Custom Cab means that it came with a little nicer upholstery and some extra trim that the standard cab didn't have.Ford didn't make an extended cab until 75.

That's a nice truck, they always look good in matte black. I just bought a truck like that, but a couple years younger, and with a Y, so seeing that reminds me: Your's says "Custom Cab", like mine. I have no idea what this means, is it just the name for a non-extended cab?

Not trying to alarm you but how old are your New OLD Stock (NOS) tires? Manufacturers put date codes on their tires for a reason???

The subject of most of my queries on this board are related to the learning curve of having my '56 T-bird...I just thought it would be fun to show you guys the other Ford in the stable...not "Y" powered, actually it had a 223 in it from the factory...but it's the right era, and he got some new shoes for Christmas so I thought I'd share anyway...(please note the cleverly placed red over spray on the tire has been dealt with )

Finally ready for some detailing and some fresh matte black...

15x10 rear with 285/70-15 Radial T/A's (found some NOS)...         15x7 front with 225/70-15 Radial T/A's

I mentioned that it wasn't "Y" powered, right? That was the disclaimer...here's my Caddy:
