My 71 4x4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

A real 1971 swb Cheyenne Super 4x4. I know it don't look like it in the pics but I have the glovebox sticker that matches the vin, and it states that it was and it had some good options on it. Buckets, tilt, tach, and under the paint the base color was blue. The owner told us that it was originally blue and white from factory but he had redone the truck since then twice. Both pretty poor jobs, once a metallic red and had a stepside on it, and the other he painted it white. When he redid it red, he took off the trim and he sold the buckets out of it. It was hard to imagine what that truck would of looked like off the showroom floor MAN........ but since we brought this home in early Sept. We have redid the rockers,cab corners, cab floors, undercoated, painted back to blue and white, piecing together trim where we can, found original buckets and console for $130, found some cherry 69 impala seat belts to have original style shoulder harnesses (well close), found a good grille, redid the cruddy bed we had ( good floor, really bad left fender that we replaced with one we bought from a dealer, (not new) but in good shape, POR-15 the frame, found original 4x4 full wheel covers for it for $75 almost perfect, replaced the old 350 with a better one. Still goin to need original tow hooks....... but will wait cuz I am just about broke. THis will be my truck for college next year and we are rustproofing the sh!t out of it. A lot of work but we finally got the bed painted this week and we are getting ready for the body on the frame again.

The interior shot.... Tilt, Tach, the owner told us that the cruise was pulled from a 69 high optioned truck that was being parted out. I have seen the same control offered in LMC that says it was original in 69-70 but I wasn't for sure. I have seen these in 73+ styles but he said he got it out of a 69. He said he had to install it in the tilt.

I like it.

THis is the truck that got me all started in this era. This was one of my dad's trucks in the eighties. It was a K20 but he shortened the frame on it and put a short bed on it. It took him about 6 months to do and then a fireman from K.C. drove by one day and offered $8500 for it in '88 and he sold it. Still think that was the best truck he had and he has had some sweet ones. I am glad to have found one that is the same color. Wish I knew what happen to his though, just for old time sake.

Did you buy that truck from harold pace? Just wondering he had or still has one just like that.

**71blksuper4x4** · 01-11-2003, 05:21 AM

Yeah, I sure did. You guys sure must scope out topeka.

travis martin · 01-11-2003, 10:30 AM

I remember seeing that truck before all the rust was on it. It didn't look to bad but back then i didn't know what body work was suppose to look like. He owned that truck for a long time. Good luck fixing it up maybe it will look like the black one when you get done .

Sweet find Trevor! I remember when Harold fixed that truck up in the early 80's he was from Valley Falls, I was wondering what ever happened to that truck. Good luck it will great when you get it all done I'm sure!
