That really threw me a curve ball thinking someone had done a cab swap or something.

Yup, that's how all the 60-66 trucks were. Makes it real easy to tell if a "patina" truck has original paint or not. I think I still have some original paint on my cab, passenger door, and passenger fender, but that's about it
