Re: What was color of original angle bed strips?
Here is an early production 1960 GMC Wideside, with original bed paint. This truck was built in Pontiac, and adheres to the 1960 GMC Painting Regulations. That said, I have seen some presumed original trucks from the Oakland Ca. plant that deviate from this standard. So if your truck is eastern or western production, it could have varied from the plant. The 1960 GMC Painting Regulations call for black wheel wells and black bed(strips and wood). The original wood was Heart Pine treated with Lamp Black. Good luck with the truck and please let us see the progress. Hope this helps,GM
