My wife does all the pictures so they will be coming. I have two questions I am hoping to find some answers on. 1) The plate that has the paint code and whatever other information that comes on it. Where would that be located on a 72? The option list sticker is not there anymore. I have taken off many parts with no luck. I see in the driver's side a metal plate on the cab with weights for the front and back but no paint code. 2) Does anyone know the original distributor part number? I cannot find that anywhere. The tuck will have a 350 again and I am looking for that part number to start the search for that part. Thanks for your help.

The information that you are looking for was written on a sticker called a SPID
which was stuck on the inside of the glove box. Hopefully the sticker is still there.

Distributors from a lot of years will fit the the 350 including the popular HEI's from the 70's. Is there a reason that you are looking for a 72?
