Which truck to keep?
I have to sale one of my trucks. One is a Red-Orange 1972 C10 Cheyenne Super SWB with AM/FM. The other is Red 1972 C10 Cheyenne shortbed step with working A/C. Both truck's are in similar condition and options. What do you guys think?

Re: Which truck to keep?
I'm biased, just like everyone on this forum. I'd keep the stepside. Fleets are everywhere!

Re: Which truck to keep?
I have to say step side, sounds like a more rare optioned truck.

Re: Which truck to keep?
I wouldn't sail a truck, it will sink.
If you are looking to sell one of those trucks, the short fleet will bring you the most money If they are in the same condition.

Re: Which truck to keep?
Technically, if it was sailing, it be sailing, not sinking. However, if you attempted to sail a truck, it would sink...unless, of course, you had some serious pontoon mods going on

Re: Which truck to keep?
If it's a "need a parking space" situation, I'd keep the Super. "Need Money!" situation I'd guess the Super would bring a bit more and send it down the road.
I wouldn't kick either out of my garage for dripping a little oil though.. |

Re: Which truck to keep?
I would sell the step side. The fleet super is more desirable IMO. If you ever get yourself into a bind again you will own the truck that will be the easiest to sell.

Re: Which truck to keep?
Definitely need pics. With no other info, keep the one you like best and sail -- er, sale -- no, make that sell the other one!

Re: Which truck to keep?
Thanks for everyone's replies. Here are some pictures. The stepside is currently lowered 3/4 with 20" wheels.

Re: Which truck to keep?
Swap beds and keep the Super Stepside. When you say "working air" I assume the Super has air, but not working?
If it don't, people love the aftermarket a/c units. Me personally, I'd keep Super and not switch anything, and deal with the a/c later. |

Re: Which truck to keep?
Just remember,its a lot easier to change beds than it is to change to AC.
Also, you could change beds before you sell and have a short fleet with AC |

Except they both look to have nice - but different color- paint jobs. That throws that idea

Re: Which truck to keep?
Thanks for the pictures. Keep the Super. That must have come with A/C, right?
