Which truck to keep? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72blazen · 04-23-2015, 12:09 PM

I have to sale one of my trucks. One is a Red-Orange 1972 C10 Cheyenne Super SWB with AM/FM. The other is Red 1972 C10 Cheyenne shortbed step with working A/C. Both truck's are in similar condition and options. What do you guys think?

Fldawg · 04-23-2015, 12:35 PM

i like the a/c option on the stepside, but keep the swb fleet

Togan66 · 04-23-2015, 12:39 PM

The Super for sure!

sduckworth13 · 04-23-2015, 12:44 PM

X2 No question the fleetside super

In The Ten Ring · 04-23-2015, 12:47 PM

I'm biased, just like everyone on this forum. I'd keep the stepside. Fleets are everywhere!

treveiger · 04-23-2015, 12:49 PM

Fleet super!

Bladeboy1998 · 04-23-2015, 06:38 PM

I have to say step side, sounds like a more rare optioned truck.

Shorts Steps less made I would keep it

**leddzepp** · 04-23-2015, 08:50 PM

I wouldn't sail a truck, it will sink.

If you are looking to sell one of those trucks, the short fleet will bring you the most money If they are in the same condition.

It's funny how many people say sale when they mean sell. But it wouldn't sink unless you were to sail it.

I'd keep whatever one I liked most.

**invicta455** · 04-23-2015, 08:55 PM

i would say keep the step

70LonghornCST · 04-23-2015, 08:58 PM

Technically, if it was sailing, it be sailing, not sinking. However, if you attempted to sail a truck, it would sink...unless, of course, you had some serious pontoon mods going on

70LonghornCST · 04-23-2015, 09:00 PM

Oh, keep the Cheyenne!

fourspeedwagon · 04-23-2015, 09:55 PM

If it's a "need a parking space" situation, I'd keep the Super. "Need Money!" situation I'd guess the Super would bring a bit more and send it down the road.

I wouldn't kick either out of my garage for dripping a little oil though..

**71swb4x4** · 04-23-2015, 10:08 PM

I would sell the step side. The fleet super is more desirable IMO. If you ever get yourself into a bind again you will own the truck that will be the easiest to sell.

c20pickup · 04-23-2015, 10:11 PM

stepside no doubt! everybody has a fleetside shortbed it seems like!

**Stocker** · 04-23-2015, 10:22 PM

Definitely need pics. With no other info, keep the one you like best and sail -- er, sale -- no, make that sell the other one!

72blazen · 04-23-2015, 10:27 PM

Thanks for everyone's replies. Here are some pictures. The stepside is currently lowered 3/4 with 20" wheels.

lowbucktrucks · 04-23-2015, 10:33 PM

Just remember,its a lot easier to change beds than it is to change to AC.
Also, you could change beds before you sell and have a short fleet with AC

fourspeedwagon · 04-23-2015, 10:42 PM

Except they both look to have nice - but different color- paint jobs. That throws that idea

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 04-23-2015, 11:28 PM

Thanks for the pictures. Keep the Super. That must have come with A/C, right?
