Paint Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

STOCKISH · 12-19-2008, 03:45 PM

I have a 72 Cheyenne Super that is Medium Blue and White. However, it is only white on the top, not down the center also. I haven't seen any other Supers that werent two toned with the top and center being painted. Is this rare? Any help would be great.

Most likely it was repainted and he didnt want to pay for the second 2 tone.

Truck has never been repainted. I bought it from the original owner and it was like that from the factory.

It is not as common as the 4-way paint, but I have seen plenty of SUPERS with white top only and several solid paint SUPERS too all with original paint.

STOCKISH · 12-19-2008, 05:18 PM

Yeah, I have seen lots of solid painted, and lots of Two toned but not one with only the top painted.

I've seen a few solid body white top Supers. I'd love to see pics of yours, you see so many blue/white/blue trucks it'd be nice to see another take on the medium blue.

The info I have seen says the white/blue white/ blue was the most popular optioned color combo. The two tone combo was offered as standard- main color and white top and as deluxe two tone that offered the wht top, color, wht and color, the deluxe option added a little cost to end price, Just because it was a super does not make it have a two tone, the two tone just works well with the chrome scheme.My 4x4 has white top and medium olive body standard two tone, my 71 has the white/black/white/black deluxe two tone. Hope this helps, Harold

I have a questions?
1: Does it have the chrome seperating the blue from the white, it should be just above the gas cap.

And as stated earlier, not super rare, as I have seen them on here before. Infact your not the only one to ask this question.

Can't wait to see the pictures.
