Every time you just about get the 80's behind you then up pops....

Interesting.

Looks to be handy if you haul fertilizer...put an appropriate shop logo on it and roll.

It would be great for hauling bulk plastic peanuts or tennis balls.

Wonder if he has a SPID? Looks kinda plain for a Super-no dash woodgrain, no a/c, no tilt, etc. It's a nice truck no doubt, just not sure it is a Super.

Looks like one from northern tool sells. I put one on my "90" flatbed last fall..

It's my understanding the "Super" could be ordered plain Jane if so desired ...
I might be wrong with that thought though.

Yes, but it would seem unusual not to at least have the woodgrain on the dash. I could see no tach, a/c, or tilt, but thought you always got the woodgrain on the dash. Looks like a clean truck and well done, but if it's not a Super he shouldn't say that it is. I'd like to see the SPID.

Was trying not to do this but...
A Cheyenne Super was only a trim package with gauges it did not include anything like tach, tilt or A/C. They remained options over and above the cost of the Cheyenne Super trim (YE9). As was the two-tone paint.
So it is possible to find a stripper, solid paint, no rear bumper, I-6/3OOT Stepside Cheyenne Super but not very likely. Typically it is seen on mid-level and higher trucks often that, if priced out, had options costing 50% or more above the truck's base price!

Consider that a CE10734 was $2795.90 and a "Super" was $349.00 more and you can see how easy it was to nearly double the price on a "loaded" truck.

This truck in question has many shall we say "variations" that give doubt to its original build. The missing cargo lamp is a biggie along with the interior wood on the dash. Without these, the insulation and seals its not a Cheyenne Super by the book. The roof paint is incorrect too by the way.

Pretty much, seems like a lot of the truck magazines from then and the 90's had a tilt bed on the front cover

... along with side tilts, platform lifts and spinning beds.
