Yup, they sold millions of them that way.

Can't post a pic right now but mine is pretty low on options.I think the color trim color and HD brakes and Hd Springs.More optioned for work than anything.

bumpers were optional up into the 90's on pickups. (remember all the S-10 trucks with no rear bumpers?) People are SUPPOSED to be protected and not get ticketed, but seems some areas don't practice this. Since the bumpers were not federally mandated, then by federal law they still don't need them.

As for the comments about paint and int color not being optional, actually, there was a base color, and any other color was considered a no cost option. The silverish fawn color was the base color.

What was the base color paint and interior color on the 1972 trucks?

I bought a new 65 and also a new 73 chevy swb truck and my reasons were mainly because it hauled all I needed it to haul and it parked easier in town than a long box truck. At the time I thought them they were a sharper truck too ,,but that was before the long boxes were lowered down and now I like them too.

When I bought my 65 and took it to work ,I got more replys of why I didnt buy a truck ,meaning it was to pretty and to short to do any work.. LOL But , by the time I sold it everyone wanted it .. that was I believe in 1971...

In Maryland,trucks were exempt from inspection until later in the '70s. Vans were big back then and people would take the seats out of passenger vans,take a picture to the DMV and get tags without an inspection because it was considered a cargo van,which was a truck back then.There were no MPV (predecessor to SUV) tags.That all came once inspections were required.
BTW,spare tires were options.
