72 Chevy Cheyenne Super 20

[gcm]

Hey guys how rare are these trucks Cheyenne Super 20 it is a 8ft box not a short bed so not sure if they are rare or not?

Can someone help?

That's a rare truck. Is it 2wd or 4wd? What options does it have? Any pictures of it?

[undertaker72]

show us some pictures and possibly the spid , I have a couple longs and shorts , but its always nice to see the sites

Could be a rare one - all we can really tell you with what you've given us to go on is that it's the top of the line trim option - so, rare or not (and, yes, I do consider it rare), it's a very desirable truck. The 8 ft vs 6 ft vs longhorn bed options only seem to count toward buying audience size - swb trucks generally bring more $ when sold, but it all depends what kind of truck YOU want. If you want a std 8 ft bed, then you're like the majority of the buying public back in 72. So, 8 ft maybe not as rare as the other 2 - a longhorn is very rare, but its popularity is less than a swb generally (then there are those of us that love Longhorns... they just weren't available from the factory as 4x4s, which seems to be my latest fever). Can't wait to see more.

All depends on the price.
Looks like a great truck!
Very desirable color combo.

a C20 Cheyenne Super Custom Camper, yep, I'd say you've got a nice one on your hands there. Pretty rare and a great combo. Congrats!

Since he is open to offers, 4K Canadian would be a great buy, almost a steal.

That is about 2700 US.
If it is a runner / driver, and not rusted out, buy it. If you wanted, you could re-sale it for a profit if you find that 402 short bed.

What does 3500 get you anymore..especially up here? If not a rustbucket id be all over that.

[undertaker72]

that's a nice truck , looks like its been taken care of , thanks for the pictures

That seems like a decent price, but it doesn't sound like the truck that you truly want. What do you want?

[gcm]

well i would have preferred big block or a short bed but this truck is from a dealership in the city i live in and is still around the truck has been owned by the same family since it was 2 years old and seems to be a great buy but I don't want to be jumping into anything with out asking some people that know more then i do (that would be your guys)

But it will be my daily driver once its restored

[1968aj]

sounds like a good price to me. mines not as clean as that one and I would not take that for mine. mine is a longhorn Cheyenne super big block.

[71swb4x4]

There were a lot of 67-72 trucks of all types made. Hold out for what you truly want. Sounds like a swb big block is what the doctor ordered.

i like all these trucks I found a 71 suburban c20 with some very rare options has it all but A/C big block, buckets and center console, tilt. And then a 67 panel truck that is all original with 283 V8s yup not made with that engine they were made with 290 in line 6 or the 327 V8 and they only made 30 that year BUT the one I got was a truck owned and ordered by the BC government for forestry with the 283 engine and 4x4 and was one of 8 and 5 of them were lost in a forest fire.

I just like saving the rare trucks because too many people cut them up and just kill the originality

[jocko]

barring something not easily seen in pics - yes, it's very worth 3500. A 3/4 tonner will grow on you. I used to be in the swb 402 crowd (i.e. was always looking for one), and they ARE very cool. But if it's a driver, the C20 super and camper options are pretty darn nice for a driver. I think that is a great deal. But, if it's 3500 you now can't put into the search for the swb big block, and you really want one, you should hold off. Hard to do when a good deal like this comes along. I am all 3/4 now and am not turning back. Well, unless a good deal comes along... Ha.

Ad states it needs rockers....

350 Auto. Power Steering, Power Brake.107,000 miles, Air Cared, runs good. Daily driver.Been in family since 2 years old .Recent Exhaust,new rear Brake drums,Shocks,Tie Rods,Wheel bearings,Alignment....Rockers rusted,needs body work,interior,oak deck....$7,000 in receipts.Asking $4,500 obo.


I haven't seen many Cheyenne Supers in my time so yes it is somewhat rare and desirable (rare does not always mean desirable). But I would personally shop for something without rust, instead of a top of the line truck.

Bingo. These trucks are all the same. "Top of the line" is nothing more than badges and accessories, which are a lot easier to add to a truck than fixing rust.
