Sure is purty! Good for that son-in-law!

There should be a small blue decal on the drivers door with the build date, curious when it was built. Nice truck!

Haven’t looked yet. But is there a GM registry that would show me the factory build location, date and all options?

Built June 1971

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

Just checked glove box. I do in fact have BOTH the YE9 AND Z84 RPO. According to C10 wisdom, the YE9 RPO which is listed first, (or on top), indicates it is a "super". It was built in June 1971.

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

just to clarify (since i think you’re referencing my comment) - if YE9 is listed anywhere on the SPID, it’s legit, regardless of order of listing. By “highest” - I was referring to the highest trim level listed.

Thanks. My bad. Wasn't trying to antagonize. I was just happy to have a definitive answer.

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

No worries at all! Just wanted to clarify, that's all. I could've described it better in the first place. Thanks again for posting the truck, very nice and kept very original.

Bought this truck a few weeks ago. I'm planning to drive it sparingly pretty much as-is. It has been a Colorado truck all its life.

Removed the mud flaps today. Cleaned out the cowl as best I could with vacuum (was packed with leaves and dirt). Hoping to swap the mirrors for sport mirrors. Also, hoping to also bring the paint back to life as best I can--that might be a spring time project.

And yes, the "Super" emblems are incorrectly placed. It appears the front fenders are not original, and they mounted the emblems incorrectly above the "Cheyenne" emblems.

I removed the wrap on the transmission shifter, and it is painted black. Is it true that Cheyenne Super manual transmission shifters were chrome?...thought I heard that once. I know the NP205 shifters were chromed on Supers.

Nice find. I love the ochre! It's gonna be hard to keep the restoration bug away isn't it? I keep telling myself NO,...but another voice keeps saying go for it.

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

On all supers that I have had, or seen
The 4spd shifters are chrome


Nice truck !!

Nice truck,as for its value vs a swb I would say that depends on who you ask. I would love that truck if I could find one like that.

God, my unicorn and the A/C is intact. I guess this is a word of mouth deal..

Re: Post a real Cheyenne Super only (aka the defiinitive Cheyenne Super thread)!
 

nothings happened yet I stayed zipped till the unicorn was in my stable, I did tell eric it was a barn find legend , he is a special guy you know he slobbers on supers like kids on loly pops, it took him a year to sweet talk me out of my last super , if you need one come down there or 4 or 5 here in my den of destruction and about the same in sierra grande , I myself like the quest , and friendship it brings in chasing the dream and the holy grail
