Hard to improve on this one, great factory color ( Tampico Turquiose Poly). Only 3 items I would have done differently, bed wood, mirror head and tires would be done in black. Not mine. https://vmp.ebay.com/ebay/viewAllPho...?smid=48678524

Add the interior to the list . Dark gray , silver AND FAWN ? Then the black firewall .

I like it! Did anyone else notice the mismatched hubcap on one of the wheels? It's got a radio delete and cigarette lighter delete

Yeah it's a dealer sale. Little things could improve it a lot. Seat frame could have been painted, heater selectors repaired, master cylinder painted and so on.

This is a frame on paint job did you get a glimpse of all the dirt and grease under the paint on the oil pan. This is a seller the guy that buys this truck won’t notice the hubcaps

very nice I wouldn't mind having it,, As factorystock mentioned I do like a solid black (stock) bed-- I would at least turn the mirror head a 1/4 turn, I assume you can't get a repro floor mat anymore , so the carpet gets a pass,, but the aftermarket choke knob , and turn and gearshift lever would need to be changed to stock--I don't mind the white walls , but I agree a truck would most likely have black walls....

You can get a 64-66 repop, but since that also fits in the 60-63 cabs, I haven't seen a correct repop for 60-63. Sure does make me sad as my truck could use a new mat but I really don't want carpet. Maybe one day someone will repop it?
