Dug thru the parts stash today and found 3 sets of 350 valve covers. All need a good cleaning and or re-paint. Do have a fair amount of crud and flaking paint, minor dings easily worked out. Can not say that they are definitely 72 truck. Thinking car and truck are all the same but may not be? Not sure on that. No pics of underside of last blue painted set since can only post 5 pics per post. It is good, cleaner than than the others. LMK if have an interest in any of them. Your choice of the three sets, $40 each plus shipping.

If it matters to you.

72 drivers side cover has 2 wire tabs on the intake side for the temp wire, rear push in oil fill and front PCV
Passenger cover has no wire tabs, front oil fill and rear breather.
Earlier trucks usually had no oil filler hole in passenger cover, seems all 72's have oil fill there.
