72 C30 9 ft stepside

[tschev]

Hello all,
I recently acquired a 1972 C30 stepside with 9 ft bed. I must say it's a unique looking vehicle, and I couldn't say no when my buddy asked if I wanted to buy it! I know the frenched tail lights are not stock. Anyone know if the rounded piece of metal covering the top of the spare is stock or custom? My buddy says it's one of 975 ever produced, but that seems a little low. Anyone have any idea? I recall seeing the number somewhere but can't find it now. I am wondering what folks think about the truck, so your honest opinions are appreciated.

This is my first post, but feel free to give me your honest opinion anyway.

Thanks!
