found a 72 cheyenne super survivor!!
As luck would have it, I was on the way to pick up my truck from the paint shop last week, and saw this truck for sale. It was for sale by the 83 year old original Sacramento owner, and he was asking $2,000, but took my offer of $1400. I had to tell the paint shop I'd be back the next day...
 Now comes the fun part of deciding how best to bring it back to it's former glory! It has the original engine, trans, driveline, paint, radio, etc, and is beautiful underneath. No visible rust in any area at all. Wouldn't start at first, as it had sat for over 5 years, but after draining the tank, and a can of Seafoam with 5 gallons of super, and a fresh battery, and a new fuel filter, she reluctlantly fired up and then cleaned right out in about 5 minutes. Now it runs great, actually. Has anyone seen this seat cover before? I hadn't seen one like this, and the old man couldn't remember much at all. His Grandson handled all the paperwork. Anyways, please enjoy the pics!

Re: found a 72 cheyenne super survivor!!
That is not an original seat cover. Being a cheyene super it should have houndstooth, but looks pretty cool and period correct. I like it and the truck. Nice buy.

Re: found a 72 cheyenne super survivor!!
NICE FIND!!
That truck is ideal to carefully document all of the two-tone paint details. I think hundreds of us could benefit from a good set of photos showing the edge details of the white paint (trim on and off). There are so few original paint trucks out there nearly 40 years later we could possibly document. I'll send a PM with more info. Again, Nice Find! |

Re: found a 72 cheyenne super survivor!!
heck, for something like that, I would probably have paid double. I need to move to California before you guys snatch up all these deals...
