A few more things were wrong with that truck...
Those three moulding groups were never offered from the factory, together on the same truck. So something is a miss...
It suggests to me that it's got more miles than stated, or at the very least it's been $%!@# with.
I would look it over with a "fine tooth comb"...

Wish I had pictures of some of the trucks in my town or even a couple in the local junkyard. Thought I had one of the one I got the captain chairs out of for our 89 F250 but don't see it.

Those mirrors make it an 82.
The truck used to be owned by a member here. Guy was a plumber, and did some trading around to get it for next to nothing. Unfortunately last I heard, he wasn't able to keep it and had to sell it.

I agree, or a dealer mirror upgrade.
My favorite color scheme besides Spruce, and of course what I have, seen earlier in this thread, umpteen pages back. 
If I was to order that truck new, I would have gotten the Black and Silver almost exactly like that, except inverted. Silver as main color, and black as the accent. Black hood etc...

True. I remember the truck well because it was an incredibly early 82 that has the 1980-1981 threaded T-Case shift ball, and the 1980-1981 Transfer Case shifter.
Back when the other member had it, those factory bed rails ran the full length of the bed.
