I've always wondered, is there a certain trim level designation for the trucks with the cab and bedside chrome trim, maybe just delux? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 | there were some options called deluxe [ delux is the Ford spellng  ], but not an overall trim package - the 'deluxe cab' option included a number of things inside and out, but the boxside was a seperate item, as well as chrome light bezels and hubcaps .... some consider the big back window the 'deluxe cab', but it was just one of the items and could be had seperately .... I don't think general trim level designations really srarted until the 60's and later Bill | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,971 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,971 | I believe the "deluxe" cab was probably the specific seat fabric and chrome knobs inside the cab. The large back window, chrome window trim, radio, box trim, etc. were all options. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 | Builder - that interior stuff was part of the package called the "Custom Cab" option, although any piece could be individually had from a dealer .... also RPO 430 is called the "Deluxe Equipment" option: outside chrome window reveals [front, sides, back] - RH sunshade and arm rest - cig lighter - 2nd horn ... the only other "package" available was the "Deluxe Chrome" outside trim, as shown on that first list ... here's a display of the individual options Bill | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,971 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,971 | Squeeze,
That does sound correct. It has been a while since I referenced the options and it wasn't quite clear in my head anymore. I do know that the Fleetside bed chrome was a '59 option only (even though there are many 58's that now have it). Thanks for the correction.
