Here is a day night mirror I got out of a 64 BBW. I know it is original to the truck, I still have the cab. For sale, by the way. This is the only one I have seen. I look closely at these trucks all the time, and look at what equipment they have. Most are plain Jane, and beat up. Up here, I have only seen one factory A/C, and it was a suburban from Texas that was brought up here. I have only seen 2 automatic trucks with the powerglide and 2 speed column. I bought the one, it was rough, and got the following parts out of it. Steering column, shifter linkages, kickdown linkage that bolts to the back of the trans, driveshaft correct length and yoke, the tranny, correct crossmember, rad with the cooling lines for the automatic. I pretty much stripped it clean. Most of these trucks had no options at all, even dual sunvisors and armrests were an option. Most were bought for work, not to take to town on Saturday night.

I missed out on a factory stepside tire tire lock a while ago. Guy at the junkyard squashed it before I could get it. Wanted it for my 57, but it was on a 63......

I mentioned this in another thread but this is a system I found in a truck. I now have the system in my garage!!

From what I've seen most of the options on that list are rarer than the Panel-trucks they were optional for. lol

Looks like PJ had an optional passenger seat.. I wonder if he came with one before one of the p/o's messed with it..

Anyone ever seen one of these grab handles?

Shoot....truk,
I just sat here and squinted my face up fer about an hour readin' every word of your literature..
Thank you fer that.
I need to assemble all my goodies that I've been hoarding and collecting for all these years and post em up so I can share them with you other freaks....I sure will only use a certain amount of this stuff.
I sure have some fine stuff that it turns out is something you all don't see every day...like Unity stuff, remote power brake boosters, radio delete and heater delete plates from all generations, all kinds of heater and dash stuff from who knows what.....but nice........ and a lot more crap than I can recall ....etc....and so on and .....whatever.
I used to be a lot like " Little Johnny "....with a screw driver and a crescent wrench.....from the time I was six or seven I was crawlin under fences into old wreckin yards.....out into remote Bone yards....rowin out to deralict ships that were moth-balled...(I'll deny all of it) and climbing up "Wirley Cranes" down at the shipyards....and truely risking my unsubstancial , young life.....just to come back with a brass gauge or a control handle.....or a horn button.....or......

I always hung out on the right side of ethics.....maybe not so much the law as written I must confess....But as long as Little Johnny was convinced inside his soft, honest little heart....that he wasn't robbing stuff out of a viable runner or even a complete candidate fer resto......as long as he could see signs of a previous act of plunder.....then I might remove a relic for the sake of preservation..
