Nice truck. The nose-mounted spare was typical back then, usually as a result of having a camper in the bed. This one has a 5th-wheel hitch in the bed, so may have been used to pull a big trailer.
It is set up the way I should have set up my '72, with a manual tranny instead of the C6. But I went with 3.73 rear gears, and I'd be worried that this one with 3.54's wouldn't have the torque in 4th to handle big hills.
Also, I didn't know that seats like that were an option. Don't remember that in '72.
