The year is right and it looks like it, but I think you need the glove box options sheet to really tell. Maybe some experts will let us know differently?

Yes sir that appears to be one. It is really nice to still see this color combination on an original restoration. I am no expert but this is what I picked up on from the auction ad Some of the incorrect features are: Wheels- not sure what from Outside mirrors-incorrect year Bed rails- not sure what from? front nerf bars- incorrect year Front winshield visor-aftermarket A/c ball vent housings wrong color Radio not original cassete not available in 68 Overall a super nice restoration. To qualify as an original 50th it would have had the current paint scheme and interior colors originally. pant code 4551 and 625 for half ton model

Some trucks did come with the black A/C ball housings like this one has. I've found no way to tell which trucks, plants, or why..but some did.
 As for is it a 50th...the seats are definatly out of a 50th. No way around it. My money says yes. |

It's a little overdone IMO. Remove the visor, wrong mirrors, incorrect bumper guards, wheels & whitewall tires, bed rails and that would improve it 1000 percent.
$22,000 dollars???

Shave (the after market junk), drop and roll! I love those colors. Someone posted a 50th short fleet a while back that was lowered and cleaned up...sweeeeeeeeeeeet! I asked Andy, aka Longhornman, if they ever produced a 50th Longhorn 4x4! That would be the find of a lifetime if there was ever a COPO on that one. Just no way of knowing about that, however.
