Bed cross brace question....

I've got the box off my 72 GMC Sierra and have sand blasted the frame and cross braces and I would like to know what color the braces were originally. The truck is blue and I think that they are supposed to be same color as the frame but before I start painting it would be nice to know for sure.....

Thanks

Re: Bed cross brace question....

The braces that I have seen were zinc coated and not painted.

Thumbs up Re: Bed cross brace question....

I just painted mine frame black, and coated with undercoating. Looks good.
