    The truck in the photo is post 1959 and before 1965. While it is true that
    it has a square rear step, it is not the SII rear step. The SII rear step is
    about 18 inches long. Instead this is a SII side step that has been attached
    to a later SIIA/SIII rear (half-round style) step bracket. The lights are
    early lucas (probably 3 inchers) They appear an odd color because they are
    faded by the sun. The rear door latch with its straight internal handle
    gives the truck away as pre 65. I would say it is a early SIIA probably a
    1962 that has a side step off a SII fitted to its original step bracket. . .
