Some friends helped me flip her right side up and I was able to get the when tubs in before calling it a night. I hope to at lease put in the boards by Saturday and get things ready to drill with in two weeks. I decided to go factory black.

Moving the pool table took more time than the truck bed - go figure.

Looking good thumbs_up

Just out of curiosity, weren't the wheel housings painted the body color, and not black?

My only recollection is my Dad's '72, which were orange to match the truck... but it had a steel bed floor.

Thanks,

This has been a point of long research. The west coast trucks were painted slightly different than the east coast trucks. Then to mix matters up even more the pattern changed with the two-tone vs. the solid colors. It's because it's a '60, many are not sure IF the factory had set their paint standard patterns in concrete. You can see this in the early color truck ads. Which is what I followed as best I could.
