Has the white in the middle been added at a later date?

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

as seen above is how it was born - 465 is the deluxe two tone paint code for white/med olive.

For side by side here's mine with W/MO/W/MO. I like all the trucks. I like all the colors. It's hard to have a favorite. My favorites are 67-72. I really like the olive ones. They really grew on me. I redid the gauge cluster and put a new mat in, new carb and distributor. Fixed some other things. She got new shoes too. These are older pics. I have been neglecting her for a another project.

1971 Supers are few and far between since it was a mid to late year option.

Osker, I'm interested in the rubber mat in your 2nd picture. You mentioned you replaced it - were you able to find one just like it? Any awareness to the truck's history? Super's of course came with carpet, but I've always wondered if perhaps there were any dealer installs of rubber mats at customer request. My 72 has the exact same mat.

Hi Jocko, I am afraid I misled you about the mat. It did have carpet but it was too far gone when I got it to keep it around so I just pulled it out when cleaned it out and pitched it. The mat I put in is just a the replacement mat from LMC IRRC. I went with the mat because half the year its constantly wet here in western WA.

The houndstooth seat cover is starting to deteriorate or more accurately disintegrate pretty fast now. I wrapped it in a green Mexican blanket for now.

I picked it up from a guy just across the Narrows Bridge on the Kitsap Peninsula which is Northwest of the Tacoma area. He told me it started out new in eastern WA in a town called Othello so that’s why it has such faded paint, eastern WA is the high desert. Then it was out on the Olympic Peninsula at Lake Cushman area, it was last registered in 2007. The guy I bought it from had it for 2 weeks, he got it from his friend (supposedly second owner, but not verified) who had it for around 15 years and had it stored inside at his property on Lake Cushman area. Used it for trash runs so the story goes. He said his friend had the engine rebuilt at a community college auto tech course about 16 years ago. It started, ran and stopped fine and wasn't terribly hacked up so I scooped it up because I would most likely not come across another opportunity to buy a Cheyenne Super. The engine isn't original but that's OK with me, she runs decent enough and it's not a mess. She has a block code of 3916323 which is a '68 Nova/Chevelle/Camaro block from what I could reference.

Thanks Osker - just knowing yours is aftermarket helps - mine likely is too:) Appreciate the follow-up!

Heres my newest project! 72 Cheyenne Super - Short fleet side all original

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

Show us some pics:metal:

My 1972 short box 4 X 4. It came with the “Protector Plate” warranty card. Originally sold out of Phoenix AZ. Came medium green out of the factory. One thing that stumps me is the upper cab (roof) has what looks to be original green paint under the white respray. Still has the original rockers and cab corners though they need attention after 50 years! (Happy birthday to all the 72’s out there.) The original owner was a pilot, still has the stickers on it.

Typical options for a Cheyenne Super; auto, tilt, AC, etc. One unique option is factory rear slider. Don’t see that very often.

As you can see I still use the truck for work and play!

(To those who have skills please rotate the first picture.)

Nice truck

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

is there room here for badly abused ones? I have 2 Longhorns that are Supers. The C20 was just for parts and all I can find at the moment is the spid pic. The C30 is in storage for now.
