Nice truck! As mentioned, it'll be hard to prove it was a super without documentation as you can add all of that stuff. Does it have a headliner? Looks to have all the other cheyenne options other than the stainless piece on the tailgate handle but that easily could have been removed when it was painted...

As far as originally a factory big block...The GVW's on the vin plate do support it being a factory big block from what I've been told to look for. A couple questions...is there a heat shield on the passenger side firewall below the heater box what do the exhaust hangers look like? And have you checked the frame for modification (shortened) or checked to see if it's got a vin stamp to match the vin?
