My first 1972 looking for answers

[crimson red]

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

Welcome and congrats on the truck purchase. The steering wheels were all the plastic type yours would be the wider type with two connecting points. Post up some pics and we can tell you better what you have plus we just like them

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.
