thanks ypanic
That thing looks great. I like all the little add ons. I think what they are refering to on the rivits is that the original ones were usually a star shape, not perfectly round rivits. Usually means the plate was removed for painting but could also indicate it was titled from another vehicle after a rebuild and the numbers might not match the frame, engine, etc.

Good luck with the sale. I go through Blooming Prairie a lot on my way to Austin. There was a body shop in that town that was run by the guy at the liquor store I think. He had worked on a lot of 67-72 trucks and had a very nice one for sale there a couple years ago. Sometimes I see a yellow truck in a driveway just north of town there. Yours?
