IIRC, only 67 had the white roof and body color windshield pillars. 68 was like all the other years, with white pillars. the badge on the upper door could also be a CST badge, the two emblems went in the same location and we'd have to get a closeup to check.
This truck has been posted on here before, If you look at it from the front (which you will be able to do as soon as the auction is up i'm sure), then you can see that the steps flare out and are different than regular 9ft steps, so it kinda looks factory. of course, it could be aftermarket. but if it was a factory one-off, I would still believe it, as automakers did some crazy stuff back in the day.
Also, one oddity I would like to see is a CST/30. CST/10's are fairly common, CST/20's are pretty rare, but i have never seen a CST/30.
