Cheyenne super sport? - Page 3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**JQ-72** · 07-11-2008, 01:32 AM

Just noticed from the pictures that all with "spor" were produced at the St. Louis plant.

hensonjd · 07-11-2008, 02:27 AM

Just got back from the truck. I decided to not get the truck. It is a cheyenne super and it had the 402 and 400 tranny and the glove box had the super spor on it. The truck is just too rough for my ability and budget and i feel bad for letting it go. As far as original goes it was original except for the driver fender and door. The rust was far worsse than i imagined to. It had the original am fm 8 trak radio and seat headliner but it needs a total resto on it. He is asking 2500 for and heres the link.

dude.... that is a STEAL
You may wanna reconsider. If it is mechanicly sound, then you can drive it as you learn to fix it.
If it is being bought as a toy, then you can park it and learn.
That truck should sell in NO TIME at that price.

It seems like I remember someone posting pics of that same truck on here a while back. As I recall the owner was pretty proud of it and the rust was extremely bad.

I like the color combo though!

**special-K** · 07-11-2008, 07:23 AM

Wholotta potential/wholotta work/wholotta moolah to do it.Not always a combo we can all deal with.I`d sure love to have it.It appears to have a wholotta options.

Do you guys think if I had some factory looking Super Spor stickers made people would buy them?

That ochre SPID almost is exactly the same as my old ochre`71 CustomCamper.It had CustomSportTruck on there and 396.It was a Cheyenne and had a 402.Never had badges for either.

**70cst** · 07-11-2008, 09:02 AM

Question...
Were the SPID's hand typed and then entered into some type of automatic printer? I can see the Super Spor...do you think they got the Custom Sport confused with the Super Sport option? I agree these SPID have all sorts of unique typos...as mentioned my 70cst has a factory 402BB but the SPID says 396. Not unusual but incorrect. This is a nicely optioned truck. The AM/FM 8 Track combo is worth $300-500 by itself I would think.

My bet was in pennies and as long as no one tells LIZ or Josh I think it's ok!

It is my belief that the options were typed up in a mainframe program and then sent to a high speed impact printer. I used to work on similar large printers at the Goodyear plant here in the mid 90's that had the exact same font and print alignment issues as what our SPIDS show.
I do not believe that Joe Shmo set at a desk with a typewriter and did one label after another.
Just my 2 cents

My SPID label indicates that my truck is also a super sport

I'll send you my address so you can send me the pennies!!

I, like Chipflyer and Joe's Junk, have a weird fascination with glovebox doors and SPID's. I've got at least 25 hanging on my garage wall and a third of them are Supers. It's interesting to look at how some trucks came equipped. I've got a 71 Super that was 307/auto with manual steering, brakes, and no a/c!!

Some people collect stamps I collect SPID labels,

. I don't keep the doors, just pictures, probably have close to 400 I would guess arranged by year.

I remember that also. I seem to remember the motor looked like it hadn't ran in a while and there wasn't much interior in it.

Do you want me to take you some pics of the half dozen or so that we have around here?

If I can add something to your collection I'd be glad to help!

**special-K** · 07-12-2008, 06:54 AM

I have a folder for SPIDs,too.I lost all my pictures earlier this year.Trying to build it back up.It`s great to see all the combos.It`s pretty rare to find two alike.

mack266 · 07-12-2008, 05:07 PM

I have a question. I have a 1972 Super Cheyenne that I need to sell so I was doing a bit of research and came across this discussion. I have attached the sticker that is attached to the glove box for reference. The truck has a 402 engine and 400 transmission. It has labels of Cheyenne Super on the sides and on the interior glovebox. It is all original and has the blazer interior although worn. Is what I have unique enough that I just shouldn't sell it as a work truck and if so where do I find a buyer?

I think your question may be dangaling dangerously close to a "Whats It Worth" ad, you must be a subscribing member to post what its worth ads or for sale ads although im sure a admin will edit your post if necesary,
