original assement, based upon the pictures provided, stands.

It does appear to be an original SPID for the year and plant.
All in all its a nice but modified truck.

The lack of a cargo lamp does generate questions since it is often missing during trim "upgrades". As such it has become a first go to point for many people.
The chromed ventilator frames painted black does indeed make them look like the base truck parts as well.
While your truck is a true Z84 Cheyenne it was not built with the B85 upper bodyside (belt) moldings it currently has. They would have been called out on the SPID as an added option. Even if the truck had been coded as a Deluxe Two-Tone they still would show as a seperate option on the SPID.
As to your suspension question, the truck was built with the optional G70 rear leaf spring suspension at the base spring capacity.
