Hmm. Grille, bumper, Cheyenne badge, and 5-lugs all look like a 71-72 model to me. The SPID looks right to me aside from the “396” which is not that far out there out there imho considering the shenanigans with engine marketing in those years. Z53 comes up as gauges on other 71’s with a quick search and I have seen the CST/Cheyenne mixed up on several SPIDs. Although maybe you are referring to it being listed along with a trim package that has it included, which I think is another thing that wasn’t always consistent... Also a fake SPID would normally be real clean and have Super trim and bucket seats, etc. My thoughts, but I certainly don’t know everything!
