Nice find and pretty much intact including the underwood A/C stuff Pretty much my favorite color combo on a 72 and Cheyenne Super to boot. If I had the funds and that truck I would consider doing a frame off and making it a short box..

68chevycst · 12-15-2019, 01:51 AM

Thanks guys! I got it running today. Got to do a carb rebuild and tune up. I'm planning on building a short box out of it.

52napco · 12-15-2019, 09:16 AM

Heres a K20 I bought last week in modesto..solid cab but rough bed from debris left in it for years. Might restore this one.

68chevycst · 12-29-2019, 10:40 PM

Here are some pictures of my 1972 Sierra Grande 4x4. It was a pretty loaded truck for its time. I have the identical truck in a 72 Cheyenne Super except that truck came with bucket seats and a console. I need to get some pictures of it next and post them. Trying to keep this thread going running out of trucks though!

52napco · 12-29-2019, 10:56 PM

Ill help keep it going....heres the one i bought this week..

68chevycst · 12-29-2019, 11:06 PM

Sweet truck 52napco! Nice find!

646870SS · 12-31-2019, 12:56 PM

Did GM make the Super Cheyenne models at all plants?

Now that's good question I've never seen before. I bet member Keith Seymour can answer that one..

646870SS · 12-31-2019, 05:54 PM

Reason I am asking is that I have a Baltimore truck with a SPID that has the Cheyenne Super (4x4) markings on it.

52napco · 12-31-2019, 06:50 PM

Post a picture of the spid

646870SS · 12-31-2019, 07:20 PM

Here you go. Maybe this will help?

That SPID is not a real one unfortunately. The font is wrong and the options should be in alphabetical order going left to right and then down

646870SS · 12-31-2019, 07:42 PM

I am glad I asked and posted it up - I don't have a lot of experience with these trucks. I have had the truck for about 18 years, and have just started redoing it last year... body and paint is done. Has all the pieces parts - the correct wood grain door panels, and all the stuff on the SPID is present on the truck. Thanks for looking at it. Still will be a nice truck when done, was definitely worth saving!

52napco · 12-31-2019, 11:15 PM

Just enjoy the truck... spid is not legit but unless trying to sell for big money its all good

**Steeveedee** · 12-31-2019, 11:44 PM

Not trying to quibble, just trying to understand. What is wrong with the font? I can't tell the difference between his SPID and mine (which is a 1970), which I know to be original. I do see that the options are not in alphanumeric order. Was that hard and fast? I see on mine that the transmission spelling is wrong, which is not uncommon.

**72 tigger** · 01-01-2020, 12:47 AM

I thought the font looks real close, but was confused why it listed a dome switch on a super

**68bowtie** · 01-01-2020, 02:11 AM

Font looks close to me too, but something just looks visually wrong. Maybe too clean.

646870SS · 01-01-2020, 11:49 AM

I bought this back in 2000 cause it was a cool short bed 4x4 - really didn't know about a SPID till I started digging into the restoration. Was advertised as a 72 Chevy 4x4. Everything on the truck was original and had not been apart before. Truck sat for over 18 years in garage - who or what determines what info gets printed on a SPID? I have been looking at others and they seem to be all over the place with specs, terminology and even the way some of the typing is done. What is the E81 code? After I discovered this site and all the helpful people on here, this has been a great resource! No matter what this truck is - I am not going to portray it as something it is not. Just looking for some clarification.

Lots of cool options listed on it! I’m a 4wd fan on these year models and noticed the front stabilizer option. I’ve never seen that before. Can you post a pic of the front stabilizer? Thanks
