I can't get the pics to load up but the truck is a big back window that is pretty strait, running driving truck. Is there anything that says its a big back window. I know it wasn't added but I never have owned any of these trucks older than 65. First unibody ever for me.

No there is nothing other than the custom cab designation. It had to be CC to get the big window and not all custom cabs have it.

For 400 clams and straight...if its relatively rust free...I would say thats a good deal...from what Ive seen of the integral bodied pickups, their primary rust area is the front of the bed/rear of the cab and the area on the sides where that panel is welded to the side of the truck.
Either way though a big back window truck is a big back window truck...a hard thing to walk away from...a few years ago I saw 2 at a local yard that came in together...super super clean, straight and rust free trucks...mostly complete too...unfortunate for me they had both already been sold Havent seen them since...

It has rust in the floors under the floor vents and in the door steps. The bed is clean as is the back cab area. Pics to come soon.
