Accumulated parts will finally be used.. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sameyrasmea72 · 06-07-2006, 12:17 AM

I have been hanging around here the last few years, mainly trying to learn more about these trucks, but hopefully helping someone else out ever now and then. But now I will be needing lots of help.

Yesterday, I bought my next project. it’s a one owner 72 ,½ ton, Cheyenne super 402 mustard and white. The PO recently passed way and I happened to be in the right place at the right time to get the truck. It has 97k original miles and is in great shape. The only rust I have seen is on the battery tray.

The interesting part is that it has the original title dated 6-13-72 ( late production date I’ am guessing) with the previous owner of Longhorn Chevrolet in Wichita falls. And today in the glove box I found the protect-o-plate.

I am sure I will have tons of questions in the future, but I will start with this one. I thought the vin #’s on these trucks started with just CE, but this one has a CCE. Does the CCE seem odd or am I just confused?

I don’t have any pics yet, but I will post a couple of my last(been awhile) project just cause I know you guys gotta see something.

In 72, GM added another letter to the VIN, Chevrolet recieved a C and GMC got a T.

That`s right,before that there was no way to tell a Chevy from a GMC in the VIN#.Kinda odd,ain`t it.Considering there was already locking ignition/steering in cars since`68.Not too worried about truck theft,I guess.Ah,it`s justa truck,right?
BTW,great score!

shelby987 · 06-07-2006, 10:26 AM

yeah, I think something might have been overlooked from the original post, he said its mustard and white.....the truck in the pic. is black....

silvertonguedevil · 06-07-2006, 02:27 PM

He was just showing pics of his last project because he didn't have pics of the new score.

Which, by the way, that black truck is awesome! I hope you still have it!

Here are a couple pics of the new project. That is if I got them the correct size to post. Thanks Longhorn man and special-k for clearing up that vin ?.
and to the rest for the other comments on my black truck.

Unfortunatly, I sold her awhile back(corvett fever)and have been kicking myself ever since. Hopefully, I get this next one in about the same shape before to long. need to start by finding a short frame.
