Shortie; I see you have U18 KILO SPEEDOMETER on the SPID. Did you find a real kilo speedo or have you made one by yourself? Would you mind post a pic of it? Just curious.
I have been thinking of doing a custom SPID for my truck as well with the U18 option and some other not original options.
Thanks

That is great choice for a seat cover with your interior colors. Did you spray the door panels or were they originally black. Rally wheels were never an option on the 67-72 trucks, they were first available on the 73/87 trucks but I'm not sure exactly what year they became available.

Thank, I'm very fortunate. The door panels are after-market black plastic.

Here's my driver. Surprised to see the glove box door is dark blue when the rest of the interior is medium. But I'm no expert on paint schemes. At least some of the interior was "repainted" medium blue, and rather poorly.

558 is a great paint scheme, though they repainted this truck medium blue and white between the belts.

The license plate was a fluke. Odds it would read "- 400" when they print these with letters and numbers? She didn't want to be just a parts truck

Thanks Jeff, it's perfect.

Here's one for my newly acquired 69

[Overdriven]

My 67 lwb. I find the combo interesting in that it's Panoramic cab, has side trim but the grill and front bumper are white and the wing windows are black. Most Panoramic cabs or those with side trim seem to have chrome grill, front bumper and wing windows.

I like trying to put myself in the original owners shoes picking out the options to figure out what they were thinking.
.
"Well she's gonna work so give me the HD Spring, HD clutch, step bumper and RV Jr mirrors. Foam seat and Delux Air Heat sounds comfy."

You'd think this where the guy needing a basic workhorse would've stopped checking boxes. But the boxes for side trim and panoramic cab got checked too. I wonder if he wanted a little extra style, had a little extra to spend or just got talked into checking those boxes by the salesman and/or wife?!?!

My spid is very un eventful....dark green paint -heavy duty clutch. Thats it!

[RSTLESS]

What does the SE in the top right hand corner on the SPID mean? I see on some trucks there is a number starting with FTO and on some it is blank.

I looked at this truck a trader had for sale in San Angelo, TX the other day.

69 Custom Camper

forgot the picture

[kehstr]

I've noticed that some trucks say 4 season air conditioning and others say all weather air conditioning, what is the difference between the 2?

Soon to be mine, hopefully...

This truck was for sale near a California military base. It was factory stamped COPO with some letters and numbers at the bottom of the VIN plate.

[Cali72K20]

That is an ex-military vehicle, it has the GSA label on it. Do you know what base?
Looks like strata blue paint so I would guess an Air Force Base. Maybe a Northern Cali truck with the antifreeze @ 34 degrees or that is just a Mil-Spec option. Travis AFB or Beale AFB maybe? Hard to say, they have closed a lot of AFBs in California since that truck was built.

[Cali72K20]

Looks like it came with the service/parts manuals too, never seen that option ever.

It shows a US Mail Decal as well, could it have been a postal truck?

[ghalperin]

What about this one?

That is possible, but the Post Office manages their own fleet, they purchase their own vehicles not through GSA, fleets were managed different back then.

I believe you are right, my bad. It looks like an old AF truck, seen old pictures from Travis with the chase cars (El Camino's) and support trucks, I need to see if I can find them
