Re: 1970 K20 Z62 Full Restoration
On my '70, I used an original used driver's side front fender inner skirt, and a new passengers side. The drivers side had schutz coating on it from the factory, so I applied 3m schutz with a special air schutz gun on the passengers side to match. I also applied this coating on the rocker boxes to replace what stones had worn away.

Thanks for the link. Eric has tried/used all measure of liners/coatings/stone chips...just on our trucks. It's always a challenge to match the factory textures whether it's a Blazer top or a fender well. The main concern for me on this one is whether I'll have enough guts to let him go full factory and sloppily spray underneath this truck as was originally done and cover up a lot of nice finishes and details....we'll see.

Re: 1970 K20 Z62 Full Restoration
Keith got back to me and he didn't disappoint. Here's his response on the question of the bed floor:
The bed floor was received assembled from the supplier (Checker Motors, or GM Met Fab Indy or whatever). Meaning: the main floor panel itself, plus the cross sills and misc brackets and such. The bed sides and front panel were then added to the floor in the cab (body) shop, which is the same area where the cab was welded together from all the little bits and pieces you start with. The cab and box together then make their way through the rest of the cab shop and on to paint and then trim. In terms of primer color - it varies a bit based on model year and final assembly location. I would say you are doing the right thing in duplicating whatever you found underneath the paint. I don't have any '70 Fremont photos handy but these are from Flint circa 1979. https://www.73-87.com/7387info/Assembly%20Line.htm (Photos 5,6,7 and 8 are Line 2 Blazer/Suburban. Photos 9, 10 and 11 are pickup cab shop and paint)

Re: 1970 K20 Z62 Full Restoration
I'd have a hard time coving up the detail. I too am not sure what im going to do on the underside of the cab. I guess ill wait to see what yours looks like first.

I was degreasing my high hump trans cover the other day and found an unusual color I’d say it’s like a flat UPS truck color, first time I’ve run into this Great build so far
