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
Tim - I've never seen a non-tilt Super with parchment custom cloth (houndstooth) interior with a sandalwood dash pad, column etc. I thought all parchment houndstooth got a black carpet, but now I'm curious. Do you or does anyone have a pic of an original non-tilt super with parchment custom cloth interior that has sandalwood wheel/column etc?

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.
Please please please tell me you're gonna restore it to that Custom Two Tone!? That is one of my absolute favorite combos. Arggh, looks GREAT! And that is a very nice SPID, I'd hang onto that one.

The interior in that top pic. is about the nicest I've seen. The CST badge on the door, was that factory on a 72?
Build Sheet and SPID RPOs should match - but you never know.

I believe the CST badge in 72 was only in a Z84 trim Blazer (i.e. Cheyenne level - as highlighted by the woodgrain doors) - (a Blazer was also the only way one could get plaid buckets). Blazer is also the exception to the 'Custom Deluxe for plaid' rule. On trucks, had to be a Custom Deluxe and plaid buckets weren't an option, had to be a bench.
