Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
[quote=jocko;7850701]I believe you are correct Tristan. I guess I just meant you could get one in 71 or 72 - but good point, the 71 should be a little more rare as a post-rollout release. I KNEW I shoulda held onto ol greenie!
That's an awesome truck, love everything about it! Quote:
As for black Vs wood grain, I mean the interior, lower belts and band. Generally I prefer black/Custom over Cheyenne/Super. Wood grain with olive colors is at least one exception. Looks great with stock yellow as well.

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
I see this pic and your sig. and am envious. How to decide which to drive.....I think I'd spend the most time with the 68 anniversary CST.

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
I don't have the spid and I'd love to know if my 72 is a real Super or a fake.
Has AC, shoulder seat belts, wood on the door panels and dash, tilt, rear cab light, lower trim only. I added the seat cover. Any ways I can tell 100%? ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
Does my one fit ?
I own it since two months and I think it's one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I feel like Colt Seavers... seriously it makes me feel like in my young ages. The cheapest time machine, and sure not the ugliest one !! |

Super came with upper moldings, so if authentic they sealed up the holes. That or the entire body is a replacement Ha! (extreme). Guess these had chrome tailgate handles as well. Yours doesn't, but mine doesn't either. They may not hold up well, though my tailgate is thrashed. I don't believe A/C was a Super standard. It was an option on anything Custom Deluxe forward, if not Custom forward. Authentic or not NICE truck. One of the better paint schemes IMO, dark olive + wood grain.

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
The moulding question Is one I've always wondered about on Supers
?Did they ever come without full trim? Every post here has upper and lower moulding Except the black Long stepside jocko posted in #42 I remember that truck when it was being sold, and I believe the spid was shown That being said, was moulding deleted due to the fact it was a stepside? I also believe I have seen Super motor homes without moulding My motorhome is only cheyenne, and it came from factory without lower All that being said, let's see if any other stepside's show up OR any fleetside's with spid, but without upper or lower moulding |

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
Quote:
Forgot to mention - as for woodgrain on the door panels, both Cheyenne and Cheyenne Super had them, so not a giveaway as to trim level (headliner is a fairly good clue it's a Cheyenne at least - but, like woodgrain door panels, Cheyennes and Cheyenne Supers both had headliners - it's just a lot more work to add a headliner than a woodgrain door panel...) A/C, tilt, and even super rare factory shoulder belts are unrelated to trim level. All could be ordered on a base trim truck (a Custom). It's easier to guess the Super originality based on clues alone on an untouched/unrestored truck - i.e. it's more difficult to fake a well worn Super than it is a fully restored one. Hard to make a group of parts look exactly the same age (unless that age is brand new). But still, all conjecture without the paper to back it up. I'd want to know too if it were my truck, but I sure wouldn't sweat it - yours is one sweet ride, enjoy! We sure enjoy lookin at it. Last edited by jocko; 02-08-2017 at 02:22 AM. |

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
Thanks for the information and feedback about determining if my 72 is a real Super or not. I'd really love it to be. I'll search for the build sheet under the seat this week. Hopefully it's there and I can get some questions answered. Awesome trucks on this thread!!

I agree that green super is a beautiful truck and seems to have all the Cheyenne super equipment.

So was the tachometer ever included in a package, or was it simply an individual option?

Here's my 72 unsure if it's real it's also missing the spid. I think it has most everything that it should have to be real.
