Neat! I've also got the dealer emblem and I plan on putting it back on the truck. I think it was on the driver's side extension. City Motors was on the main drag (Central Ave) in Great Falls and I used to deliver papers there as a young kid.

That would be their new store out on 10th Avenue South. The original one was at 8th and Central.

I know that both of the 65's I've had now were made in the Freemont plant. I have no idea where they were originally purchased from. Maybe I should pull Tanya's seat out one day and see if there is a build sheet in there.....

Interesting thread! I love it that I had found out when I purchased mine back in 1998, by researching the vin #, mine was built in Oakland, CA and according to the seller, it was first sold to a fellow in Redlands, CA. I believe I'm the fourth owner. So mine's always been a local truck here in CA. And it's going to remain this way, at least 'til I am good and dead! Haha!
