That looks like a pretty good looking truck. Most people don't care for the clearance/marker lights on top. I think they look good personally.
As for the 400 badging, there is absolutly no telling why they did that. GM did a lot of stupid things back then. They confused there own people back then, and are confusing many people to this day. If they woulda called it what it was from day one it woulda made so much more sence. Just like all the camaros and chevelles made after 69... they never had 396 either, all 402. And if you've ever heard of the caddy 501... that's bogus too, only a 500.
Yeah, my 72 Chevelle has a 402. I don't get the badging stuff, makes no sense.
