Not period correct I know but intending to alter Rear Valance, Lights and Tailgate Hinge Mounts to be early 60's correct. Any other alterations required? Rack?

I know a bloke with a pair, will ask for you. Tub looks good. OEM round foot hole??

 

[sneaky]

If you get that tub and are back dating the tail lights I'd be very keen on the current ones.
