I've been into the TF and Blue chip Trucks since I was 6 - 7 years old, dad bought a new 59 GMC pickup, I didn't want him to get the 1960 that he tested.
I know the trucks fairly well, spent high school days working on every aspect of a 57 1/2 ton bumper to bumper, everything except the steering gear. Installed brand new factory OEM doors, and in I think it was 1970 I could have bought the last brand new cab in the country, mom wouldn't go for it.
Anyway for what a nice factory stock truck should look like here is a place to start taking the pictures John, the interior panels on the door are I think an option or standard with the Cameo, other wise just painted steel. Gives a good idea of the proper engine color as well, I know there is on some trucks, paint stick numbers or markings sometimes in the fire wall engine clearance hump, not sure if they are on this or cleaned off?

I find it so funny all the TF trucks I see advertised as restored, I have only seen one that is close to being properly restored. Cameo's are an exception in some cases, but standard TF trucks never had shiny paint on the top of the dash nor did cameo's, never unpainted bed wood, it was always black, fire walls always are body color.
It is sickening all the ruined trucks out there forsale.
