The Custom Camper option was the nameplate-only but the option demanded HD springs that could be ordered on any truck. The pinstripe option would have no effect on the side trim, other than a CST which got the upper trim as an included option. All Custom trim trucks got black accent lower trim and rear end trim including the trim across the bottom of the tailgate.

That was available in 71/72

As we've seen in so many cases, any interior/exterior color combination was possible. And there are many cases that show exceptions to what is stated in the dealer order books. For instance, my '71 book states that only a painted front bumper was available on K-models and that is not at all the case

Dark and medium gold poly '70. A handsome color combination
