I saw it about 3 minutes after it was listed, I bought it about 2 hours later and now I own it. That's about all I've got other than I found a PA inspection sticker in the glove box. Also have most of the build sheet and owners manual.

My 62 was painted
I'll check what my 63 was. Guess I don't have pics. Still have some parts.
All of my 64's and 65's, eight in total, were spackle.

Thanks Mark, what I original thought appears to be correct for '64.
Still trying to find a picture of what @PRND21 was referring to as trunk fillers panels.

These are the cardboard like covers that go over the trunk extension space.

Also I'm not saying your truck isn't correct, just stating my experiences. I can't remember what my 63 was. Seems like it was painted too.

Why are you disagreeing with me @RemCharger ?? Mark is the one that stated and shows that he has 8 x '64 and '65's all in OE gray spackle. '62 and possibly '63 painted.
Think these are what your looking for. They go between quarter and trunk floor. http://www.kramerauto.com/proddetail.asp?prod=EIT-IN-016 no pictures ask before buying.
There is more to the story on trunk paints then...
Assembly plants, models, country of origins,, not sure. But my 64s (Canadian cars!) Don't have the schpackle.
I believe Polaras only came with the side boarding. I kept mine, they were in pretty decent shape.
My survivor car came out of the back of a chrysler dealer from the 40s. He even gave me the bill of sale on an original dealer letterhead that had 194x on the date at the top.
(Sorry-side story)

Good info ! Like I originally said I hate the gray spackle anyhow.. I sure won't be spraying over the black. Thanks for the "filler" links Fran, Krammer is $125 + shipping and there on your next link to ebay is Vans selling the same ones for 50 bucks and 50 bucks shipping.. 
64. Polara model, original, Canadian car.
The inspiration for the Jesse James build lol

I will get you the pictures of the real side covers... there is much more to them than that. They're hugeGood info ! Like I originally said I hate the gray spackle anyhow..

Kramer was the first place I looked. Thought you spot Vans. Jim Kramer back in the 80's before internet came to CT. Papa's Dodge swap meets. Nice guy but prices were on high side. I went to those swap meets at 6am to find the good deals. He beat me to a nice deal. But afterward with my limited funds I needed to concentrate on what I needed.Good info !

Wonder if Kramers are more like what RemCharger is talking about. For $125 I'd hope so.
Sorry dadsbee. I was just disagreeing that the end of the story was they were all spackled. I just enjoy talking about the originality of these cars.

I just got those pics off the net. They are actually Tee shaped. That is what the top side looks like.
Maybe early 64's were painted???

I scrounged around on the internet,, I do see survivors that look like they had the spackle. It also seems the American cars all had the spare tire mount up on the hump. Canadian cars were mounted on the right ,towards the tail light.
So, all I can say for sure is, Canadian cars didn't have spackle, and likely were the only ones to get the full size trunk side panels..
We need Dave6t4 to chime in

Noticed Kramer lists two trunk cardboard panels bet the $50 one fills the floor to quarter. The $125 finishes the floor to top of quarter.
