Re: Spid breakdown needed
Was there something specifically you wanted to know?
1972 Cheyenne/10 LWB Fleetside Built in Flint,MI Deluxe Two-Tone of med bronze and white Black Cheyenne trim 350/TH350 Air Conditioned. RPO PU8 (an optional tire selection) was for five white stripe G78-15-B Highway BB tires . G78 is the tire width and section height (about a 215/75R15) 15 is the wheel size B is the load rating Highway means a highway tread vs an on /off road tread. BB means a bias-ply belted tire

Re: Spid breakdown needed
Which one?
In the VIN. The first "C" denotes Chevrolet. "T" would be a GMC. In the model number (and the second letter of the VIN), "C" is 4x2 chassis and "K" is 4x4 chassis.

Re: Spid breakdown needed
I see this SPID already has the dummy character "1" filling in front of the RPO code, but still has some additional function name info following the code.
Tim - was the RPO code always associated with 5 tires? During the squarebody era the codes were separated for front/rear/spare to allow for different tires front and rear. XFL - Front YFL - Rear ZFL- Spare (or no spare) Did '67-'72 ever have anything like that? K

Here is a clip for 72 CK10 pickups (tubeless) as an example. There were indeed code breakouts specifiying front, rear or spare. More typically on the 10 series they offered a pair and a spare. So say you wanted the on/off road tires on the rear you could order it with three on/off road or three highway with a code for the remaining two tires (5, 3/2 or 2/3 breakouts). If they were used, the suffix codes would have reflected the pair or triple. On 20-30 series a seperate RPO code callout was used for a spare or wheel like the squarebody (2/2/1 breakout). Unfortunately optional tires were not always reflected on the SPID.

Re: Spid breakdown needed
It's a Cheyenne, but maybe someone switched door panels. A '72 Custom would have plain door panels. Custom Deluxe, Cheyenne, & Cheyenne Super all had the same fancy door panel. It has stainless trim surrounding a scroll pattern. That only shows on the Custom Deluxe while the Cheyenne & Cheyenne Super have woodgrain panels that cover that up. That panel can be removed to expose the scroll. I took mine out to match the seat (Sierra = Cheyenne) and people comment on it being wrong for a Sierra
