Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
There are Cheyenne Supers sprinkled throughout the whole forum, but for the life of me, I couldn't find a "post your Super" thread. So, assuming someone doesn't shoot me in the forehead with exactly such a link in the next five minutes, I thought this might be a good idea. There are tons of recurring questions about what makes a Super a Super - and it's got to be about the most cloned and imitated trim package out there. I'll post a few pics to get the ball rolling and then please add on. Historical/technical option info highly desired - and post a pic of yours or one you've got a picture of as long as you know it's a no-kidding YE9 RPO Cheyenne Super.
First, some tidbits (or, more appropriately stated, "what I think I know!" Ha)...
Some pics: The first four are the introductory brochure in 71 (hope the first two display side by side for you), the last pic is from the 72 sales brochure, showing the upgrade from a Cheyenne to a Cheyenne Super. |

Here are the two Supers I've owned (still have the 72 K20). The medium olive C20 is a 71. I guess I like green! Looking forward to seeing some of my favorite Cheyenne Supers posted!

jocko, nice looking trucks! If it would help, I can post pics of quite a few spid pics. If you want to keep this for trucks that still exist, that is fine.

Opposite color combo
Highly optioned truck Worth a fraction of a shortbed I'm sure it cost plenty more than the shortbed, when new |

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
a new member posted in the welcome area just before this thread was posted. his username is "bigblocksuper". his avatar pic looks like it could be a swb (hard to tell though). either way, hoping he posts some more info.

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
What's RPO?
Here's the beater. Has everything but the chrome tailgate handle. Course the tailgate is thrashed. Don't know how common, but it's got a piece of trim that runs down the center of the hood. Probably common for Super. Couple of buttons on the cowl panel. I hear that's for a tarp (couldn't tell ya).............. I'll take some more pics in the morning. It's the real deal, less the rust and manipulations anyway (e.g., paint) My step-dad says I'm restoring the wrong truck..............Ha! ![]() ![]()

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
Jocko, luv the thread. One minor clarification request - didn't the Super option come out late in the 1971 model year? Thought I read that somewhere. That would make it a 1.5 or 1.25 year option rather than 2 years. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Have been building this 72 c20 super for the last few years.This is one of those frame up jobs that you have way to much $$ invested..so you just keep plowing through....will look as original as I can get it minus the driveline.

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
Here's a pic of the stainless slip cover used on the tailgate handle for 72-only Supers (NOS of course). As Jocko mentioned, 71 Supers made use of a chrome handle.
