It is unusual to see the metal strip (ala a pick up bed) on a larger truck platform body. By the mid-sixties all the mainstream manufacturers were mostly using treated shiplap YP boards and it was most common to see self tapping TorX type screws. I wish you had included the understructure in you video.
