Re: eBay Cheyenne Super -- Another Fake SPID
Beautiful truck. Chipflyer could make a perfect SPID for it, problem solved there. I would want to see the vin plate to verify it hasnt been altered and has the correct rivets for legal purposes. Obviously a large purchase like this would require me to see it personally. The Cheyenne and super badges look correctly positioned in the picture.

Therefore to be a real SWB 402, the VIN tag must be correct, the dual-exhaust brackets must be properly riveted to the frame (the passenger side rear may either be bolted or riveted but the other dual brackets are riveted), the frame must have a partial VIN that matches the VIN tag the cab must have the high floor-hump, the heat shield must be fastened to the cab to protect the cab from the passenger-side exhaust manifold/pipe, and the frame has to be un-cut. It's my experience that MOST SWB big block trucks are not original. I'd be willing to bet this one is not authentic. Any takers? Last edited by DANTIP; 03-03-2015 at 04:06 PM. |

Re: eBay Cheyenne Super -- Another Fake SPID
The reason the maximum and front end gross weights are the same is due to the HD suspension and tires. You could order a 350-powered truck and get those weights. Therefore, a big-block 1/2-ton MUST have those weights, but a small block truck COULD have them. Small block trucks with these weights are very unusual (especially SWB trucks). The VAST majority of faked big-block truck builders either don't know this or they assume a future buyer will not know it. I'll bet the Ebay truck doesn't have the dual-exhaust brackets or the high-hump. Great looking truck but not an authentic truck as advertised!!!

Re: eBay Cheyenne Super -- Another Fake SPID
There are fake SPIDs and there are new or replaced SPIDs. Fake would be one that makes the truck appear to be what it was not originally. A new or replaced one will be just that. Something you need to do when you pint the glovebox door. Does recovering a seat make it fake? Fake is in the intent of the seller

If someone has purchased a "new" or "replacement" SPID there is absolutely no way of proving that what they had placed on SPID is accurate or true, because the factory did not print that SPID but you are going on the word of the owner only. Even if the owner did not intend for it to be fake that doesnt change the fact that the information is fake and incorrect. Was the seat cover in the original style like the truck came with from the factory or did they "upgrade" it to a more fancy or more desirable "deluxe" style of cover? Just my opinion though Last edited by HeavyHauler; 07-07-2020 at 11:59 AM. |

Re: eBay Cheyenne Super -- Another Fake SPID
I still say these restoration guys should pull the original glovebox door and save it for documentation.
Paint up a second door with a new "chipflyer" SPID, for the restored truck. That would solve alot of issues, unless you are trying to decieve someone.

Nice truck but why put repop side marker lights on such a nice restoration and one of the options is listed as Leather. A little more education on the sellers part wouldn't hurt.

Re: eBay Cheyenne Super -- Another Fake SPID
That's exactly what I always did/will do. I found out about blank SPIDs and how to remake good ones while voicing concern about keeping the SPID and glovebox door original while doing a nut and bolt restoration

Re: eBay Cheyenne Super -- Another Fake SPID
If you actually believe a legitimate restorer would sell his vehicle on e-bay I have some beautiful Oceanfront property you might be interested in. It's in Kansas.

Re: eBay Cheyenne Super -- Another Fake SPID
Agreed. SSTim taught me that, whatever happened to that dude? I didn't alter the new SPID to match some changes under the rebuild, and I don't know why anyone would short of deception.

Re: eBay Cheyenne Super -- Another Fake SPID
Sure is nice. I for one would not recognize the discrepancys in the spid. For instance: which one is the leather option, or how do you tell the reflecters are aftermarket? You guys sure have a "Reenokeen" eye!

The SPID itself has the wrong font, not a good reproduction. The reason I pointed out the cheap marker lites is if they scrimped on that what other cheap parts did they use. If I was considering spending big money on this one I would go over it with a fine tooth comb before making an offer. Just my opinion.
