Four wheel drives received the round speedometer. And depending if the truck was gussied up at the dealer it may have a round speed o with a CC package.

Yep, ND states the common but as Garbz makes reference to, back than, Ford would build it pretty much the way you wanted it. Oooooo, the good old days. Any color you wanted even if were a chev color, ;o(... O YES, the good old days.

how to post pics to thread?

I decoded the vin on my 66 and it looks like the cab is original or at least the fuel tank and door jams are correct color, looks like drivers door is not correct but they swapped the warranty tag thankfully, i really want to post pics of both my trucks but I'm new to this site and dont have a clue on how to get them from my phone to my thread! If any techno folks out there want to help this dumb kid out and explain it to me very slowly I'd be very thankful!
