Nostalgia - Pics in Time.

That could explain the Special on my truck.

There are numerous places where the original paint shows and they are protected from sun or heat, so they seem unchanged. The color looks like a match for 521 White, but it could be just slightly different. It seems crazy to create another color so close to a standard GM color, especially on a government vehicle.

White wheels make more sense to make it Special.

When I got it, the wheels had been replaced with '67 truck (15x7) black wheels and '67 white dog dish hubcaps, so I don't exactly what how it was originally built. The SPID sheet makes no mention of non-standard wheels or tires so I think it did not have 3-pc wheels or tube-type tires like these Panels.

My '66 was originally used in Stockton, California- only 40 miles from Meadowview.

Wow, I've been looking at all these pics and now I hear Archie and Edith singing "Those were the Days" in my head.
