Can anybody tell me if a chrome oil tank and chainguard were available as an option in 63 or did they just begin in 64?

package, if i remember correctly from palmers.

Can anybody confirm that?

According to Palmers Page 634, the King of the highway group#F-5 included the chrome oil tank in 1963

If you look at the picture I posted in the Buddy seat patterns/correct years thread the chrome oil tank is obvious.
