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!
I don't know when metal beds came to be an option but the 67-72 wood beds rolled off the assembly line painted to match the body.
