never heard of a 302 flipping under the hood. Thanks for the story. Makes one want to go tighten some bolts.

The truck has a very old single stage paint job on it, so its possible the handle guards could have been added then. Does the door pocket mean anything...and it does have the truck ID plate on the drivers door It appears the door is the orgional. Just wondering if it was origionaly ordered as a Custom Cab. I'm new to these trucks so I don't know what all you get with that option.

Thanks,

I think the door pockets were 65 and 66 CC. We have a few sets but they are rotten as he!! The metal is always in great shape on New Mexico trucks, but the sun dry rots plastics bad.

We always end up using the metal door panels since they are a great place to put speakers, just remember to put a layer of thick plastic behind the panels so the leaky window seals don't kill them.

Everything stayed bolted together, but the homemade cross member crumbled. Little bro was on it pretty hard at the time too. The after market ones are the way to go unless you have skills, whomever made that one didn't.
