underbody color?

Post by fonfixer »

Does anybody know if the underbody was originally painted? Was there any paint on the gearbox/tail, frame, rearend? All I ever remember seeing was rust and mud? :?

haha maybe they all came rust/mud colored from the factory. Im pretty sure the bed and the cab came painted from the factory. I dont think there was any type of undercoat. The frame and rearend were just black.
