What did a '69 K10 look like coming off the assembly line?

Looking to buy my dad something for his 69 K10 for Christmas. He wants it to be a restoration project and I'm not quite sure what he's missing. Can anyone hook me up with a picture(s) of or links to what a stock 69 K10 would've looked like coming off the assembly line?

Appreciate the help!

We need to know if it's a C/10,Custom/10,or CST/10 to give the most accurate info.

If you look past the rallye wheels and polished stainless or chrome mirrors,here's a good example. The mirrors would be painted body color:

To me it looks like 526 Medium Gold Poly,but the '69 color was 525 Saddle Poly. They are very close,either way. It most likely is Saddle Poly.

Take pics of your dads truck so these stock experts can tell u what is missing and what is wrong on it. Believe me, they know all and are willing to share the knowledge.
