    Typical 60's GM stuff, great looking but wow the metals sure don't have todays protections

    what's going on the back, Hardwood bed with chrome trim and spacers,

    where you moving the fuel to the back under the bed with a hidden in bed filler?

    Nice. Makes me think of the '57 Chevy pickup I had back in the day. I loved that thing. I hope I can get another some day. I had to leave it behind when... long story. You can read about it in the book. :)
