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

[J R Read_HML]

Hey Lonzo, I admittedly don't know all the differences.  Mine's a standard and I don't know what I'm missing....  <GRIN>

Oh, but I change out the bumpers for chrome ones.  Anybody need a good set of painted ones?

Later, JR

  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?
