Custom deluxe or lower got standard pedal
Because they had rubber floor mats

Additionally there was only a deluxe knob for all cigarette lighters
Because the chrome center was a push button

Those are only my thoughts and observations
Not fact
Bingo. That's to my understanding anyway. Z62, Z84 and YE9 =deluxe knobs, speaking for 71-72 anyway.

Learn something new everyday, that's real interesting about rubber floor mats gets plain foot pedals. Since I got carpet now, does that mean I need chrome trim?.............NEVER!

Post 12 may have something to say about that theory, perhaps the brake pad trim was added later.
