Fully equipped and factory ordered with air conditioning equipment, power steering, power brakes, Olive Houndstooth bench custom seat interior and trim with matching color carpet and kick panel carpet and dashboard and door trim panels and boasting the original factory 'Sierra Grande' and 'Custom Camper' packages.
The truck was optioned with the heavy-duty rear springs and shocks, which raised the GVW from 6,400 to 7,500 pounds; with the 8.75-16.5 load range D tires, it earned the right to carry the 'Custom Camper' badge. You could order the springs, tires, or shocks a-la-carte and not have the badge. To get the badge, though, you had to have all the required equipment.
The top-dog in the Trim Packages for 1972 was the 'Sierra Grande' package which offered an extra look of richness with woodgrain inserts in the door panels, glove box and instrument cluster, and nylon houndstooth inserts in the seats with co-ordinated vinyl trim and carpeting, extra floor and top cowl insulation is included as well as Bright Metal interior and exterior trim. Air conditioning was a $400 option.
This is one very honest truck and must be seen and driven to be fully appreciated - the original Big Block 400 4 BBL V8 engine is extremely strong and responsive, the transmission shifts smoothly through the gears and the engine temperature always remains cool.
In summary, this is one very fine example of this increasingly collectible and desirable 1972 year of the legendary full size C20 3/4 ton pick up in rare turn-key ready, daily appreciating, daily driving and daily head-turning condition and an all time classic American truck with it's original 402 Big Block V8 engine and fully loaded with factory options and the top-of-the-line trim package!
