The reason the carpet, dash pad, steering wheel, and column are black is due to having the tilt wheel option. All tilt columns were black with matching wheel. Had your truck come with the standard column it would have been Sandalwood (tan) color and so would all those other black parts.

Another some did/some didn't, like the Cheyenne Super glove box door, is the outer A/C vents could be either body color or black. to match dash pad, column, etc. As far as some Cheyenne Supers getting the black glovebox door, I have never seen one painted any color but body color or black. For example, I have never seen a Sandalwood one when truck had standard column with Parchment interior
Learn something new everyday.

I don't know if it's correct, but my 72 Super had the 558 paint code, which is a medium blue bottom and dark blue top. The interior is medium blue, but the glove box door is dark blue. I believe the glove box door is original and has the original SPID. I can also say someone repainted the interior medium blue, because of the sloppy work with runs. The column is black as you describe (tilt). The rest of the interior (e.g., outer A/C vents) is medium blue.
