[Chevyland]

???? Question?????

On this spid
Cheyenne Super
Parchment interior
I know
Black dash
Black steering column

[Chevyland]

What about the A/C ball housings

Black or Parchment?
From the factory ??

[72 tigger]

Mine are body color

[best view]

Dash pad is sandalwood and column also carpet is black column black if it’s tilt ac vent is correct in your hand

[best view]

Forgot this was a super it did come with A Black pad and carpet and column

[57taskforce]

Id guess black….

I don’t have a super but I’ve had two Cheyennes. My K20 has a olive interior with black vents, and I had a hugger/parchment C10 with orange vents. Probably don’t help much but I’ve always wondered if the vent color varied some by plant.

[ChevyGuyNC]

On my 72 Super, still all original, they're body color.

Edit: White/Dark Olive/White exterior, Olive interior.

My 72 super ochre/white with parchment interior has black AC vents.

My Super had body color housings (and a black GB door) and was Flint assembled. I'd be curious if there is a convention that Fremont had for the Supers assembled there.

Eric, here is a photo of my old '72 Super big block survivor. This was a documented 50,000 mile truck and I'm quite confident nothing in the interior had been swapped over the years. Notice my vent housings are black.

[Chevyland]

Thanks guys
I think it probably did vary by plant
And maybe even what they had on the shelf at the plant
I decided to go black
Just think it is the best look
-
I like to put the trucks back according to spid
Which is parchment

I’ve got both parchment interior as well as black
When I see all that black so far
It almost makes me want to go all black
I doubt I’ll do it
But what are your Thoughts??

This is an involuntary compulsion for me with original trucks. If it’s already modified, all good. But if it’s close to original it’s gotta go all the way!

The truck looks as original as they come
No rust, everything works
But
It’s been ‘modified’ in a Big way
Was
Originally 1/2 ton automatic
At some point someone went through a lot of work
And made it 3/4 ton 4spd

That’s another quandary
It’s still got CHEYENNE10 badges on it
Should they be 20’s ?

[72 tigger]

I like black and CHEYENNE 20 badges- just my opinion. Whatever you do will look good

[Joesjunk]

I think parchment interior would look perfect

[tidmack]

I, too, like parchment. There's one exception, though, Eric: how are you planning to use this truck? I had to be somewhat careful with the parchment seat on my '71 Custom Deluxe. Not a big deal, because I didn't work with it, but it may come into play if you're ever dirty around these old Chevy pickups.

The Arkansas K10 Cheyenne I'm building has saddle dash pad and column with body color vents. Built in Fremont.

[Chevyland]

Little super white SEM to fog in the discoloration
On the door panels
-
The truck had an aftermarket bezel
As always, I go backwards
And put on old parts
Trying to match 50 year old tired wood grain paint
Isn’t easy

[57taskforce]

Looking good! I vote for parchment and Cheyenne 20’s… though not correct, lots easier than 1/2 ton axles to match the Cheyenne 10’s!

[Chevyland]

Makes sense Tyler

I’m still daily driving BOBiLLY
Getting to that time
Been researching how to do an oil change
Not much on old chevys
But I did come across something for a 73 model

Pete, I don't remember now. But, what was the deal with the black GB door on a super? My cab had one but I painted body color when I changed the color of the truck. Was this a Flint only thing or was it an add on trim package or another trim code?

Ryan, it’s a flint plant thing if I remember right.

[Dirt's72]

One I let go. Fremont built parchment interior all original for reference.
George Strait song comes to mind. "I'd like to have that one back" teardrop

[3757chevy]

I just put some 245-60-15 on the front of my '68. Had to take my hat off too avoid sweating on it.

Trim color as denoted on the SPID, not trim level (Cheyenne Super, for example) drives dash pad, carpet, and steering column color except in the case of tilt column (always black) or Highlander trim (always black carpet and dash pad, 72 only).
