We have an insane member here, Chevyland. He bought a survivor SWB Cheyenne Super and drove it back to Sonoma, CA...and not a straight shot. He and his son took many diversions, such as running up to OR or WA to pick up a seat for it.


I bought this '71 Cheyenne Custom Camper w/camper, 1 owner from Nissan dealer, for $3k on election day '88. In June '89 we took a vacation to Grande Canyon and other points of interest in the S/W. Many many camping trips in that rig

Stock or modified?

'69 K10 (see details in my sig)
Fall '93 - coming up on 30 years.
Modified. I bought it with a tired late-model 305, which I jerked out to make room for the family pet 327. I replaced the dash cluster with a '67 version to give my a hand choke. I needed a replacement bed so went with a longstep. Otherwise nearly bone stock.

I've had mine for 30 yrs or better and am so old I don't remember what I paid for it at the time. But since have sunk some long green into it.

Probably about a grand, maybe. You have a nice one. Been in that saddle a good while, cowboy!

May have been even cheaper than that. My brother bought it from an older gentleman. I picked it up from him. And he’s always been a grinder when he buys anything.

This is my truck. Purchased in the mid 80's from a good friend for $ 2500 who got it from the orig owner from Texas. I've used this truck as designed for many years and it's now getting the attention it deserves after all the use.

I have a 1970 C10 that was given to my Dad for free in 1999 with no motor. He gave it to me for my first vehicle and helped me get a 350 sbc. We rebuilt it and got it running. Over the 20+ years, Ive kept working on it and have it currently looking like this.
