Original paint 1972 Cheyenne short bed
 

I just had to share a truck that I just recently purchased. For the most part it has remained untouched other than the white on the roof repainted at some point. The truck is a Cheyenne but does not have the super option. Sometime along the way somebody did some interior work and put all of the super woodgrain inside but I have all the original pieces. Personally I love the woodgrain dashes in these trucks so that will stay. All the mechanical components are original from what I can tell even down to the original shocks. The truck started its life in Arkansas and then moved to Missouri for some time and then ended up in Alberta on a farm. I actually lost sleep thinking about the purchase of this old truck. The guy I bought it off of said he really would love to see the truck stay original and that's my plan because they are only original once. Anyhow everybody likes a few pictures so here it is.

Amazing. Great job hunting that down. May I ask how you found it?

Re: Original paint 1972 Cheyenne short bed
 

I am offended. I think it should be back in Arkansas. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Well I work at a car dealership and the fellow was buying a new pickup from us. Just as I was doing up paperwork a young fellow rolled up outside my window in a an old 71 or 72 pickup and the guy looked at me and said ( I have one of those at home but a little nicer than that one). That was my Queue!!! Now it was question period... Funny how a guy finds stuff sometimes.

Beautiful truck

Re: Original paint 1972 Cheyenne short bed
 

that's OK if you like a nice, unrestored, Cheyenne shortbox.........which we all do :)
Very nice

Re: Original paint 1972 Cheyenne short bed
 

I would not surprise me if a truck like this made it full circle and back to wherever home might be. I believe I have the name of the original dealer that sold it new. When I get home I will dig that out and share.

Re: Original paint 1972 Cheyenne short bed
 

Thank You!

Its a hard truck not to stare at that's for sure. I like all of the little details that have remained untouched other than maintenance.

Re: Original paint 1972 Cheyenne short bed
 

Wow! Great find. Enjoy it

Re: Original paint 1972 Cheyenne short bed
 

Sweet truck and a great story to go with it. Some things are meant to be.

Re: Original paint 1972 Cheyenne short bed
 

Thanks a lot for sharing tat beautiful truck. Its great that you were at the right place at the right time and the owner was willing to sell the truck.

Re: Original paint 1972 Cheyenne short bed
 

Sweet Survivor truck! Always fun to see one!
I am sure glad to see it go to someone who can appreciate it for what it is.
Enjoy driving it!

All The Best,
Dirk

Re: Original paint 1972 Cheyenne short bed
 

I sure will!

Yes I believe that things happen for a reason.

Yeah if that old truck would not have showed up at that very second we likely would not have had a conversation about his truck. It was kinda funny because in my head I was picturing the old farm truck kinda beat and sitting along side the tree line at first. When he mentioned Cheyenne I started to really pay attention and the last thing he said was short bed so I almost felt like I should follow him home haha.
