is correct about the options being seperate animals, in that you could chose to have the truck in any way you wanted it. I had a 1972 Cheyenne that was non air, three speed, 350, ps, pb- A friend had a super that only had power steering and 350, another friend has custom deluxe with air, tilt, ps, pb, posi, am/fm,overloads and factory build sheet. Another aquaintence had 396, hub caps and automatic. rest of the truck was plain jane. It all depends on what one wanted to spend and what purpose the truck was to serve. One of my good friends is a big f--d man and recently discovered that late '70s ford customs could actually be optioned with trim as were the XLT trucks, it was simply based on what boxes you checked when you ordered the truck- he has custom with factory XLT wide chrome and trim package, should not be able to do this but build sheet shows what po did at dealership. I would love to see a true short step with Cheyenne or Super option, literature indicates it was possible but I have never seen one personally, has anyone else? Sorry for the long reply
