Don't forget, by the book, the cover was only included on CSTs with the optional hard top. You are seeing the cover there because these early 72 SPIDs from Flint included almost all the build options and not just the specifics not otherwise part of a package. Of note the standard capacity springs and even the VIN plate are called out.
A build date is hard to nail but I can tell you the last 71 light duty trucks there ~3400 were built in July of 71 off both 6xxxxx and the 8xxxxx assembly lines.
Seeing as this is a very low sequence number @ 2567 I'd say it is a late August 71 build. Be interesting to see the blue certification sticker's date or the Protect-O-Plate. Plus there is always the engine assembly code too.
