So far, everything I've seen indicates this is the Sport Custom, and unless I'm mistaken, that tailgate panel didn't come out until 1971. Before that, the colors were reversed.

Ddey65 ◊ 2011-10-10 02:38	Yes, but it was the "Pickup and Van Spotters Guide: 1945-1992," by Tad Burness that reminded me of the trim, not the Fordification website. -- Last edit: 2011-10-10 02:38:22
