New Member Decoding help on New Truck

[Jacksonville1972]

Hello All,
I just purchased a 1972 LB. Was looking for some help on decoding. Not sure what the interior should look like. I know it was Saddle but some has replaced it with black with b/w hounds tooth inserts, and painted the door panels and dash pad black. It also has black carpet. The truck has no exterior molding, what did it look like? I am also confused by the rear suspension it has leaf springs and what looks like coilovers.

Sounds like a well optioned truck. It had the moulding from the factory on the top and bottom according to the options you listed. Do you have any pics to post up? That would help a lot. Thanks

I can post some pictures here in a little bit, but all the molding is gone off the truck.

Ok cool everyone here loves pics! Ill find a pic and show you what the mouldings looked like. Also the leaf springs were and option since the coil springs were standard. Here is a pic of mine with the lower and upper mouldings

Here are some pictures

That is a nice looking truck! The PO must have taken the old mouldings off for a cleaner look. Don't see much of these trucks with leaf springs either

So this truck had top and bottom wood grain molding? What in the interior if anything would have had the wood grain? Also what would the tailgate have had on it. I didn't take a picture of it but it has raised large white letters and no trim.

If it is a true cheyenne it would have woodgrain door panels,headliner, cargo lamp switch and a few other options. I believe the tailgate would have woodgrain on it too. It wouldn't have woodgrain on the top moulding just black and silver.

Here is a pic of my SPID. Looks like a lot of the same trim options you have. I can tell you that my truck is a third owner, me being the third. It has a headliner, leaf springs, black side molding with wood grain door panels. You have a very nice optioned truck there. I would like to know what the original seat covering is suppose to look like for a Cheyenne package.

Here is what a Cheyenne with the optional belt molding looks like. The Cheyenne interior had "wood" trim only on the door panels.

Thank you Tim,

Your post answers two of my questions. I need to find seat covering like the one in the photo you posted.

Can anyone tell me of some places to get the Cheyenne seat covers and door panels? Also I am certain at this point I have the incorrect tailgate on my truck. Can anyone verify that. All the pictures I see for a 72 Cheyenne have the trim with lettering not the stamped tailgate. Here is a picture of what I have currently.

All the original "CHEVROLET" tailgates are stamped just the same as yours. The trim will cover the stamped portion of the tailgate. I think LMC has reproductions of the tail gate trim or band as I have heard it referred to. The tail gate on your truck may have been changed in the past but it is still correct.
