I still "order" my new trucks because I'm cheap and I like HD options, but of course I am limited to what options were available. Back in the day, was it possible to "special order" something that was not normally available?

In 1976 I had a friend that ordered a Nova, thing was practically a race car, big block (pretty sure a 454), four speed, low ratio rear, manual steering, no luxury options at all, had every HD or performance option that could be had, was a beast.
My 1968 Lemans had special ordered radial tires...350 HO, 3 speed manual Dearborn HD trans, PS PB, deluxe seat belts, Custom Wheel covers, ride and handling package, tinted windows, bucket seats, 336 posi, Meridian turquoise with Ivy Gold interior.
