Custom cab ????

When I got my 65' CC from the original owner yrs ago, it had the stainless dash bezel trim plate and door handle guards. I was not fond of the handle guards since it has 'custom cab' on it - took it off. The door already has custom cab emblem, so the two together looked rather ODD. I think the original owner added the handle guards, ???, don't know. The dash bezel, I believe was a factory option even in 65'. Again I'm not sure if factory option or added by original owner. I just know these items were on the truck when I got it at only a couple yrs old.

Be aware that the door handle push buttons are longer if door handle guards are present.
If you buy a set of these guards and they don't come with the longer push buttons, you're SOL

The handles are the same: 1961/66 F100/1100; 1963/69 N/NT/T500/1000; 1967/69 F800/1000.
The push buttons are 3 1/4" long with door handle guards, 3" long without them.
bobdrake.com repro's the guards @ $150.00 pair, includes the gaskets and longer pushbuttons.

The lower dash switch bezel trim plate mentioned prior will only fit 61-64 light duty trucks...the 65-66 have a little curvature in this area to accomodate the revised column angle on the F100 and F250 2WD trucks in 65 and 66 as well as the 66 F100 4WD.
I wholeheartedly agree the handle guards look odd when installed on a truck with the CC door script already...kinda dorky if ya ask me...they should have left the CC name off of the guards...
