A Truck That I Have My Eye On

[71 super]

Looks like it could be a super, but it also looks like it has been repainted and some changes - pieces taken out door trim and cluster replaced- only way to tell is build sheet or spid label and if the glove box trim is still in place as well as the headliner as mentioned before. The deluxe and super emlems have a different spacing relative to the upper emblem as per the build manual- the super is closer to the top emblem and generally people who don't know place the passenger side emblem in the wrong location- "S" of super located near to center on the passenger side.

I didn't know to look for the headliner. I will check the next time that I go to inquire about it in case he doesn't call me back. I left my name and phone number, hopefully he will call me back.If not, I'll just keep going back until I get an answer one way or the other.

I mainly wanted to know what I should be looking for to make sure that the truck is what the emblems on the fenders say that it is, since I'm not really that familiar with this generation of GM trucks. Most of mine have been 73-87s, which I'm very familiar with. I just want to make sure of what this truck actually is, since any number of things could have been changed over the years.

I want to make sure that the owner doesn't present it as something that it isn't just in case he is willing to sell, and knows more than I do about this generation of GM truck. I needed some expert opinions on what this truck either is,or could be, so I wanted to get the expert's opinions. This board is great for finding out this kind of stuff!...Joe

Oh, yeah. The original color was red,no trim as far as I can tell. It has a very old black paint job on it. Looks like it may date back to the 80s. ...Joe
