It's pretty high priced but absolutely gorgeous. One question though. Is tan the original color for the interior on a '63. What else doesn't jive?

What else?
Truck needs a repaint.

Firewall is cab color, not black
Exterior color extends to the weatherstripping
interior colors wrong (which we already know)
Isn't the tailgate logo supposed to be painted?
Bed wood should be black, as I recall.
Dual exhaust is wrong
Looks like the wrong wheels, could be wrong though

Notice there is no place on the rear for a license plate...

Not so much of a restore, rather it is a rebuild.
So calling it a frame up restoration is about as accurate as saying it has the rare optional V6.

It would be more impressive if it had the plaid valve covers (wouldn't it be sad if they removed the plaid and painted them?)

(I know, I am picky... a restore implies a return to original new condition, a rebuild can be new original but usually has changes made to suit the builder/owner)
