ChetMan,
As the owner of a '65 I have also looked at a lot of the 60-66 era trucks. I lived through the era when these trucks were new and have seen hundreds of really nice trucks. Of all of them only a handfull had good uniform seam and body panel alignment and those were restorations that were better than what came out of the factory.
I'd agree with Red58, with further comment: fit and finish were important - within the limitations of the design & within the accepted quality of the era.These trucks were indeed meant to be work trucks, not cowboy Cadillacs. It wan't until 1967 that fit, finish and creature comforts, rivalling that of automobiles, was a priority.
