The ‘Trans-American’ 1972 Cheyenne super Survivor - Thread

This was very unplanned

A month ago when I was back home in California I saw this truck for sale down in Kentuky. Interesting, so I got in touch with the seller.
Had the usual conversation. Along the way, he said ‘No, that is the original mileage, it hasn’t been rolled over’ !
Filed the truck away in my memory
Moved on with my days
And then flew back to our place in Massachusetts on a round trip ticket
At some point 72Tigger texted me that he was going to truck show in TN
Said you should come down, he already had the hotel room
Hmm, KY is on the way to TN
And I need to get my 2019 Silverado back to Ca
So I looked up where that truck was located
It was right along the way
That’s a no brainer
‘Honey, I’m driving back to California’

Could it be true…
Those are the original miles ?
Surely I would have to go find out

Beautiful truck, and rare as hens teeth for these parts. Hope to see some P01’s, and white walls on it soon ��

Re: The ‘Trans-American’ 1972 Cheyenne super Survivor - Thread

After the SETN show dave6672 was nice enough to invite me over
We had a awesome afternoon
BS’ing about life and trucks
His wife was nice enough to invite me in for dinner
Afterwards, Dave drove me around the countryside where he has spent his life
A beautiful place, where the Kentuky River joins the Ohio river
What a view from his deck !!
And my ‘tour vehicle’ Right along the Ohio River
Thanks, Dave

Re: The ‘Trans-American’ 1972 Cheyenne super Survivor - Thread

When I had met up with Kirk (72Tigger)
Before the show, I had told him I had bought the truck
‘Well Eric,
‘We’ve got time to kill, let’s go find a trailer so you can tow that truck home’
Uh, okay

So I asked the seller if I could leave the trailer at his house while
I went to visit a friend. Id be back the next day.
He said no problem, I won’t be home tomorrow
I’ll leave it out, pick it up when you can
The title and keys will be on the seat
Uh, okay
If that’s what you do in Kentuky
I’m good

Re: The ‘Trans-American’ 1972 Cheyenne super Survivor - Thread

I'm not sure how well that speaks for us "Kentuckians", letting one like that leave the state! Beautiful truck, by the way. My cousins live on the West coast and when they visit, we take them to places and they are overwhelmed with country life. Enjoy it, rare find indeed.
P.S. That singer is a local fellow, 25 miles from our home.
Come back anytime.

If you decide to part it out, I'd be interested in the whole truck! Great find indeed. I hope you made or are making it back safely

I was wondering if you got it picked up today, glad it went well. As I mentioned, I made the trip to my sister-in-laws near Atlanta today, so I’m hanging here for a few days.

Had a great visit with you, stop by again anytime and safe travels my friend. Dave

Hey Kenny,
I’m sure we will have a beer or two by summer’s end
Sorry, but
The trailer will probably be sold when I get back to California

It would be a perfect parts truck for sure
Almost as good as what ‘titup’ used to part out
Not home yet
Working my way through the heartland now

The Kentuckian who sold it to me was definitely not a truck guy
He bought it out of an auction from the original owners son
He did however, know enough to leave it alone
Just got it road worthy
Actually kept the original carburetor and ignition
Which he gave to me
Next time I’m in the area I’ll look you up

This is the first truck I’ve ever had with a hood ornament
Looks like the wings are broken off

Anyone have knowledge
Of what this swan looked like before?

Why would a Chevy truck have a swan on it ?

Eric, I remember seeing that truck listed for sale after sorting through the files in my mind. I briefly chatted with the seller when I noticed the vin is super close to my truck. Very cool how you ended up with it.

Those hood ornaments were really popular with the folks running medium duty trucks around here back in the day. I’ve seen a few pickups that I call a rolling JC Whitney catalog.
