Dealership offering ‘new’ Cheyenne
Pennsylvania truck retailer offers to convert Silverado LT to look like retro Super 10
A Pennsylvania truck dealership is offering nostalgic customers a newold truck in the form of a Cheyenne Super 10-inspired appearance package for its range of Chevrolet 2018 pickups.
Valley Chevrolet’s “Big 10” conversion kit can be fitted to any Chevy truck on its lot, and includes 18-inch rally wheels, a 3.5-inch lift, chrome mirrors and door handles and twotone striping and badging.
The Cheyenne made its debut in 1971 as Chevrolet’s top-of-the-line pickup truck, but Valley prefers to fit the optional package to Silverado LT base models. Even with its cloth seats, we’d wager today’s bottom-rung pickup still puts the “luxury” of the Cheyenne to shame.
The dealership has done Double Cab and Crew Cab versions of the Big 10 so far, moving two so-equipped trucks with a third, in Tangier Orange, waiting on the lot for a new buyer.
Prices are in the high US$40,000 range.
The first dealership to kick off the retro pickup look was Blake Greenfield Chevrolet Buick, which last December offered a similar-looking square body-inspired Silverado with white steel wheels and a custom-fitted front bumper.
