Sorry!!!

I showed this one because I just saw it at the Fall Carlisle auction. Not year correct but I felt it was a good example related to the topic. If I bought that truck I wouldn't add any factory options.

I think trucks with odd or unique combinations are cooler than top of the line loaded trucks. I've seen original Customs with more options than many Cheyenne Supers. To me that is cooler. I had a Red Orange '71 SWB K/10 Custom with 292/4spd, fr & rr posi, tow hooks, bucket seats, AM/FM, tach, tilt, wood floor, HD radiator, and chrome bumper. No trim, no A/C, yet all those options. It was awesome from the factory and very unique
