Default Re: What was color of original angle bed strips?

Hey Steve, I approach my truck in the same manner. While not exactly original, I like to keep it in the ballpark. I only have the one 1960 GMC so most of my research has focused on 60-61 information. I would expect the western trucks to continue with the variations. I only know about the 1960-61 variants. The western trucks sometimes have a white bar across the top of tailgate. And the inner bed and wheel wells are sometimes white. I do not know if ALL western trucks feature these variations, or if it is a matter of some but not all. The serial number will tell you the plant where the truck was made. At least that is the case for 1960-61 GMC. 1002 P XXXX A. The P is for Pontiac Plant. Other letters (as the fifth digit) denote other plants. I am sure the code is floating around here somewhere. Good luck with the truck and thanks for the pictures, GM
