No truck now,but yours resembles the '72 BBC SWB Highlander I had that was solid Ochre. Mine only had the upper trim.

my favorite 72 super swb 402 ever: Sameyrasmea's... Hands down my favorite. But, I'll let him tell you the details.

Here's the link he originally posted - http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=325467

EDIT: one note I hadn't mentioned in our previous conversations, and you may be aware - the funky a/c bracketry is because this was original a Fremont truck/subsequent registered in CA truck, and had a smog pump mounted in the empty spot there in front of the passenger side valve cover. hard to find part - or you can yank off the oddball smog pump bracketry and replace it with standard non-CA emissions bracketry for the a/c.

Did Chevrolet offer the small block 400 as an option? I know they were produced from 1970-1980. I have seen then in late 70's trucks.

It was my understanding that California Big block trucks did not have a smog pump. My 72 GMC is a A/C truck with no evidence of it ever having a smog pump. My truck is also a Fremont truck. Expert Opinions appreciated.
