Factory Color of underside of tub?
I am doing a frame off 1971 Jimmy. I am getting ready to paint the under side of the tub. I was going to paint it the body color med. blue. Does anyone know what the factory finish of the under side was when new? Black or body color? Now i am leaning to black. Thank you

My 72 Jimmy was black, but was completely undercoated. I did a frame off on mine and redid it black (Cool Car Ceramic). My truck had the Cheyane option though.

Re: Factory Color of underside of tub?
Mine was originally baby s$%t green, but the underside was black with heavy undercoating. The undercoat was in such good shape, I didn't mess with it.

Mine was very original with 56,000 miles and it was black with yellow overspray from the exterior.

Re: Factory Color of underside of tub?
There was also a truck with I believe under 100 original miles on here not to long ago that was Red Oxide primer on the bottom. It was just a basic package, so that could be why it was unpainted body color or black. I know Chevelles were left Red oxide primer with overspray on them when they left the factory, but trucks could have been different. Trevor
