The rocker arm covers have 5 fasteners. 1 on the top edge, 1 in front, 1 in the rear, and two on the bottom.

The transmission is a 4 speed, although it rarely ever gets beyond second gear on the aircraft parking ramp. Reverse is toward the dash board (Warner T-18).

The frame channel is 3 inches deep and a nominal 9 inches high. The height varies some along the length.

The wheel lug pattern is ~ eight and 3/4 inches diameter and there are 6 studs.

This truck could easily be a 71. We only have it as a 69 as the opinion of the previous but not the original owner. The cargo package (aircraft fuel rig and tanks) is clearly identified as built in 1971 in West Memphis. I always thought that 2 years was a little long for a truck to sit around with nothing mounted on it.

Thanks for the help!
