Do you know the reason the top is listed twice.

Thanks
The build sequence number on the VIN is low (just over one thousand) if I’m reading it correctly. Not sure how many units that line was producing daily but I imagine your Flint Blazer was assembled in one of the early weeks of 72 model year production. As such, I suspect it was assembled before Flint began installing single wall tops and it probably has a double wall top. Correct?

Double wall K5s and some early single wall examples didn’t have the speaker where pickups do (later single walls did). These trucks had a speaker bolted to the undersurface of the dash. Here’s an example pic.

It’s a really interesting SPID that makes me wonder if it was a fleet government order as the GVW is called out. No idea why the top has two rpo’s listed. Other items of note include the spare tire cover (included w CST so why list?), four tire rpo’s, and lack of paint description.
