Re: New Member- Just picked up a 1972 Cheyenne Super
Thanks everyone for the compliments. When I see it in the garage I can't believe I have this truck. It has original 350 but someone changed the valve covers. Block and intake are orange I think that was the stock color not sure. Does anyone know about the bed rails? I was told the were a dealer installed item but wanna ask everybody here. Again thanks for the compliments. I am very excited about this site and all the info that is on here. Also had a question about this valve on the heater hose. It this factory or did someone add it and what is it for?

Re: New Member- Just picked up a 1972 Cheyenne Super
Thanks everyone for the compliments again. I bought it in Houston TX. My plans are to keep it pretty much original. I will prob replace the engine down the road when it needs it. First I will do a full brake job then probably rebuild the front end. I would like to put some torq thrust 2 wheels on it.

Re: New Member- Just picked up a 1972 Cheyenne Super
What a great find. How is it that the seller of that truck isn't one of the members here??? Somehow got under the radar. I can't imagine anyone restoring one without help from this group here.

Re: New Member- Just picked up a 1972 Cheyenne Super
Welcome and nice truck. To answer your questions on the woodgrain, both the dash bezel and glovebox door are reproduction woodgrain vinyl. The dash was woodgrain vinyl backed by a thin layer of plastic to smooth out the dash to keep from getting air bubbles from the textured plastic underneath. The glovebox door should match your door panel woodgrain as they were photoetched as well and not wrapped with vinyl. Your fender has been replaced before atleast on the driver's side as the SUPER emblem goes below the Cheyenne portion of the Cheyenne 10 emblem, it's a common mistake during restoration. Houndstooth was not an option for bucket seats, but they do wear better than all vinyl bucket seats in my opinion. It hasn't been verified if the bed rails were just a '73 on up model piece or if they were available during 72. There was a different version pictured in the accessory catalog. I am in no way trying to knock on the truck. It is a very nice truck, just helping you out on some little details you were asking about.

Then you have to find and locate the small little vacuum line that runs to it and operates it. The way it works is that when you turn on the a/c with the interior controls levers pushed into the a/c position you re-direct a vacuum signal to that (missing) valve. It then shuts off the hot water supply into the cab-heater core in order to allow more efficient cooling from the in-cab a/c air....so your a/c will provide a cooler air charge at the vents. Do you have any more underhood photos? Very nice truck by the way....love the colours. I have nearly the same truck but a 'California' version and a long bed...same colours and options tho' but unfortunately no buckets. Beauty truck dude~!!!! nice score. Coley ![]()

In my opinion, definitely lose the chrome and put the stock valve covers and air cleaner back on.
The truck's whole character leans towards a near mint stock example, so seeing that under the hood as well would be in keeping with the rest of the truck. I would spend the time tho' and remove all the accessories on the engine, do a very thorough cleaning job, a quality masking job and redetail the engine with chevy orange, etc. Then while all the brackets are off (ps, a/c, etc) detail them in black. Easy fun weekend job...and complete 'value adder' to the truck as well as a great 'hoods up' look for the show and shines. My two bits and again....very nice truck. Coley

Re: New Member- Just picked up a 1972 Cheyenne Super
NICE find, I kind of dig it but I might be partial
![]() I personally like stock engine bays in mostly stock trucks. Here's mine, it's not perfect but I recently converted it from billet-ish and dirty back to stock, minus the a/c which is not finished.

Re: New Member- Just picked up a 1972 Cheyenne Super
The woodgrain door panels are OEM and included in the super package. I wouldn't paint those or if you do sell me yours and I'll send another paint appropriate set
![]() Any chance we can see a photo of the glovebox SPID?

Valve covers and air cleaner can be found in the classifieds here. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/forumdisplay.php?f=8
