Custom Cab question '55

My old man dragged home a '55 F100 Custom Cab last week and we were checking it over.

What is the list of things that make up the custom cab option?
i know some of the things like the grill, the door locks, full door panels, stainless steel drip rail molding...
more specifically is this stainless door trim and dash trim in the picture part of the custom cab option?? its pretty neat looking, i dont recall ever noticing it on another truck.

Yes, that is 55 Custom Cab interior dash trim. The badges on the doors, the full interior, the gull wings on the grille, the 5 star horn button (as opposed to the gear and lightning bolt), etc., etc.

I don;t think the horn button was different for Custom Cabs. All '54's and '55's had the 5Star horn button.The gear and lightening bolt was first used in 1956.

I could not see your pic (don;t now why?) Does your horn button look like this one on ebay? here is the item number: 140179957852

That is what my '54 looks like and I think all '54 and '55 trucks.
