I wouldn’t call that a frankenstein. Shortened 71 with a 67 nose. They added a tach, shaved the mirrors, repainted in the original colors. Beautiful truck. The brown interior matches nicely. Not sure if that’s original but it could be. I see a spare tire holder in there. I would check under the bed side rails and underneath to see if the bed was shortened or if they used a factory short bed. It looks like the latter since the inside of the bed paint looks to be a different color?
