I must report that today my hopes were dashed. I have found clear evidence it has been painted, albeit by a very, very good painter. Was hanging in the garage daydreaming of mods as one does and leaning on the bed my hand brushed a wire under the bed lip. Instantly I knew it was welding wire from the bulbous end. Grabbed a flashlight and got to snooping real deep and under the bed rail I see where they patched the holes from original bedrails. Closer inspection of the passenger jamb revealed a ridge of clear from a tape edge. Now again, this guy was real good and it has molding and the wear characteristics of being a vintage job. So, all in all I'm not mad just disappointed. Either way she looks good for her age and no one would hesitate to give her a second look at the light.
