Forgive me but this makes no sense to me.
By the 80's trucks were elpo dipped (which is a flat black finish) and the the body color sprayed on the exterior surfaces. The bottom would have this flat black showing with body color overspray around the outside. There never was any silver paint applied to the underside during the process (unless the primary exterior color was silver).

Do you have a theory on the silver? Were the trucks unrestored? Lastly do you know which assembly plants they came from?
Note: the above are sincere questions being asked to aid in understanding and engage in mutually beneficial dialog.
