Been a while but this what I remember about the roll bar deal...

'69-'72 No factory roll bar. 70 was first yr for 2wd.
Aftermarket dealer installed. Most likely Hickey.

'73-'74 was an option. GM parts book lists as available for '73-75 but can't find any info in sales lit about roll bars in '73-'74. Again pretty sure it was Vic Hickey suppling them.

'75 is yr it became standard but only if you ordered a hardtop. 2wd or 4wd.
No hardtop (they were optional) no roll bar. Didn't matter if plain or Cheyenne model.
There was no RPO code for roll bar.
