That actually makes sense.... the bars on top of the bed sides appear to be the sides off of a suburban roof rack...

Luvleggs, the truck was just north of Raliegh in Louisburg. It was off of 561 heading out of town. There seemed to be quite a few of those trucks around there.

There are quite a few running around - most asking about 8k because they run...

It's not too often do you see them on the higways though - mostly the back roads and in town. I think it has to do with utility use vs. commuting speeds! I took mine up on Rt 40 recently and wound the 6 up to 70ish - that lasted about 3 exits and I got off again

It was off of 561, not really on a main road. I saw several of them there, but they were all long beds. Don't know about price was really bus while there.

67 chevyredneck, the rails look to be a set of Gm Accessory rails. Those were really popular back in the day- Dad called them casket rails. The wood grained ones often seen on these trucks- especially fixxed up in the late 80's were for the 73- up trucks in the GM access. book. I have a 71 sales brochure that illustrates the same rails as pictured as a dealer option. Fender shirts are dorky on trucks Ryan

but I know where a Green truck is that needs a set... hint is near George's Deli. Hahahahaha- call me about guy and the LWB bed.

Those skirts are factory.Most guys (99.9999%) removed them when Hi-Jackers & L60s took over and they clashed with the sidepipes.It was known as the fuddy duddy appearance package which included multi-colored pedestal-type cab lights and 12 lights in the grille,a full width mudflap,curb feelers,suicide knob,and an afgan seat cover.

It was in fact an option! actually the first one usually listed on the SPID

That is a very impressive list of options, but is that just for the rear wheels. The front and rear wheel skirt options appearing together would be like the holy grail of options.
