The whole wood grain vs. cheyenne vs. cheyenne super thing..

I understand that lower belt molding was an option -

Was it standard on Cheyenne and Cheyenne Super?

Was black vs woodgrain optional - or was it driven by the Cheyenne vs Cheyenne Super selection? (i.e. based on the 72 sales literature, I'd expect the Cheyenne to have WOODgrain belt molding and the Cheyenne Super to have the black belt molding (yes, I think this is odd because interiors of Supers included the woodgrain dash and glove box cover).

Which brings me to my next question - wood grain on the door panels...

Were these associated with Cheyenne vs. Cheyenne Super - or driven by the belt molding you got? My understanding was always that BOTH Cheyenne and Cheyenne Super got woodgrain door panels.

I've seen tons of supers with wood grain belt moldings (i.e. counter to the original sales literature) and almost none with the black belt molding.

Almost all Cheyennes I've seen have the woodgrain belt molding (lines up with the sales literature)

As for interior door panels - an old red/white cheyenne I had, many many years ago - had woodgrain door panels, woodgrain belt moldings, and the standard black instrument panel color as you'd expect on a Cheyenne (non-Super).

That was a long time ago and a very original truck (and not very old at the time...) and it seemed to fall in line with all I could read in the original sales literature.

So, throw me a bone here and splain it to me - wood grain belt moldings vs. black belt moldings vs. door panels vs. cheyenne vs cheyenne super.... simple right?

HERE's why I'm really asking - I'm looking at regular old cheyenne - and it's matching what I'd expect from the factory - wood grain lower belt moldings, woodgrain door inserts, and black instrument cluster with body color painted glove box door. Yet, when I look at it - the wood grain on the doors just looks "out of place" with the dark olive dash and black instrument cluster of a plain ol Cheyenne.

Thanks for the help!
