Welcome to CK5. I've given you a few periods as a welcome gift. From your post it looks like you might need them.

Pretty much everyone on here has a highly modified custom delux because we all suffer from cantleavieitthehellaloneitis.
 
I get that people do tons of mods but I am talking factory option like mine for example I beleave it has close to every option you could get on the trim level if not every one avalable but do not know.
 
soundsliketheonlyoptionsyouhaveareacandcruisecontroleverythingelseisprettymuchstandardchecktheRPOcodeslistedontheinsideofthegloveboxdoor
 
my options are as falows
350/350/203
a/c
cruse controle
all guages excet clock no tach
manual windows/ocks
ruber mat floor rear intearior tight in top
light uder dash near tcase shifter
I change the top to a top with sliding windows which also has the rear light instaled
tilt wheel and what I belive to be are trailering speacial are the only options it dose not have
I do not know if power windows/locks were avalable on customdeluxe and if I may have mised some options that I am not aware of.
 
Yes, those are options, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they are the top of the line options. Of course it has gauges, something covering the metal floors, and a way to get the windows down. Some of your options seem they they were the default when someone declined the upgraded 'option'.

As far as rare-ness. There are very few 'uncommon' options on these trucks considering how many were built. About the only rare option these days is 'rust-free'. Don't sweat it though, they're still special to us. And in the end, make it what you want it to be. Lord knows most of us have. Anyway, post pics of this warlock and welcome to CK5.
 
Thanks for the reply I forgot to say in previous post that I have the passenger and rear seat as well I know it probably dose not matter to much though.

for real...There's more periods in a menopause clinic than was used in the OP!

BUT I digress, as mentioned by others, there is not really a RARE type to these trucks...some may be a bit more desireable than others, but in the end there were plenty of them built.
Now if you have a rare 73 w/ factory D60 front end, you got something!

Oh and when using a phone to post, at least start each sentence with a new line instead of combining them all together without periods, as Greg72 mentioned!

They used Dana 44's up till at least 1980. I have yet to be able to find out if there was a rhyme or reason to which trucks go which axle in the late 70's.

I am not sure if it was answered but thats pretty much run of the mill.

I think the option. Most of us get excited about is the tach.

I always thought custom deluxe was the low end of the option line.

You are right from what I understand custom deluxe is the lowest. things that come with high level trims cost extra on the cheapie models. I think the only thing you can not get on the base model is the quad headlights and maybe some other exterior trim/molding. I have no idea if you could get power window and locks on base models or not. I am shore someone on here knows.
