Very very nice truck. I like it as a good example of "all the in between" you could get. There were the plain Jane utilitarian trucks to all the bells and whistles CSTs. Then there were those custom tailored for what would be important to an owner and what they had no need for. Some were customer ordered, others were a dealership's idea of what they perceived their market demanded, or to offer variation in sticker price to up sell those hesitant to go all out. Mid level trim and comfort, V8, chrome appearance items, and that's it. It also shows not all truck buyers were convinced an automatic, p/s, and p/b.
