Hi. Good to see your truck. You're the guy with the "mystery" extra coil spring, correct?

Anyway, nice looking truck. Couple of things I noticed.

1. Was truck repainted at some point? The usual 2 tone on 72's had the roof pillars and door glass channels painted white too. Your's looks like a 67/68 2 tone with only the cab roof and back painted white.

2. Real aux helpers, rear HD coils, and optional 3:73 with the auto tranny (the standard RPO was 3:08 with 1/2 ton v8/auto). Must have been ordered to haul loads by original buyer.

3. Most interesting of all to me is the Highlander Plaid seat but no RPO code for the highlander promo package? The highlander promo consisted of tilt, auto, special wheel covers, door edge guards, etc. Your truck has none of this listed or installed except auto and wheel covers. I wonder if the highlander plaid was an RPO on it's own and your's is not produced as part of the highlander promo. The highlander I had, had all the individual RPO's listed as well as one labeled "Special promo". Do you have any documentation on it?
