Option tag location

Where would I find the option codes on a '61? I'm looking at an apache 30, but I couldn't find anyplace that would tell me what it originally came with.

1966 was the first year for the option list decal that was affixed to the back side of the glovebox door.

All trucks from the 40s - 70s (and probably other years) had the metal tag that is being referred to. It is a model identification tag showing model # and GVW #s. The option codes that bpmcgee is talking about identified optional equipment that was added to the truck from the factory. It was for service referrence. 66 was the first year these were used. Here is a picture of one in a 72 model:
