[FC] <VV> 1961 Loadside update - X posted

JR, 
FCs never had backup lights...
You forgot chrome bumpers instead of painted, and stainless windshield  
trim. There's also that "two-tone" paint treatment of the inside of the 
doors...  or did they get door panels??? 
Maybe the rear reflectors near the tail lights.
Later,
Lonzo

I can  think of a few things.  Have no idea if this is all inclusive.
Two sun  visors.
Upholstered with arm rests doors on the pickups (maybe Corvan  too?).
Probably 2 speed - washer wipers.
Maybe backup lights before they  became standard?
