72 chevy Cheyenne Super or 69 CST

[gcm]

The purple colour glove box is the 69 CST the colour was a one year deal by gm Canada for the royal visit from what I was told. But has no a/c.

But the Cheyenne is just so cool so which do you think is the better buy? Price is same but I am wondering which is a smarter buy?

There's a super custom on kijiji bronze white that looks like a good deal in St. Albert it's twice the money but it looks like it might be a better buy then the other 2 you listed. Option wise the Cheyenne looks as though it would require a lot of work if you want it back to full Cheyenne options that Chrome etc etc is very expensive to replace new. The 69 doesn't have discs up front keep in mind so another expense if you want them. Just my opinion.

I didn't see the other Cheyenne you were talking about the one from St Albert

My mistake it's spruce grove. It's a custom super /white bronze white. Black interior possibly a highlander..my 72 super custom is a highlander. It's listed as Edmonton but it's actually spruce grove. Look pretty clean from the pics.

Google 1967-72 gmc for sale Alberta and it pops up about half way down the page.

Oh ok thanks I was trying to see Cheyenne Super or this CST would be the rarer one. I have a tone of parts and body places for a 67 to 72 trucks so the body work would be somewhat easy it's mostly the high trim levels and things like rare options like a/c or odd cool colour is what was looking at.

I really wish of Engineering was a big block or something lol

[Leonard60]

And don't forget the Canadian pink one

Oooo Alberta black gold you still have that on?

[Leonard60]

Nope but I know who does. It's a few miles out of town still working on a feedlot.

Oh my god will they sell it to me? Unless you want it or getting it. My number is 587 576 3825 text me please if you find that easier then here

[Leonard60]

I'll ask the guy next time I see him he's only a few miles out of town where I live. It's still out on the farm buts it had a tough life but who knows he might let her go. If you remember the trucks, they were to commemorate Alberta's 75th Anniversary there were lots of them around gold top gold centre strip gold strips on the hood and rest was painted black. They were a real beauty. I rember the ad. Black gold strike up a deal gold interior

Hmm. 72 Cheyenne Super, a Purple 69 CST, or a square black gold thingy... Seems like a no brainer to me. If you REALLLLY like purple, I agree that is the most rare - but you gotta really really like the purple. The Cheyenne Super will have more "standard" upgrades that are part of the trim package (headliner, wood dash and gb trim, etc, bright tailgate handle cover (not that I'd buy a truck solely for it's tailgate handle cover...) and so on. But a CST is no slouch either - it was the top of the line trim in 69. The SPIDs are comparable, even though the 69's appears more full of stuff. I don't see them as all that different, option-wise. Sooo, it comes back to this basic question I believe:

What do you want more, and actually rare purple CST or disk brakes on a slightly more common but still top of the trim 72 (in a great color combo)?

I know which one I'd choose. Well, hmm, maybe I don't either! TOUGH one.

Ya that is a hard choice for me also the CST is in much better shape body wise that is and honestly the two colours I like on cars or trucks most are canary yellow first then a nice bright purple. And as far as restoring and kind of upgrading the breaks to disk breaks wouldn't be an issue to me. Of course I'd keep the factory drum breaks but up grading things like breaks I think most people wouldn't blame me for it.

Well, with those two things in mind, this seems a no-brainer! Many would have an issue getting past purple, but some love it. Being in the latter category yourself, the better body to boot seems to make this an ideal deal for you. Enjoy that CST and show us some more pics when you get it.

Not to mention, well I guess I'm mentioning it, the 69 books out a lot higher than the 72.
