Return of the Chevy Cheyenne truck...?

Well... not really, but a neat interpretation onto a new Chevy with retro style paint pattern ans white wagon wheels- I think it is pretty creative!

Break out the bell bottoms because a Chevrolet dealer resurrected the 1970s Cheyenne Super 10









Blake Greenfield Chevrolet Buick has been making some big news on the custom pickup scene with a Silverado build thatโ€™s been dressed up like a 1970s Cheyenne Super 10.

Greenfield tells Fox News that he got the idea last fall when they took delivery of a Silverado painted a special order Woodland Green color that gave it an old school look. He decided to run with it and turn it into an eye-catching retro truck that he could use as a promotional vehicle for the dealership, with no plans to put it on sale.

With fond memories of a 1973 Chevy pickup that his dad drove until his death in 2004 in mind, Greenfield and his team designed decals for the sides and tailgate to give the Silverado a trimmed-out two-tone look. Then they bolted metal Cheyenne badges to the fenders, added Big 10 logos on the bed, lifted the suspension and strapped on a set of white wagon rims for the full moustache-era effect. Itโ€™s like a Cheyenne Super 10 greatest hits.

Not long after they parked it out front of the showroom, someone driving by stopped to take a photo and posted it to their Facebook page where it quickly blew up. The next thing he knew, Greenfield was getting interest in it from all over the country, so he decided to turn it into a package and offer as a dealer-installed $5,995 option that includes chrome door handles and mirror caps if the donor truck doesnโ€™t have them. It's also available through a sister dealership in Spring Valley.

Greenfieldโ€™s built a handful so far, including a black and white standard cab and a blue and silver crew cab with paint instead of decals that a fellow flew in from New York to pick up. Itโ€™s become so popular that at least one other Chevy dealer is already copying it, and even Dale Earnhardt took notice and tweeted out โ€œ**** this is a good idea.โ€

And itโ€™s one that Greenfield says heโ€™s glad that he had. Not because heโ€™s making a fortune off it (at least not yet!), but because of how much fun heโ€™s been having watching it put smiles on the faces of like-minded fans.

I always thought the 2014-2015 Silverados looked like the old square body trucks. People said I was crazy.

I had a Big O, 79 I think with a 350. I sold to a friend and he is still driving it. The new units are a bit pricey, at least the one I saw advertised, $57K.

I like it!
But... I donโ€™t know if Iโ€™d actually buy it. I know it needs the โ€œwagon wheelsโ€ to get the look, but I always hated those even back in the โ€˜70s and โ€˜80s when they were the current thing.
I had them, in both white and chrome, but really didnโ€™t like โ€˜em.

I saw this yesterday too and thought what a great old look on a modern truck. I have a white truck and could add the accent color to compliment my truck camper. A vinyl wrap could probably be done for much less money, provide paint protection, and could be changed out pretty easy to compliment a different brand camper.

He!! Yeah!
And the 2014s almost look like an old square body if you squint! That wouldn't "work" as well on other models.
