Was this a graphics option?

What are your thoughts on this paint scheme? Is this similar to a graphics option offered by GM in the early '70s?

Not similar to what GM offered, but a person graphics job from back in the day. I like the truck just like that. The chrome wagon wheels fit right in with it. I believe it is a later job, probably '90s or maybe more recent, due to the rear tank and filler door mods.

Did the original graphics trucks come with body side mouldings?

I don't know if its original or not... but I like it. I'd drive the wheels off that truck just like it is!

Not original, but it's a period-correct look, in my opinion.

The original graphics (Mod Bods) were an add-on sold through the parts dept, not a factory item. So they could be put on any truck. Some dealers put them on before selling as well
