Re: 1972 Extended cab?

As I understand it, GM lost the CUCV [civilian vehicles for military use] contract to Chrysler because the Air Force required 6-place crew cabs for the Titan Missle program. GM didn't have them at the time the RFP went out.
Any GM crew cabs or extended cabs prior to MY '73 were produced by small custom coach shops for niche buyers like railroads, oilfield exploration companies, municipalities, fire depts. etc.
