292 Cheyenne Super? Do they exist

[Richard]

The v8 was just an option. Looking at pics of posted spid's you will see the v8 listed if present. So yes they exist. Have seen a few come up on the site.

Yes, but as two separate RPOs. Cheyenne Super and optional engines RPOs were not tied together.

So I guess the only instance of a 292 Cheyenne Super would be in the c20 or c30. I think the best bet would be a custom camper truck custom ordered for a purpose. Same with the 4wd models. It seems like the 1/2 trucks were left out in the 292 world.

Correct, the 292 was only available on C/K20 and C30 - their VINs would start with CS or KS. You'll never see an I6 listed on a 1/2 ton SPID because there were no optional I6s for C/K10. A CS1 or KS1 VIN means it was born with a 250.

You will not see the 307 listed on a SPID. Only an optional engine (in either the I6 or V8 line) would be listed on the SPID.

Yes, what I meant was the 350 or 400 was usually paired with the Cheyenne Super trim when ordered by the dealership because it was a big seller. If the Cheyenne Super had a 292 then it would of had to have been ordered custom by someone because it is so uncommon. It’s like a utility bed Cheyenne super, they exist but they were probably custom ordered by someone not the dealer.

I did some more digging and it looks like the only instance of a c10 Cheyenne Super 292 would have been in 1971 when the 292 was still an option for half tons.
