Question My first 1972 looking for answers

Just buoght my first 72 Chevy super cheyenne 2wd auto. SB / Tach / tilt / AC / truck and trying to find out what is and not correct pieces on this truck?
It has a 3 spoke steering wheel ( maybe from a corvette style alum. spoke with plastic wood grain looking wheel ). Was that an option in 72 or should there be the Black 2 spoke I've seen on other trucks . The truck does have Houndstooth int.
What is the correct width of the rims for this truck ?
Should there be the tower style hose clamps .
For the heater hose should it be the 3 rib style , or the GM stamped hose.
And for the radiator cap what pound rating should it be( I've seen 13 and 16 )

Thank you Crimson red

heres a good site for decoding the rpo spid found on the inside of your glove box door. http://www.gmheritagecenter.com/gm-h...tion-kits.html Chevrolet Trucks (All Models Not Listed Below) click on the " Show " then on the year of truck and ok button and your there.

There is only one style steering wheel in 1972.
Houndstooth is correct for Cheyenne super unless it has buckets.
No tsure on the rims.
Tower clamps are correct in most locations.
The heater hose should be ribbed.
The radiator cap should be 15.
