so, it seems that this would be the case:

A Cheyenne Super would have both upper and lower moldings and NO callout for them on the SPIDs (because they are part of the Super pkg)

A Cheyenne with upper molding should have the "belt" trim called out on the SPID (because only the lower molding was standard with the Cheyenne pkg)

A Custom OR Custom Deluxe with ANY molding should have the molding called out on the SPID - Lower, upper, or both (i.e. like Chipflyers)

Thanks for all the pics that folks posted!

So, I notice that LMC sells "BLACK" lower moldings in addition to woodgrain. Because I Had always misread my 72 sales brochure and thought the black paint on belt trim was referring to the LOWER molding - when in fact it's referring to the Upper ("belt") molding, now I'm curious about this:
Could one get/order/was there such a thing as BLACK (vice woodgrain) LOWER body moldings in 72? (or 71 for that matter). I'm starting to think only woodgrain was available from factory and that the black ones i've seen were aftermarket option only?!?!?!?

Thanks for the great info. Cool thread. Who asked such a great question in the first place???
