I been slowly upgrading my 72 Cheyenne to a Super. Yesterday I completed this after pulling my fenders to install the missing Hinge Pillar to Fender Seals and getting Repo'ed Super badges installed. When I finally decided to pull the fenders for the seals, this is when I decided going the "Super" upgrade. Since if I was going to pull the fenders, why not put the Super badge on too?
Before pulling the fenders I upgraded my dash with Wood Grain cluster (a repo) and glovebox with woodgrain and 72 Super Badge (donor from eBay). I had already put on a chrome handle when I needed to replace my tailgate. It isn't a chrome cover, which would be correct for a '72 but a full chrome handle (correct for '71). I got a new SPID, so it would be RPO YE9 for Cheyenne
Super.
I am very happy to have this done. I hope you guys think I did okay with my upgrade :-)

*Note: Cheyenne (and other higher end trims) should have the seals that I needed to install. However, when my truck went through its restore about 20 years ago they were not put back on after the body/paint work (all the screw holes were present). It can also be a sign that a truck has been updated to a higher trim then how it came from the factory. Meaning if a truck doesn't have the "Hinge Pillar to Fender Seals" you could get questions about your trim level being faked.
