roadside reflector kit
 

Just curious if this is original to these trucks or not I found it in the bottom of a big box of spare parts I got a while back with my 67. Its in amazing shape for its age was kinda like opening a time capsule. Almost got auctioned off on ebay. Any how let me know what you guys think. Also if it is original where was it mounted in the truck.

I was wondering the same thing. I have one that came from the longhorn I am restoring. It had a reflector kit just like this one and a gas can mounting bracket on the opposite side along with a flare holder mounted on ....I think the same side as the reflectors. I havn't decided if I was going to clean them all up and remount them so for now they are all just up on the shelf in the shop. This is the first time I had seen anyone else with one though.

I dont think it was a factory option but was put in at the dealer for states that required them for inspection.

Here in Illinois we stopped having to inspect trucks with a GVW less than 8000 Pounds close to 20 years ago. Almost every old truck I have bought has had a set like yours under the seat. the set that is still in my 72 uses flares instead of reflectors.

it was a dealer acessory, never a factory option.

That is still cool... even though it's not a factory option. :D

When you get right down to it, it's not a bad thing to have on board.

Dealer accessories can be harder to find and more valuable than factory options at times. When i worked at the dealership I tried to round up one of these roadside kits because of the rareity/neatness of something not many have anymore. A couple of weeks ago I bought a "camper carnival" first aid kit complete with bandages wipes etc. and the instruction manual- this is stuff if in good shape and complete will bring the jack to the right person. I gave the first aid kit to little bro since he has a 72 Custom Camper.
