Talked to the lady I bought it from, the truck has been in her family for years, She bought it from her Uncle who was the second owner. She remembers a tree falling on top of the cab, her Uncle did not have insurance on the truck at the time so it sat for a few years until he could find a used cab and doors. The cab and doors original colors are the same but the box and front end sheet metal are for sure not the same original color as the cab. Not sure what all this means down the road for me but I am going to leave it titled as a 69. I need to replace one door for sure since it has a crack at the hinge plate so I am going to buy doors for a 1969 truck. I will have to find different vent windows as well if I am correct. A lot of things happen to these trucks over the last 40 some years.
