From some researching.... GM did the beds differently. GMC's apparently got the floors/tubs done (assembled & painted) separately & then bolted into the bed structure. Chevys were assembled w/the floor painted then masked off while the body & tubs were sprayed.

GMC's had black floors/tubs.
Chevy's had black floors & body colored tubs.

I'm not going to try & re-create the patina of the inside of the bed. It's will be black paint on everything new (tubs, strips, & wood).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
