Well John lets see. Spotlight original. Ordered, came in cab and dealer installed, even has fomoco logo on it although it is a Unity spotlight. Hubcaps, yea they are chrome but the truck came from the factory with the bottle cap caps, I still have them even though slightly dented. Want pictures?. Custom cab door handles on what is a factory ordered chrome delete and mono paint Custom cab, the chrome strip and 2 tone dash and white door panels are there. The motor is original to the truck and I won't say numbers matching because there is no such thing. If you really want to get technical the crank rods water pump heads valves tappets oil pan water pump are original to the truck. Yes the exhaust shows and yes the tips are chrome that is because it has headers on it which are not original. But if you read my post I said all entrants must be 90% original. If you would like to know how I know for absolute sure about how this truck came from the factory. It is because my father in law ordered this truck new in 1963 and my wife and I are second owners. There are very few 50 plus year old anything out there that are original from the factory. Yes restored to 100% factory original but not original with every part on it as it came from the factory. This truck made the show last year with torque thrust wheels on it and placed 3rd in truck class and took home the peoples choice award as well. So I think I will get in again this year

Original but modified engine is ok. It does not even have to be the original engine as long as it is what it came with. For instance a 57 Chevy can not have a 327 in it. There will be a 5 point deduction for my motor even though it is original due to the fact I have T bird valve covers a 4bbl carb and intake and headers. Next year if I get real desperate to win a trophy I can put the original carb intake and exhaust manifolds and the single exhaust system that exits behind the right rear tire. It has all been restored and sitting in the attic collecting dust. I am not to concerned about trophies anymore as I won 5 last year and this is my 1 and only restoration. I enjoy taking it to shows and talking to people about it, hearing their stories of the one they used to own and telling my stories.
