Ok, on the contrary, looking at the bed floor in my '66, it appears that the bed sides and wheel tubs were painted AFTER the floor was in place. There is clearly body color paint remaining on the bolt heads and overspray on the black wood. I think I can even see evidence of a heavy (paper?) mask that was stapled in place before paint. Pics this weekend maybe.

My apologies to tazattitude for debating originality issues on his thread, when I think all he wanted was cool ideas on how to do his own. Nice truck!
