The guy that I bought it from was not the original owner. He had heard from the person he bought it from that it was original but I trust you guys and the books that I've read so far that leads me to believe it is an aftermarket bed although it looks to be very well done and matches the frame very nicely.

The VIN indicates it is a 1000 model (not a 1500) and the six lug wheels also suggest that, it would be relatively safe to say it is a "half ton" truck.
The "J" verifies it as a 1962.
That it probably is a red primer, as noted by bigblockv6, and since it is wearing similar to the grey primer I painted by first GMC with... I'd suggest the uniform paint job is due to it having been repainted. Being a 4x4 I wouldn't be surprised if the front has been replaced as a 4x4 that is actually used off road tends to get damaged/beat up. Probably got the new paint at the same time it got new body parts.
Is that VIN off the title or off the plate in the truck? Just curious...
