am curious about the bed - truck LOOKS to be resto'ed to me, but bed looks to retain original wood (maybe) - and wondering if it was originally white??? Surely not... I liek it though, and I like that the owner left it in, original or not. Having said that, I'm a 60-66 guy, but have owned a 72 in the past. Probably warrants a different thread, but, anyone know when metal beds became an option for 67-72s? And I assume wood beds were available thru 72? Or just thru 71?
Also - color originality - for 60-66, the bed was black wood. Looks good, but I've seen what looks to be "original" body color painted 67-72 era, just wondering what the norm was.
Thanks guys!
