Tail pipes were almost an annual replacement item on those days, so I really never knew what was original. I remember we had turndowns because we needed the tailgates to drop all the way to unload barrels. That is also why we never had rear bumper because tail gates would hit the bumper and not drop all the way. It is also a good picture of the spare tire carrier. Very few of them survived because unless you strictly stayed in the city, the spare would get so covered with dirt on country roads that you couldn't get it out. Most all spares were moved to the side of the bed for that reason.
