It is semi gloss black or about 60% gloss.

GM used a Satin Black. Ford used a semi -gloss black. Ford paint looks shinier.

. . . .

Here are the only two pictures I saved of that 80 mile C-10 that was for sale a few years ago.

The pictures aren't very clear, since they're just a screen save from the video.

Re: original frame sheen?

Looks a bit on the satin side. Satin Vs Semi, close enough. I think I'll use Masterseries Satin Black topcoat.
