Radio, climitizer, lighter, OD transmission. Plue strange newer outside door mirrors. Shows to have 41K miles - could be original - interior looks to be that way from rubber floor mat to headliner.

I'm still amused at how many blue ones there are. Although if I didn't own a blue one, I probably wouldn't have noticed.

I'd like to know how many were special-ordered in Fleet colors, or deviations of the standard colors where the entire truck including the bumpers and the grille were all one color like the Omaha Orange Caltrans units.
