71 cheyenne super questions
ALRIGHT GUYS, I PICKED UP A 71 CHEYENNE SUPER THE OTHER DAY AND THERE ARE SOME THINGS ABOUT IT THAT ARE THROWING ME OFF AND I NEED SOME EXPERT ADVICE.
1. THE GLOVEBOX EMBLEM IS THE 72 STYLE WITH THE SCROLL PATTERN BEHIND THE WORD SUPER BUT THE GLOVEBOX APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL TO THE TRUCK AND THE VIN MATCHES THE DOOR JAM. 2. THE STEERING COLUMN IS BLACK BUT IT'S NOT A TILT. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT'S BEEN REPLACED BUT IT COULD BE AN EARLY REPLACEMENT. I COULD SEE THIS MAKING SENSE IF THE REST OF THE INTERIOR WAS BLACK BUT THE HEADLINER, SEAT BELTS, SUN VISORS, AND DOOR PANELS ARE DARK OLIVE. 3. ALSO THE ARM RESTS AND DASH PAD ARE BLACK BUT I'M PRETTY SURE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE GREEN AS WELL. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP GUYS, I'LL TRY AND GET SOME PICTURES OF THESE DETAILS POSTED LATER TONIGHT ![]()

Re: 71 cheyenne super questions
My 71 super has the 72 style emblem. I think it was just a "later in the year" thing or a plant thing.
My non tilt steering column is also black. I think all of Chevys columns where black. My interior is parchment. The arm rests and dash pad could have easly been replaced with black one. We are talking about a 40 year old truck. Last edited by Tuff Gong; 08-07-2012 at 01:22 PM. |

Re: 71 cheyenne super questions
My 71 has an ochre column from the factory. The original wheel was not on there when I got ot so I'm not sure of the color of that. Mine also has the 72 emblem on the glove box door.

Re: 71 cheyenne super questions
Non tilt trucks got the column painted to match body color. Tilt trucks got a black column/black wheel.
If I am wrong somebody will correct me ![]()

Re: 71 cheyenne super questions
My non tilt column, steering wheel, dash pad and seatbelts are black and my door panels, visors, headliner and seat are parchment. Maybe my stuff is not original after all. I thought only GMC's got the painted columns, but it might just be the glove box door.

Re: 71 cheyenne super questions
That's what I thought as well. That's why I was a little thrown off when I saw a black column when the majority of the interior was green.

Re: 71 cheyenne super questions
That SPID photo is a great example of what a line printer does when its out of adjustment.

Re: 71 cheyenne super questions
I agree on the emblem...
...seeing how the steering wheel has been updated they might have painted the column at that time...is it black in the engine bay? Also might have changed out the other interior bits at that time...

Re: 71 cheyenne super questions
what does it look like under the console?
Mine was painted in place as was the dash with a poor tape job. my carpet is black, the bench was from a different truck, buckles were green, door panels green but the pads, visor and dash pad is black. no headliner in it.

Re: 71 cheyenne super questions
i agree with Ledzepp as well - i.e. tilt were black column/wheel, but I also think the column color for the non-tilts depended on the exterior color. In other words, there's never been a red column non-tilt on a red truck that I've seen... For example, I had a red 72 Cheyenne without tilt when it was about 10 yrs old - column and wheel were black from the factory from what I could tell.
Sooooo... while I think ALL tilts columns (and their wheels) were black, I was under the impression (maybe incorrectly) that Red, Black, White, & Orange trucks had black columns and wheels, even non-tilts. Also thought that Ochre & Lt Yellow were always saddle (if Saddle interior selected). So, I am still confused a bit... But having said that - I would think that YOUR dark olive truck would have come with dark olive wheel and column if not tilt from the factory. Now, who knows what they might have decided to do on the assembly line, anything is possible. Nice truck by the way! Last edited by jocko; 08-07-2012 at 11:03 PM. |
