Here's a plain one compared to the others on here.Somebody at one time added cruise,radio and another fuel tank.It must not of came with power steering but has it now.

72supr · 02-06-2017, 06:28 PM

Here's the spid.

CG · 02-06-2017, 08:02 PM

Are all the wood grains the same pattern, or do they change? Can you get good repros of these for the door panels, cluster, and glove box for 72's?

So many nice trucks in this thread!

**Ol Blue K20** · 02-06-2017, 08:30 PM

Nice idea for the thread Jocko. I'm loving it

71 super · 02-06-2017, 09:55 PM

Yes all three are genuine supers, spids intact. The 4x4 has shoulder belts and buckets added by me because I had them and wanted to. The red and white is pretty plain, factory tach, tilt and ac with steering brakes. The black and white is loaded. I added factory overflow bottle and tissue holder as well as dealer 8 track

Ekliptix · 02-07-2017, 03:13 PM

And a 4x4 My dad had for a while.

jojomiamia · 02-07-2017, 04:06 PM

Does my one fit ?

I own it since two months and I think it's one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life.

I feel like Colt Seavers... seriously it makes me feel like in my young ages. The cheapest time machine, and sure not the ugliest one !!

Nice truck
Looks like it ended up far away from California, where it was originally sold
The original Yellow over green is a very rare color
I've never seen one, don't even think there is a good picture of it on the board
Yes, these definitely are feel good trucks

*randy500* · 02-08-2017, 01:28 AM

I guess I will add one of mine....cant find the pic of the other half of the SPID, its in my build thread I think.

**SoCoC10** · 02-08-2017, 08:49 AM

One of my favorite color combos.

Ekliptix · 02-08-2017, 11:02 AM

Thanks for the information and feedback about determining if my 72 is a real Super or not. I'd really love it to be. I'll search for the build sheet under the seat this week. Hopefully it's there and I can get some questions answered. Awesome trucks on this thread!!

If you think you're sheetmetal is original to the truck you could look inside the front fenders for evidence of any holes being welded up from the upper molding.

Do have the pictured gaskets between the front fender and cowl. Open your door and look past the hinges and real Supers have them, but they could be added in a rebuild. If they are there and look 40 + years old you probably have an original Super. If your truck was a Fremont Plant build the broadcast sheets are usually in the seat springs.

I was wondering what that was. Thought perhaps my 71 Deluxe was missing them.

**robs71** · 02-08-2017, 03:51 PM

Great point Already Gone...the forgotten clue that darn gasket that never comes off in one piece...Ekliptix has one bad shorty there..i don't care what it was born as.

*randy500* · 02-08-2017, 04:07 PM

I agree that green super is a beautiful truck and seems to have all the Cheyenne super equipment.

**Ol Blue K20** · 02-08-2017, 07:29 PM

The gasket came on Cheyenne too.

bacato · 02-08-2017, 09:10 PM

So was the tachometer ever included in a package, or was it simply an individual option?

Becker67 · 02-08-2017, 09:23 PM

Here's my 72 unsure if it's real it's also missing the spid. I think it has most everything that it should have to be real.

Becker67 · 02-08-2017, 09:25 PM

The inside

Becker67 · 02-08-2017, 09:27 PM

The rear

Can't tell if you have the bright tailgate handle in the picture. It's possible that someone wanted to change the interior to black as mentioned above and swapped out, or even painted, the original olive, blue, or parchment panels.

I also can't tell in the picture the paint color of your glovebox door - is it black or red? If it is black, is your VIN's plant (7th character) code "S"? A red Cheyenne would absolutely have a red gb door whereas a red Super could have a red OR black gb door). I think it was a St Louis plant thing, but don't quote me on that... Black door is not definitive proof, but it's one clue of several. Anyway, hope that helps.

It does have the stainless tailgate handle cover. The glovebox door is all red. The code on mine is a z.
