I am now stripping and restoring the wood grain on the moldings. When I take the old stuff off it is like brand new under the old wood grain. So i'm thinking it came that way from the factory or a PO installed the moldings with the wood grain in some previous restoration. I do prefer originality in these trucks, but these extra options make it even nicer so I will not be taking them off.
If only these old trucks could talk.
Here are a few more pics.
Thanks

I wonder what's original and what's changed/added on your truck. To me that SPID doesn't look quite right,like an original. I could be wrong,but the font and even the order options are listed just looks off to me. I see the wheelbase isn't typed in...maybe not so unusual. When the truck was repainted they painted the area under the trim on the tailgate blue rather than white,which leads me to believe whoever did the truck just made it suit their taste.

Good question. Yes,the deluxe markers and fancy pedals were only on CST/Cheyenne/Cheyenne Super Chevys,so I believe GMCs were Super Custom through '71 and Sierra/Sierra Grande in '72. Or,is that different,too?
