You should be able to tell by the quality, shape and fit of the splash pan if it is built like 1960-1962 automotive factory sheet metal parts.
Give us a peek or two.

My truck was purchased new for a university geology field camp, and I'm the second owner. I've seen no evidence for any modifications other than a spare tire mount. I've seen pictures and a thread of belly pans on 2WD early 1960s GMC on 67-72 Chevy truck forum. So belly pans appear to have come from the factory on 1960-62 GMC. My belly pan is for the K1000 chassis and is different from the 2WD pans. It looks completely factory and not do it yourself add on.
I must diagree that rivnuts were used on during manufacturing of my 1962 GMC. A quick search indicates rivnuts came out in the 1930s.
I'm in the process of transferring to a new phone so a picture isn't possible right now.
