Re: 3/4 husky 350

Ok so the interior was NOT black. There is a masking line on the SPID, I kind of hoped it was original. Now that Deluxe emblem is really there, on both sides? I cannot see it in the first picture and normally I can pull up about anything. Must be the shadow if it is on the left side. Is anyone going to post more pictures of this truck? Would really like to see what is special about the paint.
As far as dealer claims... like a recruiter they would say about anything to close a deal. Ever notice how many dealers have "Special Editon" vehicles that are usually nothing more than a badge set, maybe a stripe and a healthy addendum to the sticker along with paint sealant?

Re: 3/4 husky 350

Don't think they are coming. The truck appears to be more gold than ochre and the "Deluxe" emblem is present. As the interior was this gold color and has been repainted the special paint is probably an earlier gold/white scheme. If I remember correctly GM would go back 7 MY in colors for a cheap and easy special paint request. If anyone is interested it is currently on CL.

If someone else could post the pictures it would be a good idea from an archive standpoint. My dialup connection is giving me absolute fits tonight.

The trick is turning it into dog food and a 67-72 truck or better yet a Longhorn like Taylor's :-) How is he/it doing anyway?
At one point I was working on a SPID breakdown to pictures and drawings book. At the time it seemed most people were not that interested in what their truck was but only what they were going to hack it into.
