C'mon man, get the radio knobs correct.

[dan42]

How about the steering wheel?

[Jtrux]

Why does it have a 402 with 400 badges??? Is that typically a half ton motor or what, I was under the impression that the big blocks came in the three quarter tons.

Pretty sure 1/2 tons could come with the 400 badges with the engine being a 396 or 402 depending on year, but trucks like this bring up another question for me. Weren't all "Supers" two toned, or could you get that option solid? I've seen alot of "Super" trucks being sold in solid colors lately. I like both types, but I'd like to know if there was a standard or option for color with the Supers.

YUP, Steering wheel, radio knobs, and cup holder center console!!!! Those are all wrong for the package and the year. Nice restoration though

[EAST SIDE LOW LIFE]

Yep, a real mess .... not!

esll.

[Longhorn Man]

only becouse the seller claims it is a Concours Restoration ... I will pick to this degree;
Wood in bed should be painted,not varnished
Stainless steel metal strips in bed are not correct.
strikers in door jambs should be natural, not painted
Radio knobs as mentioned
Console as mentioned
Wheels/tires
Stainless tailgate handle cover missing
Chrome exhaust tips
Steering wheel as mentioned
Floor mats aren't correct
A/C vents should be the color of the column if I'm not mistaken
wrong tilt and turn signal levers on column
Wrong PERNDLE (PRND21 indicator)
Hinges and latch parts under hood should be neutral, not black
in correct battery
wrong style hose clamps (99% sure)
rear license plate bucket wrong shade of silver, should be darker.

I'd like to see the SPID... looking at the VIN plate, it looks like the truck used to be white.
Again, THEY said Concours Restoration ... that means EXACTLY as it was the day it rolled off the assembly line, no more, no less.



Now, with all that being said... that is a bad ass truck!
The 402 COULD in fact be had in a 1/2 ton... in ANY truck except 4X4. And... the 400 badges are corerect for that engine. The 400 badge would NOT be correct for a 396, they had 396 badges.
I can't recall off the top of my head if a super would be required to be 2 tone... they DID come with both upper and lower trim as seen on that truck. This one doesn't have the divider trim for the white roof top... interesting point indicating this truck may have never been 2 tone, however, I am curiouse if it is a real super anyways.

See that is exactly what I was thinking only the Master of all Knowledge AKA Longhornman put it down in writing first.

[Longhorn Man]

seat belts are missing
assumed mis-match locks since there is a round key on the key chain
Wrong shocks

[kndall]

It may be that it is a big block and I am more familiar seeing a small block but something just doesn't look "right" in the pic of the front view of the engine. It is like an incorrect alternator bracket and alternator, or something missing in the engine brackets, I don't know.

very nice looking truck though, I would be that proud of it as well if it were mine. I would have to have seat belts in it though to drive it.

[cdowns]

add to that is it says aluminum wheels and if you look at the interior rearview it doesnt appear to be stuck on the windshield indicating wrong year cab

so nice truck about double what its worth but like everything else the price of bondo is goin up

[see ten]

She's sweet! As far as the 2 tone goes, I have seen several Supers that were solid black. Yep not concours but everything looks top notch. Probably a low to mid 20K truck in all reality. Of course it's for sale by a dealer so that price is the starting point for negotiations. I'd love to have it in my driveway with some bags and big rims! I wonder if he wants to trade even for a swb K10??

[see ten]

I went to the sellers website, it has a provision for you to "make offer" on this one! It just needs a white roof and I would have a big block SEE TEN!

looks like it is to me.
Still a sweet looking ride, but I would pay $35K for it.

A little off subject would a 383 get some 350 badges or would it be totally wrong. Was thinking about it but don't want to be one of those that get jokes on for putting on wrong markings.

[too much stuff]

Very sharp truck. Surprised no one noticed the van am/fm radio. I think andy mentioned most of the other things i noticed.
cameeks, as far as the 383 badges, you may as well start looking at some mopars... 292,350, 366, 396 or 400 were the badges for these trucks. There was also a 427 badge that went on the hood of the bigger trucks

[too much stuff]

kndall, The alt bracket looks correct for 72, but is missing the stabilizer bar that runs to the exhaust manifold. Looks to be a later model alt.

[EAST SIDE LOW LIFE]

I see two or three box's of parts being delivered by UPS. If this truck was being sold for $25,000 to 30,000 It would be a real deal. Aside from the s/s exhaust we have bolt on items that would detail this truck to what the owner claims it to be a "Concours Restoration." No big deal in my books.

The concern that I would have is the mech. components being #'d correct and rebuilt properly. If this was done to the proper specifications this would be an easy fix truck. The fact that he over stated the description of his truck gives a guy an edge to deal with the price in such cases. Heck you might even work a deal that the guy would come down to the point that the parts to make this truck correct end up costing squat. The new/old parts that were wrong can also be sold to recoupe the cost of the new parts.

esll.

[SigX]

All the trucks with factory 402's came with 400 badges. I forget the exact reason but it had something to do with the laws of the day and GM being sneaky for our good. There are plenty of single tone Cheyenne Supers out there. You'll actually see the two-tone as a seperate option on the glove box.

[bcanini]

perfect or not that is one SWEEET ride, and definitely worth more than half as was stated above. beautiful truck.

I am really impressed by your level of expertise concerning restorations and these trucks in general, that's the kind of stuff that truly impresses me.

these trucks are getting really high, we should be happy! that is a nice truck that just needs a little straightening out, but wouldn't be that big a deal. i know of several trucks that have gone for $50k plus (i'm not blowing smoke) but were without a doubt absolutely over-restored and correct in every detailed. i personally think it is a $30k truck. just my .02. As an example, the early classic enterprises franchise truck (red/white 72) just sold for $55k. i know this for a fact. a friend of mine hauled it to tennessee. if you look at the truck shops web page, it's on it now. they sell trucks as well and get the big money. i know of another parts place that builds them and gets the big money too. they aren't dealers though, they know how to locate buyers and market them through their business. and my buddy told me the ece truck wasn't all that nice, it's been done a long time, they just were in a position to market it. but it is good for us, kinda like barrett-jackson, they are driving the price of our trucks up, good for owners i guess, and bad for buyers.

[sameyrasmea72]

Buckets never came with houndstooth and the gas tank cover looks a little different, it should be carpet doubled over and screwed into the sheet metal below the rear glass.

[Blazer1970]

Wouldn't an original big block truck have come with a Dana 60 rear and not a 12 bolt? It would be interesting to see the SPID that is in this one.

[STP67-72]

The black swb super 402 bb sold for 50000.00 out of abilene, tx. this year and i think it was a clone. CSM website. He is buddies with truck shop. Gets 40000.00 plus all the time.
