SinisterPerf 'Bolter S Joined: Sep 2023 Posts: 34 WATERLOO, IN	What is the original color of the 1948 Chevy Thriftmaster 3100 truck bed wood? Internet AI says: southern yellow pine treated with a combination of linseed oil and lampblack, giving it a dark / blackish appearance. Does anyone have any pictures that show just how dark / blackish it is supposed to look from the factory? 1948 Chevy 3100 Thriftmaster pickup Old skool engine swap ('54 pass 235) Four on the floor 12v conversion
