* Trim level: Cheyenne was an upscale trim level within the C/K series. There were various options and packages available, significantly affecting the final cost.
* Engine: The available engines ranged from inline-sixes to big-block V8s. More powerful engines meant a higher price.
* Options: Power steering, air conditioning, automatic transmission, different interior fabrics, and other add-ons all increased the base price.
* Dealer markup: Dealers could (and did) add their own markup to the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP).
To find a potential price range, you'd need to specify the exact configuration of the truck (engine, transmission, options, etc.). Even then, finding exact original MSRP data for a 1976 vehicle can be challenging. Resources like old car brochures or classic car price guides might offer some clues, but a precise number will be difficult to locate.
