Accumulated parts will finally be used..

[sameyrasmea72]

I have been hanging around here the last few years, mainly trying to learn more about these trucks, but hopefully helping someone else out ever now and then. But now I will be needing lots of help.

Yesterday, I bought my next project. it’s a one owner 72 ,½ ton, Cheyenne super 402 mustard and white. The PO recently passed way and I happened to be in the right place at the right time to get the truck. It has 97k original miles and is in great shape. The only rust I have seen is on the battery tray.

The interesting part is that it has the original title dated 6-13-72 ( late production date I’ am guessing) with the previous owner of Longhorn Chevrolet in Wichita falls. And today in the glove box I found the protect-o-plate.

I am sure I will have tons of questions in the future, but I will start with this one. I thought the vin #’s on these trucks started with just CE, but this one has a CCE. Does the CCE seem odd or am I just confused?

I don’t have any pics yet, but I will post a couple of my last(been awhile) project just cause I know you guys gotta see something.
