A custom, too! What other options are on it?

Need to check the vin#..but didn't think it was a custom. Dad said she was a basic. You can almost make out the 3 holes where the small mirror was. Dad had the dealer put on large mirrors since he was loading a camper. Believe she is a basic.

There was a bright package, comfort package, custom, plus many other factory and dealer available accessories. More pictures would be able to determine what was optioned. Paint code would be nice, looks like Turquoise Poly & Cameo White.

you have a nice looking original truck that has history with your family from day one.you are right the tailgate chains were galvanized (zinc) plated from the factory and the fleetside trucks had grey covers on the chains,stepsides had black chain covers.looks like a easy restoration with that nice of a body.

Will come back with more when I go thru the original paperwork and get her home. Look forward to the expertise you guys offer. Thanks.

Collins--you're absolutely spot on. Spent 20yrs in the military (flying fighters). Parents are in their late 70s/early 80s. To see the look on my Dad's face when we loaded her up today and he saw his grandson sitting where I did 40 some years ago was priceless. Funny how a truck can mean so much to a family--but it does. Look forward to leaning on the years of experience resident on this board. The internet is an incredibly powerful medium. Think I've monopolized the Pics thread enough for tonight.

Certainly. The clasp and chains were put in a box in '66 and pulled out yesterday. They are not painted. Look to be plated--almost like a galvanized finish--except for the hooks which look almost chrome.
Appreciate the pristine comment. But, will require lots of work. Goal is make it look like it did rolling off the dealer's lot. Although the 13yr old asked if we could paint if black with flames--ha/ha. Lots of memories learning to drive this as my first vehicle, and giving her back to dad while in college--the 75 TR-6 took her place for awhile. One more pic.

Love the truck and the color.:metal:

No clue, he says they were on the truck when he bought it back in the early 70's, I thought he had bought it new but he says he actually bought it about 5 or 6 years old.
