Re: 72 Chevyenne Super with the Eagle package EBay
It just dawned on me that while we're all talkin about this thing, there are no pics for posterity in this thread! Before it sells and we lose track of it for another 40 years, here are some pics so folks can reference it in the future. I've never seen a Cheyenne eagle or a Hugger Orange one. Yeah, mod bods are a little goofy when you think about it - but if you were young(er) and impressionable back then - you probably thought they were cool, and probably still do. Well, maybe it's just me. Perhaps it's because it just reminds me of a simpler time, even with the huge graphics, ha! Would love to have it in the barn! And while this one is indeed nice enough to leave untouched, I would LOVE to see a restored one someday (hint hint to the guys with the graphics in their stash...

Re: 72 Chevyenne Super with the Eagle package EBay
Thankful Jocko! I tried to copy these pictures and post them. I couldn’t get them through.

I like the white truck version much better. I think it would be even better on a 67 without the marker lights. All of this is just opinions and your results may vary. ![]()

Re: 72 Chevyenne Super with the Eagle package EBay
I agree totally on the color of the truck making the difference. I like the white with the stickers.
I also like that 1776 one on the burb, but it almost should be on a 76 truck or burb. Ive never seen one of our trucks with that one.

Re: 72 Chevyenne Super with the Eagle package EBay
I wonder if Chevyland did end up buying it. I know he talked about it in his thread.

Re: 72 Chevyenne Super with the Eagle package EBay
So how much did it go for? I never did like graphics on vehicles. I like these now only because they reflect the times, pop art was popularized by Peter Max and for it's retro value. I didn't like graphics but I would not say these were a bad style. You can't look back from today's perspective and call something bad style from a contemporary standpoint. Imagine what people in '72 would think if they saw our styles today? Way out of place to say the least. This was not an option, it was an accessory you could have the dealer apply, some may have done some to put on the lot, or they could be purchased at the parts counter and applied by whoever.

Besides, by '76 these trucks were still breaking in. I'm surprise they didn't do a Sestercentennial version for that coming up!

Re: 72 Chevyenne Super with the Eagle package EBay
So did gm use a smooth tailgate on these trucks? I can't see the "CHEVROLET" stamped into the gate under the decals. Or did they use a metal piece like the Cheyenne s did?

Re: 72 Chevyenne Super with the Eagle package EBay
One of my dads buddies was the successful bidder on eBay. Its gonna make its way to NC for some preservation and some slight upgrades. I think the plan is fix the rust, new carpet, seat cover, new Steelies and hubcaps, and log some miles on this old girl.

Re: 72 Chevyenne Super with the Eagle package EBay
I will absolutely post some pics to this thread as it arrives. If anyone wants pictures of anything specific let me know. If you are on Instagram check out piedmont_traction1270. It will definitely be preserved and cherished as it is.

Re: 72 Chevyenne Super with the Eagle package EBay
Jocko, Mel posted that prior to me showing it in that "lits" thread. I had posted it in an older thread of it's own but that doesn't matter. I just took the opportunity to refer back to that thread thinking some may want to view it. A bit of a hijack I suppose. Guilty!
I love stuff like this, like a faded pair of jeans or favorite old t-shirt. If I was rich I would have a museum with this type of stuff. That JC Whitney shop truck would be another one
