Ever wonder…… PICS
…… what one of these trucks would look like if it never spent one night out of the garage in the last 37 years?
Ironically, it started to rain as I took the pics, which was probably one of the few times it has been rained on.

Re: Ever wonder…… PICS
Pop the hood on that rascal and show us the engine compartment! That will be terrific for future reference.
What are your plans for it. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention those holes are probably for a CB mic clip. |

Re: Ever wonder…… PICS
Nice truck!
Are the paint stripes on the upper body original? Jim

Re: Ever wonder…… PICS
looks real close to holes drilled for a CB radio mic holder.

Re: Ever wonder…… PICS
Looks like the holes that were left when the CB mike clip was removed.

Re: Ever wonder…… PICS
Always good to see a time capsule!
I myself would like to spend a day just looking it over, since as time goes by true originality of these trucks gets lost. (Would be a great example for repro people to study as well, since as time goes by what they make gets watered down IMO) I agree about the holes in the dash, I noticed them as well and deduced that they were simply a mic clip mount back when CB's were poplular. Totally period for this truck, so I didn't think twice about it.

Re: Ever wonder…… PICS
So, that's 3 votes for the CB mike clip.
The paint stripe code should be D89.

Re: Ever wonder…… PICS
I notice the gas cap is painted to match. Is that original? Or have I just never noticed that before?

Re: Ever wonder…… PICS
The paint stripe is original and is listed on the SPID. The holes were for the CB, That I took off because the PO wanted the CB back for some odd reason. The gas cap is original and I guess almost all the original ones have been replaced over the years. I wonder if all gas caps were body color or if the Cheyenne's and super's had chrome one's?

Re: Ever wonder…… PICS
It has the owners manual, manual the emission control pamphlet and the protect-o-plate. It would have the original title, but the lady I got it from put the truck in her name a couple years ago when here husband died.

CST and cheyenne (only those models if memory serves) trim equiped trucks got a bright fuel filler cap, the rest were body color.
