The VIN reflects a 1972 but its listed as a 1971. It has 1969-71 doors and door panels and the rear view mirror is clearly mounted to the cab versus windshield. And he did say the SPID was not there. Good catch on the cargo light fish938, I missed that. I don't mind someone modifying a truck during restoration but the VIN and current registration have to match. I was simply asking about those things when the owner got very offended and didn't want to talk any more. As I said, my intention was not to offend him but I am interested in finding a true short bed big block truck. It does not matter to me if its 1971 or 1972.
