My Journey from a Cheyenne To Super!
I been slowly upgrading my 72 Cheyenne to a Super. Yesterday I completed this after pulling my fenders to install the missing Hinge Pillar to Fender Seals and getting Repo'ed Super badges installed. When I finally decided to pull the fenders for the seals, this is when I decided going the "Super" upgrade. Since if I was going to pull the fenders, why not put the Super badge on too?
Before pulling the fenders I upgraded my dash with Wood Grain cluster (a repo) and glovebox with woodgrain and 72 Super Badge (donor from eBay). I had already put on a chrome handle when I needed to replace my tailgate. It isn't a chrome cover, which would be correct for a '72 but a full chrome handle (correct for '71). I got a new SPID, so it would be RPO YE9 for Cheyenne Super. I am very happy to have this done. I hope you guys think I did okay with my upgrade :-) Some reference threads: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)! Jeff Lampe Chevy Truck SPID Labels - Classic Chevy Trucks Rebuilding / Installing Hinge Pillar to Fender Seal* Fender Removal cheyenne-10 & super emblem location *Note: Cheyenne (and other higher end trims) should have the seals that I needed to install. However, when my truck went through its restore about 20 years ago they were not put back on after the body/paint work (all the screw holes were present). It can also be a sign that a truck has been updated to a higher trim then how it came from the factory. Meaning if a truck doesn't have the "Hinge Pillar to Fender Seals" you could get questions about your trim level being faked.

Re: My Journey to a Cheyenne To Super!
Didn't the Cheyenne (non Super) trucks also come with those fender seals? I know my 72 C20 did, but I did not bother with replacing them even I also added Super trim. Perhaps factory added mine by mistake.

Re: My Journey to a Cheyenne To Super!
Yes, they did. Mine went through a restore about 20 years ago and they were not re-installed.
If you visited my Seal thread you can see my photos where the screw holes were present :-)

Re: My Journey to a Cheyenne To Super!
It’s a factory color, called medium bronze :-)
I also like it, since it is close to burnt orange - Go UT Longhorns!

Re: My Journey to a Cheyenne To Super!
Wasn’t the lower trim on the Supers wood grain instead of black?

Re: My Journey to a Cheyenne To Super!
The lower trim is woodgrain, here is a photo that shows it on my truck.

Re: My Journey to a Cheyenne To Super!
YAY - Finally got a hit on my saved eBay/Emailing search for a Woodgrain Bezel. It's coming from Canada. The Woodgrain is in pretty good shape, though the chrome is a bit rough. I have only really seen these originals in worse shape that have been for sell and I don't even see those come up very often!
With it shipped to me here in Texas, $79 total - so a okay deal I think (the shipping was more than the bezel's cost). It will match the Glove Box Applique that pulled and installed sometime back.
