Super ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Here's a new one. I recently found a guy parting out a 71 cheyenne super. Knowing that Supers came with a stainless tailgate handle cover, I bought it for my Blazer (I think they look neat) When it arrived, instead of being the expected stainless cover, it was a chromed handle. I kind of dought(?) that someone would remove the trim and have the handle chromed but anything is possible. Any Super owners ever come across this before?

Nope, both of mine have the cover.

71 had the chromed handle, in 72 it was a stainless cover. The 71 handle is harder to come by, hope you got a good deal.

Thanks for the info Harold, I assumed (yeah....I know!) that they were the same in 71 and 72.

I learned something new today

I've been messing with these trucks for 20years or better, and never came across that before! Learned something new today! Thanks for the info.
