Maybe we can meet next time I'm up there or your down here
Yea. I saw when you listed the seat
I wasn't sure of our route at that time, so I couldn't say (I'll take it)
It is perfect for this truck (exactly what I was looking for)

I cleaned out the truck from the trip today

Probably going to buff paint out and leave it the way it is
I tested a couple spots, and it takes a shine
Maybe look for some used but better lower trim

Re: 72 Super Roadtrip-Coast to Coast

It definitely needs a good tune up, brake check, lube etc.
But drives remarkably well for an original 130k truck
I think most everything is original except, missing metal fuel line to carb

Re: 72 Super Roadtrip-Coast to Coast

Such a great find. This thread is about the truck, yet not until you've gotten home have I focused closely on what you actually ended up with back home. Yeah, I knew you found and bought a very original surviving '72 Cheyenne Super SWB Fleetside, but it's home and it's from this point on now. You haven't had it a month and it has already treated you right, and given a lifetime memory. Yep, I'd say that's a great truck you got there.
