**jocko** · 02-21-2017, 01:27 AM

thx for sharing, I'm GMC-stupid, I have to admit. That's the first I've ever seen with houndstooth, but then again, I guess if I'm honest, I'm always lookin at Chevys. Any more Sierra Grande seat material data points out there?

Tough to dislike step sides. Some months ago I had the opportunity for what appeared to be a REAL nice 71, one hour drive. 350 on a stick for 3k. It might be in the driveway hadn't I bought the 72 a month earlier.

I'd be tempted for a white top & letters on that truck. If it's a personal preference for appearance, IMO it wouldn't effect the value, other than maybe up.

Thats a wallpaper pic.

**Chevyland** · 03-02-2017, 01:41 AM

Bump.
Any more out there

**Already Gone** · 03-02-2017, 11:52 AM

Here is one on EBay now. Not to crazy about the way the rust on the roof looks on this one.

**Already Gone** · 03-02-2017, 11:56 AM

Another from EBay .Auction is closed now. Would be nice truck restored to original. It was built with lots of nice options from the factory.

**JQ-72** · 03-20-2017, 02:05 AM

Here's a few I've owned over the years.

1 - Solid black 3/4 ton BB
2 - Longhorn

**JQ-72** · 03-20-2017, 02:07 AM

3 - 1/2 ton with marker lights.
4 - real swb bucket seat truck

**JQ-72** · 03-20-2017, 02:09 AM

5 - Gotta love this one! SWB super with 350, 3 speed on the column, manual steering, manual brakes no A/C and radio delete.

j_cst_10 · 03-22-2017, 09:48 AM

Here is my 1972 Cheyenne Super 20 Camper Special truck. I still have the original 402/TH400 that came out of it. The drivetrain consists of a Cummins/5spd now. I replaced the smashed front bumper with a spare 1970 one and hid the turn signals behind the grill.

Strange interior color.

**JQ-72** · 03-22-2017, 10:12 AM

Love that color combo - ochre with olive interior.

j_cst_10 · 03-22-2017, 10:45 AM

Yeah, yellow and green. Match made in heaven

Looks better than one that was on ebay a few years ago- hugger orange with olive interior & it was listed that way on the SPID. Nice Cummins swap!

**rharris** · 03-22-2017, 07:27 PM

Here is my 72 SWB Cheyenne Super. 36000 miles. I'm sure it was said in the thread, but the only piece I couldn't find reproduced was the glove box door chrome trim around the woodgrain. Not all the houndstooth colors you see today are original either. I believe there were only 4 original houndstooth colors. Blue, white, and olive....can't remember the fourth. The 307 is no race machine, but I hate to mess with it. She still has the original two barrel. Would love to drop something in around 400hp like my old GMC LWB had. Anyway, great thread. 15x8 steelies on the way with chrome and blue dog dishes.

**jocko** · 03-22-2017, 07:32 PM

Nice truck, thanks for sharing. Only three custom cloth colors and you named em all (olive, blue, parchment). The tailgate handle brightwork is not available aftermarket (71 chrome and 72 stainless slip on).

Yep, forgot about that too. It's a bummer for those looking to reproduce. BUT, I am glad there are a few parts that prove originality. If this truck were OCHRE, it would probably be the last one I would buy.

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%?

Beautiful Truck. I would guess true Super or someone found you a true Super glove box door.

Just to clarify my reply to your previous post, the stainless trim under the glovebox woodgrain is reproduced. The tailgate handle/handle sleeve is about the only part I have not seen reproduced.

rsgt · 03-23-2017, 12:03 AM

Here is my 72 Cheyenne Super normal bed truck. Still a garage project, have not had the time to get back to it.

Thanks jocko. If i remember correctly, the 71 chrome tailgate handles are available in LMC and Classic Parts, but not the 72 sleeve. Where can i find a glove box trim? Thanks again.

My 72 longhorn Sierra Grande. Houndstooth seat

**68350** · 03-23-2017, 08:15 PM

72 3/4t Sierra Grande. Original bench was recovered when I got it but I'm sure it was a houndstooth as well. I put the buckets in
