292 badge / trim option trivia

[69_hafton]

The more I learn about these trucks, the more I'm amazed at the different trivial options or differences that were available from the factory.

You don't find the 292 badge in any catalogs, and I haven't seen them on any other trucks, but I know I haven't seen very many trucks, relative to how many are left out there. Maybe people upgrade the badge before that engines. A 396 badge increase the value / potential of my truck.

I'm still waiting to see a '69 longbed like my dad had from new for almost 20 years before the rust gremlins got the best of it. It was light metalic green, with 250 3 sp. on the column with upper trim on the sides, but no lower. Of course I can't look inside the glove box now to see what trim option was indicated.
