Wheels would have been black being mono colored truck.
Custom Chrome package gives you the bumpers and hubcaps but a white painted grille. Grille was also repainted and they eliminated the trademark painted black insert on the headlight rings.
Black paint behind the grille was omitted.
Built at the St. Louis Plant, 202343 production sequence number would be built in 1963 I would imagine. Not the highest number we've seen.
Drivers side mirror was changed.
Missing the warranty booklet in the original plastic envelope that goes in the glove box.
Wrong inline fuel filter for the year.
Single upper rad hose instead of a steel tube.
Correct push on type battery cables.
Not original tower clamps on rad hoses, replaced by gear clamps.
Not a patina truck nor an original well maintained paint. Kinda in limbo.

Seatbelts have wrong webbing, are they stamped Irving Airchute?
Drivers seat vinyl is gone or covered?
Hows the floor mat between the drivers and passenger seat?
Side marker lights were added by original owner.

I have a mirror that was in the glove box, not sure if it's original.

Fuel filter put on by original owner.

I believe it was painted by an autoshop class at a local community college, so....yeah.

Lower driver seat has been recovered. I think seatbelts were added by original owner. I don't see any significant markings.
