Still learning on these things. Maybe some of you knowlegeable guys can help educate me, please:

What is the option on the third line down on the left column of the SPID: "Floor Board" ??

Does that refer to the wood bed floor as opposed to metal, or what ?

Yes,it`s the woodfloor option.

Cheyenne Zuper!!!

This is truly a rare truck if it has the floor board in 72. They all but stopped putting those in by 69/70. You see alot of them at shows but if they are like me the owners could not find a steel floor worth putting back into their truck. Very nice truck.

Here ya go. Just let me know. It's as solid as I thought.

My 72 sht wd bed is a low option truck but has a wooden floor bed. I had also heard rare for late 70 71 and 72 models but since mine wasnt a full out Cheyenne Super I just temporarily tack welded a later model bed floor with my stock wheel tubs so that If I ever had extra $$$ I could do a wooden bed.

Yesterday, I brought home a wood bed '72.

Wow Ted,looks like you got yourself a very nice truck.......I love original longbeds and am looking for one as clean as yours.

67L30WGN · 01-07-2008, 09:10 AM

Thanks, Slammed1. I got lucky. It was advertised as a "Cheyenne" with only a front shot. When I arrived to look at the truck it was all I could do to contain my excitment when I saw the little "Super" on the side. If you looked through all the pictures, you probably noticed the cab corners have a little fudge in them, but it is otherwise perfect. Clearly garage kept and never used as a truck. I would like to return it to its original paint scheme sometime. Since it's made it this long as a basically original truck, I don't plan on altering it.

mine is a highlander and has a wood floor, only highlander i've seen with it. still has original paint on truck and bed. had a camper on it since new.

That is awsome!

I should have my been more specific/clear in my response- after 70 very rare for short fleet to have wood floor in them. LWB was more common because it provided less slippage for cattle, produce,tools, etc. Not as much room to haul in SWB more common to see steel floors.
