Pics: The Rock
Just sold one of these, it is a shame it is going overseas. Very rare model, and it is nice too if you can tolerate the kitsch accessories.

I'm lucky enough to own one - LOVE IT. DM did a great job with their '72 Cheyenne's'......
... as well as ALL their pickups.
I've got '4' of the DM '72 Cheyennes:
- THE ROCK
- the gold + white
- the red _ white
- The Indianapolis Colts theme truck / blue + white
...Why? My favorite 1:1 was a '72 Custom Deluxe / 3/4-ton / Cheyenne trim. I never should've sold that truck.
BTW... Chav, thanks for posting these photos.

If it means seeing more truck photos - I don't mind being predictable! LOL! Your project sounds...
... GREAT. I used to be a modeler when I was much younger; but, my eyes and hands won't let me do 'that' anymore. Oh, well.
So Real does some nice looking trucks. I like the 'monster 4x4s'; but, I lean towards the more stock versions...i.e. the M2 '59 GMC 4x4 - which I also have.
However, So Real does a '77 (or so) Chevy 4x4 / red - that I've been thinking about.
Is So Real still in business? I don't think I've ever heard anybody say one way or the other.

My Dads' '72 Super Cheyenne was also loaded; but his was a 3/4-ton Camper Special. His...
... was loaded just like yours... '402ci'...etc.
His was dark olive metallic green + white.
That was the prettiest '72 Cheyenne I EVER saw.
My '72 was solid blue and a 'looker' as well.
Ah.... the good, old days.
The truck I sold my '72 to get was a '86 Chevy 1/2-ton 4x4 which also solid blue.
Guys also wanted my '86...in fact, it was stolen right out of my driveway. Never found. Geez.

I learned about So Real from Gene's pictures ...
? I am not a truck guy but I felt a monster truck would fit better the Rock's image. I have no idea if So Real still makes diecast.

Picked up one awhile back. Goes good with the Michael Jordan Camaro

Dark Olive Metallic Green \ White That truly is an XCLNT color combo !!!
I know exactly what you are talking about
That color combo just sets the Cheyenne apart from all the rest of the color offerings

I agree. Seldom seen at car shows; but, it was PURDY.

'THE ROCK' as a monster truck would be 'ROCK SOLID'...pun intended! LOL!
