Kind of looks like you would need to wear a tux to drive it! Very nicely fitted. Too bad they couldn't get the year right on the tag the first time.

Very cool truck.Maybe it is a 60 with a 57 grille and hood.It doesn't look like it has 57/58 fenders.

It IS a thing of beauty for sure! I can really appreciate the attention to detail and the workmanship both by Orrville and the current owner. Guess I'd never own anything like that or a tuxedo. They'd both get trashed on my mountain road. Would love a pic of it towing the vintage airstream down a desert highway though.

Absolutely beautiful truck! I didn't remember the Orrville, OH conversions having suicide doors, that is pretty neat.

I did some looking and I believe it is safe to say that all the Crew Cabs made in Orrville, Ohio did not have suicide doors. That is clearly a change that was customized. You can find many pictures with a simple image search and they are all normal doors. IIRC they used a standard door and cab were they would cut them down and fit them up with the front doors and cab.
Some of the railroad ones I have seen are actually 3 door. Only the passenger side opens.
I like the looks of the suicide doors though!

I believe Mike is right though, as there seems to be no round boss on the fender/splash apron where the 57-58 parking lights would normally be. Definitely a customized touch.
