Re: Cheyenne Super Suburban?

You are way overthinking this. The easiest Cheyenne Super to build as a Suburban would be a 71. It used the narrow wood trim at the top. This should be easily transferable to the third and blank door panels. Then it is a matter if you want to continue them onto the inner rear quarter trim panels or not. The exterior lower trim woodgrain is just a vinyl and a close reproduction is available by the roll. The biggest issue will be the belt molding that was included in the Cheyene Super on pickups and needed if you want to paint it in the Deluxe Two-Tone paint so often found on Supers. A little mixing, trimming and matching of pickup parts should solve that problem. At one time I had thought out a K20 72 Cheyene Super panel truck. But in the end without the Deluxe Two-Tone, as I'd prefer, it just wouldn't look right.
