The Cheyenne Super model is a rare truck model like mine (Bonanza). Plus with it being a Camper Special with a wood bed makes it probably even more desirable like my (Big10 but not wood bed). According to the VIN you have it states this.

i parted a 77 bonanza with power doors once a couple years back, was in a local towing yard, not very many ppl in this world know what a bonanza is, never know its a truck model, i only know of one other one, a guy at work drives it, a blue/white one, and i know of a couple cheyenne supers, but are beaters rusted out usual junk thats getting hard to find

Theres a bonanza 20 every day at work. I think its a 4*4 model. Its very clean.

What level of trim was a Bonanza? GMC or Chevy? I have only seen that once many years ago and can't remeber anything about it. Also have you ever heard of a Royal Sierra? A buddy had an 80 Sierra Classic, that wasn't all that optioned, but the dash emblem said Royal Sierra. Anyone seen that?

The Chevrolet Bonanza is a basic package that came with minimal options and frills. It was a sales promotional package in the late 70's,early 80's You can see my interior other than new gauges is still the same from factory. Mine has the chrome ring on the door panels. Also has power steering, brakes but no power locks and windows.

I have heard of the Royal Sierra. It is even more rare. I think it was also a package like a regulat Sierra that had a heavier tow package but not sure.

I think we somehow got off the original subject, witch was how rare is a CHEVY CHEYENE SUPER C/10 CAMPER SPECIAL. This truck does not have power win or locks but it has full chrome,WOOD LONG WHEEL BASE BED,350,power steering power brakes and a posi-trac. I would restore it if it is something rare or special. THIS IS THE ONLY TRUCK OF THIS YEAR I'VE EVER SEEN WITH A WOOD FLOOR THAT WAS A FLEET SIDE. [1974] Anyone else ever laid eyes on one?

Cheyenne Super was the name for the top of the line trucks for 73 and 74 models. Cheyenne Super was replace with Silverado in 1975. The wood bed is sorta rare option especially paired with the camper special (HD springs in the rear). As to adding value to the truck probably not that rare, in comparison to a 67-72 Cheyenne Super.
