thanks and is that red the original vermilion? How about the panels behind the headlights, did you paint yours black?

Are you referring to the position of the door handles? If so the square shaft for the handle has 2 sets of holes so the handles can be installed either way.
Ask me how I know.

Lots of trucks only had the exterior key door lock, Had to pull up on you interior handle to lock the drivers side and "scoot over" to the passenger side to lock the truck from the outside.
Do you know why? I do.
But as posted I have the "rare" exterior door lock for a 5-star....

1. Safer to scoot over and get out on the side away from traffic.
2. Unlock and let the wife or girl friend in first and then she would unlock your door for you.

After reading through all of this, I still can't figure out ...
What is a five-star cab??
Does it refer to the amount of grille 'teeth' like this one:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1951-Ford-F...53.m1438.l2649
or is it just a premium grade of interior trim?
Was a five-tooth grille a factory option? that one looks pretty slick.
