I've never seen a Super Pro with aluminum necks, but I'm sure they exist. Some of the necks on Ebay appear to be from a Pro-III:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-70s-Sho-Bud-Pedal-Steel-Guitar-Aluminum-Neck-New-Old-Stock/391344787179?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D37182%26meid%3D381ed1bed5d14cbdbd868a0d8a5a6239%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D391473470832

There are some others listed in that store as "Sho-Bud" that are not, they have a cut tail. There is least one that is listed as "12 string" but the widths listed are 10 string.

You will also need the Pro-III style upper changer mount block to use one of these necks, and if it's going on a Super Pro, the lower mounts and end plates are different than a Pro III so you might need to fabricate a few other bits to get everything to work together.

They look similar to Pro III necks, but it's hard to tell from the angle of the pic. The butt end of the changer is much closer to the end plate than on a Pro III though, and the end wraparound part of the neck appears more slight in that pic (or perhaps non-existent, a cut-tail?). Perhaps someone with a factory aluminum neck Super Pro can share a top view picture of the changer with you. Here's what it looks like on a Pro III :



The necks on the Ebay site appear to be the same as this. Good luck!
