Keep my 68 c10 or trade for cheyenne super lwb + 1?

I'm considering trading my 68 for a 72 cheyenne super it comes with another 72 lwb, both complete. The 72's are kinda rough but are complete. I'm wondering what advantages there are to a 72 super over my 68 and what mine is lacking over a 72 super. I know the super has factory air, pb, 5 lug disks, and all gauges on dash, but is there anything else i'm missing? I'll post pics of the 72 tomorrow, but there are pics of my 68 in my profile. Also what motor did the 72 super come with from the factory? Thanks for the help and opinions. I've invested 5100 total in the truck.

The Cheyenne package and Super packages are two different levels of trim. I have seen a Cheyenne Super with idiot light dashes. Gauge panels, radios, bucket seats, houndstooth seat covers, tachs, and tilts are all options that could be added. I believe that the only option that was availible for the Cheyenne and Cheyenne Super only was the houndstooth seat covers. All of the others were availible to the other trucks. WES

i would keep the 68 and just change the brakes over to 5 lug power discs! but ive always have liked the 67-68 front end best. is your 68 a short bed cause if it is i would totally keep yours!

I can't imagine trading a nice swb truck for two rough lwb trucks. For me to even contemplate a trade they would both have to be big blocks or something to make them really special besides just being Cheyennes....

Unless you need the 8 ft bed for work or something, I would definitely keep your 68! Plus what ever options you wanna add are usually pretty simple. Good Luck.
