This GMC truck has to be by far the most original truck in existence on this thread if indeed all the information is correct. Can any one confirm that GMC in 1962 painted the rear wheel housings black to match the wood on the bed floor?

Confirmed. If the GMC was built in the Midwest of the United States ( such as Ponitiac, Michigan ) yes, the rear wheel tubs were black, not just '62, '60-'66 also. Oakland and Fremont GMC's were not done this way.

Ok Cool, Thanks factorystock for confirming this. I have not seen this before as I have only owned 64-66 Chevys and all the GMC that I have seen had the wheel housings painted the same color as the main body color.
