69 was the last year for the speed warning, the wheels weren't put on pickups untill 73 at least... I actually think it was later, and that tailgate was either reskinned, or it is an aftermarket one. It's more than just holes filled, it is flat where a stock one is not... plus, it would have chevrolet, or GMC embossed in it. No way that is original, onless it has a skin put over it.
As for the grande with no headliner... I don't even want to speculate.
I've seen plenty of 69 CST trucks with no headliner, nor cargo light... so I know it was added to the package after the begining of the model year... but by 70, all the chevy trucks with the CST package were getting them... no reason why the GMC wouldn't.
I have to question the badges... or the posability of a cab swap.
