Here's a pic from 1966 with wider tires spare and all, he even had the right side rear fender cut out and mounted a second spare tire.

Another great picture BigBlock, Your dads truck appears to have every external option know to man, and then some. This truck would make "The Fall Guy" proud. Do you remember what interior options it had? AM Radio, etc. Also, Do you know if it is a J or G Series truck? I have read that the orange lenses in the hood started in 1963. He could have swapped them in along the way. I love the twin spotlights. It looks like he was no stranger to the GMC Accessories Counter. Any prayer that this old truck is still among the rolling? GM
