just bought this truck for 400 bones. it must have came from Utah. this thing is rusted to heck. but it has a lot of potential.

I have the same truck.Whats your plans?

[bigwillie82]

well i want to put a 90's sport side bed on it. the old one is beyond repair. i got to get new corners and floor for it. i was gonna put a 1980 stepside on it but people think there gold around here. it is a 73 Cheyenne super 10 4x4. i want to put it back to the way it was factory. aww the possibilities.
i have not seen very many Cheyenne super 10 around does anyone know why it was called the super?

Cheyenne Super was the top of the line trim. It's essentially a Silverado before they came up with that moniker.

Cheyenne Super was the top Trim level for 73-74, the changed to Silverado in 1975.  As Prong stated, they are identical.

[Swims350]

not bad, don't like the newer bed on it but for $50 can't beat that.

[beastie_3]

Good start

[bake74]

     Can't beat $50.00 for a good bed at all

Yea and here I thought I got a steal for mine at 125$

[Old77]

What are your plans to make the bodylines match up?

Have you made any progress on the rusty floor, cab corners and rockers that you mentioned in your original post?

[three8six]

All you have to do is make it sit lower, and make you're own bed mounts. We made mine out of 3/8 steel just made 4 of them and put grade 8 bolts through them.

[Swims350]

I think the main thing on the body lines is fill the top line in the one that's between the fiberglass bedside and the steel top rail.
