Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!

[DosLocos]

Guess I better post this here, as it seemed to get some attention on the craigslist thread. Owners were father, son , me. Had a camper on it almost
it's whole life. Respray blue at some point. 95K miles.

Ive always hated long steppers, my brother has a 65 and I used to give him grief about it all the time. But then here on the board some long step 67-72 4x4s were showing up that I really liked. And then some 2x4's that were really cool ... funny how tastes change =)

I think this long step would look very cool restored exactly as it sits in the pictures, even with the front spare, and especially the can on the step. But I know everyone would think this is weird, I would get rid of the buckets and put in a bench. I would love to have found that one.

Thanks for posting and I see the ad is down on Craigslist. Has it sold?

I thought you were the seller. Well congrats then. Looks like you got a great truck at a decent price.

Had a custom deluxe in the light green/white 40 years ago, wish I had it still! A lot of great memories. This is the one now, making memories with the grand kids. I guess I want you standing on your head to see the spid. 1/2 hour was long enough trying to rotate the pic. haha

[jocko]

flip for ya. nice truck.

[724wd]

Thx. for the flip! Need to find the tailgate stainless handle for it now that I have been educated from this thread. Does anyone know if someone makes an after market handle? Or perhaps an original.

Congrats, I think you got a great deal on a real nice truck!

Not aware of anyone that sells the 72 bright tailgate handle sleeve aftermarket - but a few places sell the 71-only chrome handle (LMC, for example - but I think it's just a chromed assembly, not a chrome handle only). Might be worth becoming a member and posting a wtb ad on the parts forum. The 72 Super sleeve is not a common part and your best bet is to find someone parting a trashed 72 Super or hoarding rare parts

Thanks Jocko,
It is the best preserved one I have had yet. I did have to remove that custom spare tire holder...

New member to the forum here. I am enjoying reading about all of the Super's. I am the new proud owner of a 1972 Cheyenne Super 10. It is a project, but I did drive it 3 hours home, so I guess that's not bad.

Welcome slider - I see one nose pic at the link, are there more? you can also post them directly on here (5 per single post max) by clicking "Post Reply" (or "Go Advanced" if you're in the Quick Reply dialog box) and then clicking on the paper clip icon. It will bring up a menu to allow you to browse and select up to 5 pics, then upload, then close, then finish your post in the box you started in. Would love to see a picture of the SPID! (and the rest of the truck ) Welcome!

Here it is
I just buffed it out
Still need to get it road worthy
Have no intentions of restoring it at this time
I, too like odd ball trucks
And to me this is the rarest, funkiest, ugliest, coolest truck
I have ever found
It is a true time capsule

[jocko]

that thing is just awesome Eric! Looks great all purdied up.

I own a 72 cheyenne super

[jocko]

Welcome to the forum jacob. Post a pic of it when you can! And the SPID (the sheet pasted inside the glovebox door). TO post pics, either click "post reply" to get to the main post dialog box, or click "go advanced" if you happen to be typing in the quick dialog box at the bottom of the page. Then just click on the paper clip and attach up to 5 pics per post. Looking forward to seeing it.

Well, hot diggity,....I got linked over to this thread. Turns out I guess I shoulda bought a lottery ticket last month when I got this from an 18 year hiatus in a barn! I've always loved these trucks,... wife would never let me get one,... my son-in-law convinced her to let me get one. Anyway, I have all the actual documentation from the original sale, (invoice, bill of sale, etc..), up to now. (Or so I thought,...I'm starting to wonder if the herringbone seats are newer, but the SBC is original, as is everything else I can see, (I think).

I'm planning on either an HEI or Pertronics just for more reliability. Any ideas or recommendations? Also, will I get much grief if I install Vintage Air in it? Honest, at this point, that's all I'm planning,...…….

Welcome to the boards and you have a real nice truck and looks like a great find. The RPO Code for a Cheyenne Super is YE9 and your RPO Code shows Z84 which is a Cheyenne. Now 1971 was the first year for the Cheyenne Super so maybe yours is one of the first Supers and they hadn't changed the RPO Code yet. Dont know for sure but I'm sure you will get more comments .

Missed that but have seen it before with both RPO Codes on the spid.

[flyboyjack]

So,... you guys OK if I claim ownership of a "super"? I'm still a little confused?

flyboyjack

[jocko]

You have a Cheyenne Super. Sometimes, very rarely, YE9 and Z84 (one step down) were both listed - but the highest listed wins. If there's a YE9 anywhere on there, it's a legit Super. Claim away. Nice truck!

Who cares what others think? That’s a nice truck! Welcome to the board.
