Custom deluxe/20
I saw this truck for sale right down the street from me. What is a custom deluxe package? Is that 400 a big block or small block? Does it look correct and original?

Re: Custom deluxe/20
We'd have to see under the hood, but it came with a BBC 400 if it came with any 400.

Re: Custom deluxe/20
Custom Deluxe is one step up from the base trim level of "Custom" (it's a nice trim level, came with cloth seats) - there are four trim levels total in 71/72: Custom, Custom Deluxe, Cheyenne, Cheyenne Super. 400 badges mean it was a 402 big block truck in this era (402 replaced the 396 sometime in 1970. The 400 small blocks came out in the square era). I think it's a very nice looking truck. Stop and get a look at the SPID in the glovebox - post a pic if you can (or send me the seller's phone number...

Re: Custom deluxe/20
It looks like a repaint at one time. Very solid California truck. Some pin holes in the bed floor and a hole in the right door jamb area. No more big block.

Not happy about the engine, but a rust free truck is golden
