Description

1974 Chevrolet Super Cheyenne 10. This is a rare one. It is a numbers matching 454/400/12bolt. This truck has a title still in original owners name. It needs full restoration but what a beauty it would be.

Someone took the short bed off when it was in the barn for over 30 years. I have not tied to start it so I know nothing about the running gear other than original.

The Chevrolet Cheyenne was General Motors' answer to the question: can a truck be both capable and comfortable? For two decades it was the top-trim C/K pickup — the truck that made it acceptable to use a work vehicle as a daily driver without apology.

Chevrolet Cheyenne Buyer's Guide

Robert Halloran here. The Cheyenne name means something specific in the classic truck world — it was Chevrolet's top trim level for the C/K series from 1971 through 1994, positioning it above the Custom and Custom Deluxe as the luxury expression of the work truck. If you wanted the best Chevy pickup money could buy in 1972, you ordered a Cheyenne Super. The name has carried weight ever since.

Cheyenne trucks are now collected both as examples of peak 1970s truck luxury and as platforms for restomods where the full-length trim package adds a finished, upmarket look that bare Custom trucks can't replicate. Finding a clean original Cheyenne is worth the effort — these are the trucks that were actually cared for, because the people who paid Cheyenne prices tended to be the people who maintained their investment.

What to Check Before Buying

✓

Interior Originality — Inspect woodgrain trim inserts for correct pattern — replacement woodgrain is usually visibly different from original.

✓

Upholstery — Verify upholstery material and pattern matches Cheyenne specification for the model year.

✓

Carpet vs Rubber Mats — Cheyenne trucks had full carpeting — rubber mat replacements indicate interior wear or amateur restoration.

✓

Cheyenne Badging — Confirm Cheyenne emblems are present on the cab and tailgate — missing badging often indicates trim-level misrepresentation.

✓

Cab Corner Rust — Probe cab corners — rust here is nearly universal on untreated Squarebody trucks.

✓

Floor Pan & Rear Cab Mounts — Inspect floor pans from underneath and check rear cab mount area on 1973+ trucks.

✓

Door Trim Panels — Check Cheyenne-specific door trim panels for correct material and condition — reproductions vary in quality.

✓

Drivetrain Verification — Confirm engine and transmission match claimed specification via firewall tag decode.

Common Issues

Interior wear and replacement — the most common devaluation factor for Cheyenne trucks. Woodgrain trim fading, cracking, or replacement with incorrect materials. Carpet replacement with rubber mats. Same structural issues as all C/K trucks: cab corner rust, floor pan perforation, rear cab mount corrosion on Squarebody generation. Cheyenne-specific door trim panel deterioration.

What to Look For

Verify interior originality — this is what separates a premium Cheyenne from an equivalent Custom. Look for original Cheyenne-specific woodgrain trim inserts, correct upholstery pattern and material for the year, and full carpeting throughout (not rubber mats). On 1971–1972 trucks, verify the Cheyenne Super trim package if claimed. Check for the standard C/K rust issues: cab corners, floor pans, rear cab mounts. Confirm Cheyenne-specific exterior badging is present and correct.

Price Guide

1971–1972 Cheyenne on second-gen body: $25,000–$55,000 for correct examples. 1973–1974 Cheyenne Super (Squarebody): $20,000–$40,000. 1975–1987 Cheyenne (mid-tier): $12,000–$28,000. 1988–1994 OBS Cheyenne: $8,000–$20,000 for clean low-mileage examples. Intact original Cheyenne interiors add $4,000–$10,000 premium over comparable Custom trucks.

Did You Know?

The "Cheyenne Super" (1971–1973) was available with an interior package so upscale that it was compared favorably to Chevrolet passenger cars of the same era in contemporary automotive press tests. The name "Cheyenne" was chosen to evoke the frontier spirit — a tradition of naming some Chevrolet trucks after Native American peoples (Cheyenne, Apache) that continues to this day.
