The option code was D36.
Also, there were no pre-drilled holes for a mirror. I believe the mounting bracket shown above was actually for a '67. |
That's interesting to know and looking at a 68 kit it shows the same thing. That would then explain why my truck has the later style mirror and no real evidence of a previous mirror and the hole look like being added after the fact. Odd though that you would thing a Custom with comfort and convivence would have it grouped in with the other stuff added to the interior.
Sure is a weird thing to think about today that even a standard inside review mirror was optional.
