I'm pretty sure the one in my 1954 3604 , that I have since replaced, was not painted. I didn't paint the new one.

My 52 cab interior is original and I did not like the looks of that new bright metal playing peek a boo from behind the seat. Painted the top black to hide it. | | | | | Joined: May 2015 Posts: 11,150 Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums | | Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums Joined: May 2015 Posts: 11,150 | On my truck, the part of the tank near the ends and top mainly had overspray on them, telling me the cab interior was painted with the tank installed, but they didn't waste paint on them.
