Vinyl trim does not equal vinyl top, dude.

Vinyl trim is far from a rare option on these trucks. As far as I know, GM didn't do a vinyl top on any of these trucks from the factory (or any truck for that matter, now that I think about it).

Also, people's memories do fade. My dad swore up and down that my '70 had a '71/'72 black/chrome grille instead of a '70 full chrome grille until he had it rechromed...until I showed him an old picture of it - that he had taken, no less! - proving him wrong.

Regardless, the rest of the options are pretty nice ones and it sounds like it could be a pretty sweet truck. Waiting for the pics.

Edit: One other thing, the 17-digit VIN didn't come around until the 1980's, IIRC.
