Wasn't the side mount a rpo? If so, wouldn't it be painted body color then? I have a 53 with the optional side mount and it was a RPO, I'll have to check but I thought I saw some copper tone paint on mine from the original paint but not positive. Now this is going to bother me, I got to head out to the garage this morning and check.
