The nicest shortbox I've ever seen... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Found this in my "research" pile back when I was still looking for a truck. Don't know if it belongs to anyone here, but it's very nice. The color is similar to but a little darker than my 508, but could be for all I know. Says it's 523, which is likely a two tone (but not 592).

long67 · 12-30-2015, 02:17 PM

Yep ,thats a beauty.

sameyrasmea72 · 12-30-2015, 02:32 PM

Very nice!! Another really nice truck with the "super" emblem in the wrong spot.

WarMonger · 12-30-2015, 02:50 PM

That is really nice. One of the best looking trucks I have seen.

tommys72 · 12-30-2015, 04:29 PM

Nice truck with nice options

New_70'C10 · 12-30-2015, 05:28 PM

She's a beaut' Clark.

**special-K** · 12-30-2015, 10:38 PM

She's so fine

Sicklajoie · 12-30-2015, 10:43 PM

I'm not a short bed or 1/2 ton type of guy, but that's a pretty nice truck.
Is the way the roof painted the way they did it just in 67 and 68?

**lolife99** · 12-30-2015, 10:52 PM

Such a nice truck!
I'm not trying to pick on this truck,... But for the Cheyenne Super experts,... What all is incorrect about this truck?
Trying to improve my Cheyenne Super knowledge.

Should it have the upper side mouldings?
Windshield and back glass trim?
What else?

Pretty much already listed above but wrong console and should not have hounds tooth. Looks like most of the changes were done on purpose though.

That a sweet ride right there, awesome job.

**Joesjunk** · 12-31-2015, 11:54 AM

Just an interesting side note, according to the SPID, this truck did not have power steering or power brakes from the factory.

What is wrong with the super emblem placement?

Have we stored the arcane knowledge of what's included with options packages somewhere? Like maybe Cheyenne Super included power brakes and steering? Not saying it does, just wondering.

67swb72klb · 12-31-2015, 02:43 PM

power steering or power brakes were not part of a Cheyenne or Cheyenne Super

long67 · 12-31-2015, 03:15 PM

The two tone is 67/68 style.

You're right, that was sort of staring us in the face.

Definitely not built to be Concours correct, they built what they wanted. I still like it though, and unlike most "other people's builds" I like the little liberties they took.

Since it's drawn some attention, here are a couple of other photos:

Agree, nicely done. At least they finished their project.

sameyrasmea72 · 12-31-2015, 04:46 PM

Beautiful truck for sure!!! I'm like 98% sure there was a thread on this same truck 4 or 5 years ago.

The super should be under the Cheyenne on both sides.

midniteblues · 12-31-2015, 06:58 PM

certainly is a very nice truck tastefully done. i like the way they did it.
that blue is a amazing color i'm loving that.
as much as i like the wood grain it does give a odd contrast too the blue although not bad.

i give it three thumbs up

**special-K** · 01-01-2016, 01:59 PM

There are too many nicest SWB Cheyenne Supers for me to nail a top 10 (or 100?) down.

**RodnRudy** · 01-01-2016, 02:25 PM

I thought my Chevy shortbox was the nicest ever seen. LOL

hdff · 01-01-2016, 08:51 PM

Believe it or not that is the exact truck the guy I bought my truck from was using to model his/my truck after. He used the same color code just different interior. But the 402 looks the same, sort of. Also he thought the "A" pillar looked better white like stock. He showed me these exact pics of this show truck
