I dont know if I would call a 71 Super "rare" as much as "uncommon". The Super was added late in the 71 model year, so there aren't as many produced as in 72. Dont know how many were made, but definitely fewer left today. That is a pretty low option truck for being the top of the line, but sometimes dealers would order them so they could advertise a top of the line truck for cheap to get people I to the dealership, then upsale them on a more expensive modle with the options they wanted. Yours was ordered with rear leaf springs which is kind of uncommon on a 1/2 ton Chevy .
